We all have dreams every now and then which really stick in our minds. Ever dreamt about an ex-partner that you haven't thought about in years? How about the one we all hate...finding yourself naked in public! An odd dream can leave us wondering all day what on earth is going on in our heads.

Sometimes the meanings behind these weird scenarios aren't quite as obvious as you might think, so before you start worrying that you're really in love with the postman, read our guide to making sense of some of the most common dreams we all have.

Have you dreamt about...
An ex-partner
Teeth falling out
Being naked in public
Being chased
Falling
Sex with someone 'odd'
Flying
Water
Being lost
Someone that's died
Babies New!
Animals New!
Your own death New!
Dieting New!

I had this dream that there was a ghost in a cubical in the girls toilets of a place where my dad always used to go, but he's dead now, so could I be dreaming that the ghost is him? But why would he be in the girls toilets? And then a boy i know came running in, and opened a wall, i don't know why or how he opened the wall, but there was a big fire behind it, and the ghost disapeared into it, and then the fire stopped, and the wall shut again. What does this mean, It's really been annoying me :S

Hi, I've had this dream about three times now. In this dream, there are yellow chairs one behind of eachother and I'm sitting in one of these chairs. They are moving forward and they are being held up by very long silver metal poles. The chairs are very high - so high that when you look down, it is black. The walls of this tall room are dark purple and I remember there is one single light on the ceiling. I also remember looking back and this girl sitting on the chair behind me. Please tell me what this means? Thank you. :D

I had a dream that i lived with the person i have a huge crush on but we wern't a couple, i was asleep and in the morning he brough me toast into my room and was acting normal; just himself. I ate the breakfast and got changes into a bikini. I went into his room with a chair and sat with him on his balcony, but he seemed really quiet and unusual. We were making little convosation so i asked him how his recent holiday was but he didn't answer. I am really confused about this, please email me!

I had a dream that I was on tour with a new up coming band. We toured around the world and our tour bus would turn into a plane and a boat. So we never got off the bus or on anything else. There was my one of my sisters, the band and a ginger girl. I didnt know who the ginger girl was. I started to flirt with a band mate and everything was ok untill he started to flirt with the ginger girl. I felt so jealous and I woke up feeling jealous and angry. Before I woke up I remember finally getting off the bus and going to a huge house to sleep before we had to go to our next tour spot.

I dreamt that I went into a small square room with my mother and brother and there was a ghost in there. The room went bright white and suddenly I was alone, I could sense there was a spirit with me and I felt more scared than I ever had. The room then started to fall quite fast (as if I was in a lift) and when it stopped I managed to get out and I was in the rear garden of the house I grew up in (which I no longer live in). I climbed over the back fence and above the horse field there was a aircraft (similar to the memphis belle but with inly 1 wing), I knew somehow that there were lots of spirits in the plane and they were trying to find me. I ran to the bus stop where I was alone at first then all of a sudden there were about 50 people crowding round all waiting for the bus. I phoned the police and cried at them for help saying "I am being attacked by spirits this is not a joke please come and help me". The people were all old faces from when I was younger (not people I was friends with but people I recognised (old neigbours etc)). tHE PLANE WAS CIRCLING ME AND IT WAS WOBBLING AS IT ONLY HAD ONE WING AND IT SEEMED THAT ANY MINUTE IT WAS GOING TO CRASH FROM THE SKY. iT WAS A BIZZARE DREAM AND WHEN i WOKE i REALLY FELT SCARED AND FELT LIKE i HAD BEEN CRYING FOR HOURS. I KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF IN THERE BUT DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT COULD SYMBOLISE OR REPRESENT??

I just had a dream that i was running after someone with a sniper rifle and they was trying to shoot me but i caught them and got the rifle off of them and whilst running after them,shot them constantly in the lower back in which they collapsed on the ground leaving me with the large gun in which i tried to hide in a near by train station.

When i was younger i used 2 have the same dream 1nce every few weeks and i havn't had it for years. But i had it again last week and i am really curious about what it means as it is rather frightening, In my dream i am asleep in my room and i wake up and i look around and there is a fairground in my room and there is a strange music playing in the bakground.Then all the lights in the house start to flicker and a man steps off a merry-go-round and his face is all muddled up and in the wrong places. He has no nose and his eyes are pure white.. no colour. He has very long dirty fingernails and he started to run them across the merry-go-round making an awfull noise. I hide under my covers and everything goes quiet. I peek under the covers and he jumps on me. He rests his nees on my chest and starts 2 strangle me. He smiles and he has only a few teeth. I can feel myself drifiting off and i glance in the corner and i can see my dad stood there. He died 10 years ago wen i was 5. He grabs the man and every time i wake up. What does this mean?!
