Such dreams indicate a troubled mind. Do you feel disturbed during the day time for no particular reason? Such dreams represent depression and aggression. Consult a psychiatrist as he shall help you deal with your internal conflicts.

My brother, who sleeps next to me, complains that I laugh a lot in my sleep. What does it indicate?

Gurmeet Singh, Ambala

It indicates a lot of suppressed emotions, which in turn indicate an introvert personality. This habit must not be limited to just laughing. You must be also crying and speaking in your dreams. Try and be more expressive of your feelings and thoughts.

I am 42 years old. Many times in my dreams I see myself as an insane person, doing stupid antics.

Radhakrishan, Hisar

It indicates your perception of your life. You feel overburdened with problems and responsibilities and feel that at this rate you might lose your balance. The madness is also a desire for a way out of all responsibilities.

I am nine years old. I dreamt that a lion was trying to eat me. I shot at it twice and it seemed dead. After a few minutes it again got up and attacked me. An elephant came and saved me.

Anubhaw Singh, Chandimandir

To be able to subdue a lion is sign of victory in any task you undertake. Its second attack indicates you’re susceptible to enemy attacks. Beware of wrong acquaintances. An elephant saving you indicates that an affluent person shall help you out of your problems.

I am a 17-year-old student. I often dream that I work hard to achieve my goal but do not succeed. Such dreams generally come during examination time and make me nervous.

Punny Jaggi, Ludhiana

You lack confidence. If you work hard then there should be no reason for this nervousness. When you leave certain things to chance, such fears occur.
