I am 29 years old. Sometimes I see a dog in my dreams. It tries to bite my hand. When I tell him not to bite me, it runs away.
Lalit M. Joshi, Fatehgarh

I am a 28-year-old unmarried woman. Recently, I dreamt of cooking on a stove. I have never used one in real life as we have always used gas stove.

This dream is a forewarning. You must not get easily swayed by people. A hasty decision could make you lose an important friendship.
I am 18 years old. Many times I dream of getting hurt. The first time it occurred a few months after my maternal uncle’s death. I dreamt of my uncle slapping my back. Nowadays once a month I dream of getting hurt by an animal or person. When I wake up I feel pain at the point I was hurt.
Gayatri Bharadwaj, Panchkula
Do you ignore your conscience when it says ‘No’? Such dreams of getting hurt and then feeling the pain in the morning is like self-punishment for having committed some wrong. When you know that a particular act is not right, try not to commit it. If such dreams become more frequent, you shall require professional help.
I am 14 years old. I often dream of running and a lion following me. Suddenly I fall down and the lion kills me.
Sumer, Ropar
Your dream indicates that you shall be open to attacks by enemies. But a constant dream of this sort carries a deeper meaning. In all possibility, you fear somebody. The frequency of the dream shall indicate whether the person is a close family relation or a known person. Lion indicates that the person holds a position of authority over you. Take the help of elders, somebody you can confide in.
I am a student of Class XII. I had a dreadful dream wherein I saw my friend’s sister running towards me. She was being chased by a boy. She took shelter in our room. The boy too came in my room and showed me a knife. My mother handed me a knife, and I killed him.
Sunanda Sharma, Paprola
Do you by any chance know the boy? The important part is not your saving the girl, but your killing the boy. It portrays jealousy. You like the boy but he doesn’t reciprocate your feelings. Thus, the violence.
I am 20 years old. Many times I dream of standing at a great height. When I look down, I feel giddy. I want to come down but I feel scared. I lie down and wait for somebody to come and help me.
Vandana, Amritsar
You feel overwhelmed with responsibilities. Are you finding it difficult to cope with studies or is some personal problem getting out of hand? You want someone to come and solve your problems. You desire to lean on somebody. Vandana, certain battles of life have to be fought all alone.
