Are you financially insecure? The first dream depicts your worries regarding it. You are aware that you are growing old, thus you fear losing your job. The second dream depicts your regret regarding an opportunity you missed. The present insecurity further strengthens the feeling of regret. Try to remain content.

I, frequently dream of people pursuing me in order to harm me. Many times they succeed. Such dreams disturb me.

Madan Pal, Ludhiana

Such dreams portray a deep-rooted insecurity regarding your welfare. Maybe you are obsessed with the fear of death. Have you had any harrowing experience in the past?

I am 44 years old, but as yet I do not remember having seen any dream. Why is it so?

Vikram Kapil, Jalandhar

Every person in sleep goes through several cycles of two stages — deep sleep and REM (Rapid eve movement). During the REMstage, the dream area of the mind is activated. Thus everyone dreams during this stage. It’s a different matter that some people do not remember these dreams. That depends on how strong you are affected by the dream plus the stage of sleep when you wake up.

I am a 28-year-old doctor. Sometimes I dream of appearing for my Class XIIexaminations. I get a difficult question paper, as compared to others. When I try to answer my paper, I wake up.

Your dream portrays your wish to turn back time so that you could reconsider your decision regarding your profession. It reveals your dissatisfaction. To make the best of the things available is a rare virture. Try to develop it.

I am a Class-XII student, preparing for PET. I dreamt that I was on my way to school. There were two roads leading to it. I saw a number of saints coming towards me on the first one. I took the second road. There I saw three of the saints coming towards me. I felt scared but continued to walk towards my school. I gave them way as the road was crowded with cars. Then I start following them. But I got frightened and woke up.

Naresh, Shimla

The saints approaching you from both roads depicts that you have a guilty conscience. To see saints moving away from you, portrays ill-will. The fear you feel is not as a result of seeing the saints but by experiencing guilt. Your following the saints is the only good sign, but again you feel scared and wake up. It portrays that you are ruled by your desires.
