Most times we rarely remember our dreams, but when we do, they can give insights into issues that have become embedded deep within us, and offer solutions to dilemmas we cannot solve while we are conscious. Here are some common dreams that focus on hidden fears with suggested solutions.

When you dream of falling and there is fear in your heart, it is a clear signal of some kind of insecurity.

This dream often follows a fight or misunderstanding between you and your loved one that is causing you to feel terribly insecure about the relationship.
