Losing friends, being chased and falling: 15 common dreams and what they really mean

Whether you remember every dream you have ever had or just a few short snippets, every single person on earth dreams every night.

Sometimes they might be straightforward stories of winning the lottery or spending the day at the seaside.

But dreams don't alway make sense and often don't follow a linear pattern.

And the field of dream research becomes even more fascinating when people from different cultures and backgrounds report having similar dreams.

In fact, dreams such as losing teeth and being chased are common all over the world.

And while the feeling and interpretation of each person's dream can be different, there are some common themes that run through many of them.

Tamara Trusseau, whose journey as a psychic and clairvoyant started at a young age, has been exploring the meaning of dreams since she was just 12 years old.

Now in her early 40s, Tamara, who founded Trusseau TV, has released her first novel A Key To Your Dreams.

The book offers a step-by-step guide to the art of dream analysis. Here she reveals her interpretations of 15 common dreams.
