5 Bizarre Dreams Decoded

If you dream of being haunted by a ghost, it could be that the ghost is a part of yourself or some activity you’ve indulged in about which you feel embarrassed or guilty. Face the spooky challenge: your psyche is trying to help guide you in the best way it knows to encourage change.

Against your will, you are abducted by aliens and taken away in their spaceship. It is a terrifying dream, but in your waking life take a look to see who or what is making you feel powerless and out of control. If the reason lies with someone or something obvious, talk to a trusted person about what’s happening. You may need help to avoid the toxicity.

You dream of climbing a steep hill to admire the view. It is superb, but as you lean forward to see better you overbalance and find yourself falling a long way to the ground. This dream is not all bad: it shows that you are taking stock of your life's panorama so far. Take comfort in the fact that you had the strength to climb that hill to get to this viewpoint but remember to be extra careful now that you have reached this breadth of psychological vision. Pride comes before a fall!

You find yourself walking out of a store naked onto a crowded street. The fact that you are naked surrounded by stunned crowds does not embarrass you. Your dream mirrors an inner confidence. Understand that you have reached a stage in your psychological development where you feel no need to hide your true self, complete with imperfections.

You choose your favourite fruit in a market and take a bite out of it only to see that it is riddled with maggots! You throw it away in disgust but fail to go back to complain. This dream indicates your instinctual response lies in preferring not to complain. Try to change this behaviour with one small step at a time, such as asking for replacements in stores or pointing out obvious errors.
