Bed Dream Meaning

Did you know that the history of the beds can be traced as far back to 7000 B.C. – the Early Neolithic age? They tend to appear often in our dreams but they are very much misunderstood.

This ancient dream symbol has a wide range of interpretations attached to it, primary connecting the dreamer to intimacy, relationships and security. However it is not uncommon to feel your bed shaking, or even noticing someone sitting on your bed.

It might feel like a dream but you might be surprised to know that it usually related to sleep paralysis. Distinguishing whether this was in fact a dream or a hallucination helps when it comes to decoding the symbol.

Common Bed Dreams:

Dreaming of peeing your bed, or bed wetting,
Noticing someone in your bed,
The bed is broken in your dream,
Seeing lots of ants on bed,
Lying in bed with someone,
Dirty mattress,
Falling out of bed.

The so called image of the bed is not necessarily a place just to sleep, but a symbol that taps directly into your unconscious; associated with feelings of your private life that you might not be willing to disclose.

What makes the bedroom and beds such an interesting symbol is it mirrors a part of the personality of the dreamer that they might not be familiar with as yet. A message is coded with the events that take place, objects found, or if this is your childhood bedroom.

Particular rooms in your house symbolizes the different emotional functions of your mind, body and soul. It has the ability to bring you back to your past to show you forgotten memories or repressed desires that may have been closed off in your mind. The bed may also appear to bring you to the present moment longing for inner peace and sexual problems.

Bed Wetting Dreams

Laying In Bed With Someone

Depending the context of your dream it the meaning can go either way. Depending on your interaction with this person alters the meaning of the dream. Was this someone you know or a stranger? Did you feel comfortable or attracted to this person?
