Every night we arrive unwillingly at the door of the dream realm as we are forced to become the main character of a movie we never choose. Your unconscious mind has full access of what you are going to watch, or who you will encounter in this bizarre dream realm as you are a puppet on its strings.
Some might say dreams are just our imagination running wild but this is not the case for everybody. In fact some of the most disturbing dream symbols have been recorded as far back to ancient Egyptian times.
Warnings Of Bad Dream Omens
#1 Teeth Dreams
Yes, you guessed it. One of the most common, yet disturbing dreams that usually revolve around having your teeth either pulled, missing, broken or even falling out. Did you know that teeth dreams where considered a bad omen in the ancient Egyptian dream book.
The unseal thing about teeth dreams is the fact it is known to be the oldest but nobody still has a clue what it means. Some experts say that teeth dreams connect the dreamer to personal loss, anxiety, death of a loved one, image or a major life change.
Many people even report losing there teeth and someone close to them dying. Now this might not be the case for every single person, but there is a strange correlation between the two.
#2 Crashes
Does this mean you are going to experience a car crash? Hardly likely. But dreams about driving usually contains psychic elements attached to it that seem to appear in the distant future.

#3 Snake Bites
Not all snakes that appear in your dream are considered a bad omen, in fact sometimes they appear as symbols of inner healing or rebirth…However this is not the case when the snake bites or attacks you in your dream.
Once this cold blooded reptiles show up in your dreams it becomes a “forewarning” implying you might be around something very dangerous. Unfortunately, these dreams often come as a warning dream that tends to predict coming in contact with an enemy in the near future.

Due to its enigmatic deceptive nature the snake that bites may also relate to events in the future or health that will take a blow. Did the venom enter the bloodstream? The unknown strike has the ability to attack your central nervous system – metaphoric for a venomous attack on your mental well being. See snake dreams.
#4 Rats
Rats are considered one of the worst dream symbols you can ever experience. They love to show up when there is a very serious issue in your life that you have either neglected or someone in your life is the rat. The only good dreams about rats is when they are killed by the dreamer or scurry out of the home.
Since they are highly intelligent rodents it becomes a clue that this problem will be extremely hard to spot and get rid of. The moment a rat appears in your dream you have been warned to find out what this threat could be.
Rats commonly appear in our dreams, they love to find their way inside our houses usually leaving excrement or noticing a rat infestation. Since the house is symbolic for the dreamers mind/psyche your unconscious is calling for you to examine what this could be.
These nasty rodents have a tendency to gnaw away at your mind everyday hiding in the dark corners. The only way to understand who or what the rat represents you need to do some inner work. Your dream will provide you with the right amount of clues where to look.
#5 Cockroaches
Have you met anyone who said they actually like cockroaches before? Once these gross insects crawl in your dream be prepared for a fight. This is a message from your unconscious to investigate your personal shadow; the dark side of your personality related to your impulses, urges and behaviors that are running a mock in your mind.

They may also appear to be troubling negative thoughts that eat away at your positive energy. The best cockroach is a dead one. They bring your attention to what might be bugging you. Do you know what that is?
#6. The Child In Danger
Who should really care about the child that is in danger in your dream? Well it turns out that the little boy or girl is actually you crying out for your attention. It begs for you to notice it…
Known as your inner child they commonly make their appearances in your dream for you to recuse them. Why? Because growing up isn’t easy! Our past childhood trauma still resonates within us as adults that hinders or stunts our development to becoming a fully integrated adult. See inner child in dreams.

- Say nurturing things and offer reassurance.
- Meditate back to a time when you were a kid.
- Go into that time and reassure that everything will be just fine.

#7. Natural Disasters
Depending the type of disaster just prepare yourself for something unexpected. The reason is its metaphoric ability to destroy a city, it came unexpected, pumping fear, as you take cover in your house.
When mother nature appears with a vengeance its a warning of either an unconscious or outside threat that will cause havoc in your life. See natural disaster dreams.
#8 The Unknown Feminine Threat
Women tend to experience bears in their dream than men. Well this is unless the man has a very toxic relationship with his mother — once you provoke or challenge this powerful feminine energy it is known to attack you in the woods. The bear in your dream is often disguised as your mother that has the ability to attack once her cubs go astray.
Alternatively, women who pose a threat or danger in your life will metaphorically morph into these particular feminine symbols. Your main goal is to develop the strength to attack or kill this unconscious beast that is causing a threat in your life.

These dreams may be a way to work through unmet needs or process trauma.
In my dream I was in a combination of my house and my grandma’s old house. I remember seeing a telephone pole and it was generating red electricity and the sky was a dark red. I remember the electricity running down the wire past the house. While it passed, I could feel a burning sensation in my stomach. I don’t know what it means.
I think it means you’re running from some kind of trauma, or difficulty you are going to have, or did have in the past.

I have had a recurring nightmare twice that I know of. It was worse the second time. One of my sons almost dies in my nightmare. He’s caught by a fireman type net in the air by men in what reminds me of a hot air balloon. When he’s caught though, it seems like he’s drowning. His lungs are full of fluid. They get him to breathe again, but by then I’m already waking up in full panic mode. I wake up crying, shaking, and with horrible images stuck in my mind. How do I find out what this means?… Read more »

I just had an ongoing dream the other night about cockroaches. I was in a motel room and all of a sudden they came out of the heat vents. Hundreds. So weird. I woke up and then went back to sleep, and the same dream continued
Scary dream. The motel might in fact be related to feelings of getting away from pressures (short rests), demands and duties that you face at home or work. Cockroaches are considered very negtative symbols that might be negative thoughts, hidden things that torment you, pressure (heat vents).
