we’re counting down our picks for the
top ten common nightmares before we
begin we publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
the most common and scariest nightmares
the ones that terrify us in our sleep
and keep us awake in fear until daylight
number 10 a partner leaving or cheating
at the time it seems completely real you
catch your partner with someone else or
watch as they walk out on you while some
bad dreams deal with the fantastic
others address fears that are much more
grounded in reality because of this they
can be just as disturbing if not more so
do you have a nightmare about the
betrayal of a loved one has the added
sting of being a real possibility in the
waking world such dreams could reflect
insecurities suspicions or feelings of
betrayal in a relationship then again
sometimes our minds just seem to like
messing with us
number 9 drowning you can’t breathe
water rushes into your lungs and things
start to go black drowning is a horrible
way to go and these nightmares give us a
taste of what it might be like when we
dream about drowning it could mean that
we feel suffocated or overwhelmed there
maybe it’s time to invest in some
swimming lessons either way
nightmares about drowning are terrifying
and those feelings of sinking and
helplessness often linger long after
we’ve woken number 8 being late or
missing an important event a test a
meeting a birthday or maybe just a movie
people have nightmares about missing all
of these sometimes these nightmares are
connected to anxieties about a real
appointment in the near future
particularly for people with overloaded
schedules
frankly it’s all too real and that’s
what’s so tense about it these dreams
leave you feeling like you let someone
down or fail to live up to expectations
when you wake up watch out you may want
to check your alarm and calendar just in
case it’s just a rabbit with erased code
number 7 unprepared for or failing a
test pop quiz why do we dream about
failing tests probably because it’s also
a common worry when we’re awake with
real-life consequences is this a test
yes whether it’s a dream about a
surprise testing class or failing
important exams the result is the same
panic next time you find yourself facing
a daunting exam without having studied
beforehand don’t pull the fire alarm
straight away first pinch yourself maybe
with a bit of luck you’ll wake up back
in bed number 6 being trapped we all
feel trapped sometimes in nightmares
these feelings are made concrete you’re
caged in Baibars
walls or even other people in some of
the worst nightmares of this kind you
find yourself trapped in a coffin buried
alive but no matter how desperate you
are to claw your way out there is no way
out
don’t be surprised if you wake up with
the sheets kicked off and all the
pillows on the floor after one of these
while you’re buried under a four heads
worth of sweat and worry
number five dying they say that you
always wake up right before you die
during nightmares but even if that’s
true the feeling that you’re about to
meet your maker doesn’t shake easily
dreams about death are harrowing
experiences reminding us of our very
mortal coil for some reason nightmares
often come up with particularly creative
and even bizarre ways to kill us off
forcing us to face our worst fears some
people think that dreams about death can
also mark new beginnings but most of the
time there are a lot more terrifying
than hopeful number four losing teeth
a smile says it all that might be why we
worry about our teeth so much in dreams
teeth are an important aspect of our
appearance and dreaming that they’re
ruined or falling out may represent
social anxieties or in a more
straightforward interpretation another
reminder that our bodies are not
invincible and we won’t be around
forever
either way the discovery that our grin
is suddenly a mouthful of gums and shame
is far from fun and a surprisingly
widespread theme in nightmares gummy
bears all around
I’ll eat hers if she doesn’t have teeth
number three being naked in public why
does this always happen to me picture it
you’re giving a presentation in class or
at work when you look down and realize
you aren’t wearing pants in fact you’re
not wearing anything at all aside from a
panicked expression hopefully it’s a
nightmare or else you may want to look
for a new school or start filling out
some job applications but even if it
isn’t real nightmares about being naked
in public are distressing too when we’re
naked we’re exposed and at our most
vulnerable so it makes sense that this
nightmare is commonplace
[Applause]
[Music]
number two falling when you think about
it the fear of falling from a great
height is actually pretty reasonable
although dreams tend to add elaborate
and unexpected details to the experience
our fear of heights is instinctual and
makes a lot of sense in many situations
experts believe that the sensation of
falling and dreams is sometimes caused
by hypnic jerks involuntary twitches
while falling asleep that feeling of
falling you get the jolts awake it snaps
you out of the dream other times they
might be triggered by a sense of being
out of control without anything solid
around us to grab onto and still other
times you’re actually falling
number one being chased or attacked it’s
dark you can’t move and someone or
something is coming these nightmares
could be taken as a reflection of your
insecurities in relationships with
friends colleagues and family or maybe
you’re just genuinely afraid that
someone is out to get you whatever the
case we’ve all been there in our sleep
and we’ve all wished we hadn’t the
sensation of being stalked or pursued
often stays with us during the day
especially if we were injured in the
dream making these kinds of nightmares
