Have you ever had a dream that felt so real, that when you woke up you weren’t sure if you were actually waking up or if you were still dreaming?

When you’ve finally sorted it out that you are now awake and that was all a dream do you ever wonder what that dream could have meant and why you were having it? Well, let’s talk about some of the common things that come up in dreams. Maybe the next time you wake up from a dream that felt all too real this will help you figure it out!

Mind you that I'm not a professional and that dreams are always up for interpretation because not everyone is the same and not everyone will be dreaming about these things for the same reasons but the following are all things that a friend of mine and I have figured out.

Starting with abandonment: this means that you are holding on to feelings and characteristics that are making it hard for you to continue to grow as a person. Another thing that abandonment could mean is that you fear being deserted or betrayed. If you just lost a loved one or are expecting to lose a loved one soon this could be why you are having a dream about being abandoned.

Abduction in your dream could mean that you are being manipulated either by a circumstance or by a person in your life. If you have a dream about being abducted try and figure out what part of your life you don’t have control over and try to get control of it again.

If you dream that you are an accomplice to a crime it suggests that you have someone in your life that is only negatively affecting you. Maybe it’s time to figure out who and cut them out of your life.

If you come across an acquaintance in your dream it just means that aspects of yourself still need you to come around to them or that you need to spend more time getting to know yourself.

Amnesia suggests that you are trying to block out a negative aspect of yourself or your life.

Ever had a dream in which you are entering a place from the back door and not the front door? Do you have a problem in your life that you have been trying to find an answer or solution to? Search a little harder and stop thinking about things that are obvious and you will come across your answer or solution.

Dreaming of being on campus means that you need to expand your thinking and challenge yourself mentally.

If you are dancing in your dream that means that you have freedom from any constraints and restrictions in your life.

To dream that you are falling means that you are not frightened and that you will overcome your adversities.

To see a fictional character means that you are trying to escape from your own reality.

To dream that you are taking out the trash means that you are kicking your negative habits. Yay, go you!

Almost anything that you can think of can pop up in a dream and everything has a meaning. If you ever wake up and think that dream was crazy and you thought it was real at first just do a google search and maybe that can help you figure out what that crazy dream you had the other night was all about.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
