If I see a particular person in my dream, I start missing that person very badly. For two or three days, I intensely think about the person. Is this normal?

If the person is close to you then such a reaction can occur. But if such strong feelings are being evoked on dreaming about a mere acquaintance then you must consult a psychiatrist.

I am 17 years old. For the past few months, I see myself riding a motor cycle on a road leading to darkness. The darkness becomes denser and suddenly my bike stops. I start screaming but in vain. There is no one around to help me.

The dream reflects guilt. Going towards darkness portrays wrong action and the outcome of which will lead to darkness. You are aware of the outcome yet you continue to tread on the wrong path. You even know that in the end nobody is going to support you or forgive you.

We have shifted to our new house which is very beautiful. Everyday I dream that my family and I have shifted to some other house which is in a bad condition, and we all are unhappy there. This dream frightens me as with a lot of difficulty we have shifted to our new home.

New found happiness is always precious. Since you have had to go through hard times before shifting to your new home, you are experiencing insecurity. It will go with time.

I am 15 years old. I have recently finished my tenth standard. I dreamt that I topped in the board exams but there was no one to congratulate me.

Komal Sakhuja, Ludhiana

The dream depicts a conflict between your hopes and perception of reality. Like any other student you desire to top, but you are not confident of yourself. The absence of family and friends to laud your efforts belies the earlier part of the dream.

I am a student of B.Sc second year. I often dream of men following me, while I run to escape them. Sometimes I even start flying in order to get away from them. I always manage to escape.

Sonia, Ludhiana

You seem insecure. Do you entertain a lot of ‘filmi’ thoughts. Maintain a good rapport with people but at the same time maintain your distance from them.
