This guide to the world of dreams classifies a dream in which a person experiences a fright as a negative one. If you go by its interpretation, experiencing fear in a dream means experiencing disappointment in reality. It is possible that the dreamer will experience loss; he will lose what is dear to him.
Night dreams are also not uncommon, in which the sleeper observes the fear that other people experience. Such a dream promises trouble for the dreamer’s friends or relatives, and what happened to them will become a cause for great anxiety for him. If in night vision a person does not want to continue the work he has started, fearing failure, he should prepare for failure in real life. If fear in a dream prevents its owner from going on a trip, in reality it is worth avoiding long trips for some time. There is also a possibility car accidents, so you should be careful while driving.
Miller's Dream Book
What does it mean to experience a feeling of fear in a dream, if you rely on the opinion of a famous psychologist? Miller claims that fear in dreams is experienced by those who in real life suffer from a lack of intense sensations. It is possible that the time has come to forget about the daily routine and go on a trip. The trip will allow you to acquire pleasant memories that will help you forget about depression for a long time.
Miller offers dreamers another solution to the problem, which will require less effort. Do you need to expand your range of interests, introduce a new hobby into your life that can captivate the owner with fear in addition to the above? It is possible that the dreamer should begin to fight his suspiciousness, which poisons his soul, forcing him to suspect those who treat him kindly of bad intentions.
Esoteric dream book
What if a person should be afraid in a dream, but the emerging threat does not make any impression on him? Esoteric dream book claims that in reality the dreamer will face a difficult exam, which he will pass brilliantly. The test can be related to different areas of life, most likely it concerns professional activities.
Are there any reasons for alarm if a person manages to suppress the feeling of fear in a dream, decide to take an action that frightens him, or turn his face to danger? No, because night dreams with a similar plot promise victory over enemies. If there are no ill-wishers in the dreamer’s life, the dream can predict a successful fight against his own shortcomings. Also, don’t rule out parting with bad habits, which the owner of the dream has long dreamed of getting rid of.
Dream Interpretation Maya
Why do you dream of fear, if you rely on the interpretation offered by the Mayan dream book? Representatives of this ancient civilization there was no doubt that those who successfully get rid of a heavy burden in reality can be frightened in their night dreams. The burden can be different, for example, responsibilities imposed on the dreamer by someone against his will. There is a high probability of reconciliation with childhood friends, relationships with whom were once destroyed because of a trifle.
Interestingly, the compilers of this ancient guide to the world of dreams offer readers ways to do this. To do this, you just need to refrain from communicating with anyone until breakfast.
Fear of heights
The dreamer can experience this when he finds himself at a high altitude. In this case, a person is afraid of falling, even if heights do not scare him in real life. Guides to the world of dreams claim that in reality the owner of the dream feels uncomfortable at the peak that he managed to conquer. We can talk, for example, about new position, a love affair with someone whom the dreamer secretly considers too beautiful (smart, rich).
In addition, the dream may signal that its owner may take more high position in society, but is afraid to take decisive action because he expects failure. If he is terrified of falling, one of his friends and relatives in reality needs help.
Health and fear

First of all, the owner of night dreams must make sure that he does not have cardiovascular diseases.

Also, a person who has to be afraid in a dream should pay attention to his emotional state. There is a high probability that he is on the verge of depression, which is caused by his indifference to his own needs and requirements. In this case, the dreamer would benefit from a dose of healthy egoism; he should develop the ability to refuse others, having noticed their consumerist attitude towards himself.
Scream in fear
Not every person who has experienced fear in a dream remembers himself screaming in horror. If such a detail nevertheless surfaces in your memory, you should be wary. It is possible that soon an intractable problem will appear in real life, which the owner of the dream will not be able to cope with unless friends and relatives help him.
Dreams are something that not a single person has passed by. Sigmund Freud once said: “Dreams are images of subconscious desires that a person cannot fulfill in reality.” Scientists from all countries claim that if a person sees dreams, he sleeps very restlessly, and if there are no dreams, he sleeps soundly and healthy. Whether this is true or not, no one can say for sure, but it is a fact that fear is a dream for a reason.
Quite an unpleasant feeling, especially in a dream. You wake up scared, with mad heartbeat, and even if you don’t remember the dream, the fear remains.
