A UK bedroom furnishings vendor conducted a survey to see what is the most common dream element or trope in each country.

Mapped: the most common dream in every country in the world

If you’ve ever wondered whether people around the world dream like you do, you’re in luck. A new study by bed guide mornings.co.uk (yes, that’s a thing) has unveiled what the most common dream is in every country. By translating the word ‘dream’ into every language and then analysing Google search data, the study revealed countries’ most commonly searched dream subjects. ...

Looking at the results, it’s safe to say that dreams can say a lot about a country’s psyche. The UK, for example, supposedly dreams most about teeth falling out, which apparently can mean you’ve been feeling anxious or stressed. Which, to be honest, probably feels about right.

The USA, Canada and Australia also both had lots of toothless dreams, but the most common dream around the world concerned snakes. The slithery bastards featured as the most common dream in more than a third of all countries, from Brazil and India to Kazakhstan and Egypt. Other animal-based dreams featured mice, lice, doves, squirrels and fish.

While animals featured a lot in the study, there were plenty of other popular subjects. These included ex-relationships (Japan, Togo, Madagascar), falling into water (South Korea), being cheated on (Andorra) and the dead (Costa Rica, Hungary). ...

Here is the vendor's / study sponsor's own blog page about the survey. It provides the same map infographic found in link above as well as charts and access to the summary of nation-by-nation dream trope incidence data they collected.

The Most Common Dream in Every Country

Dream interpretation is big business because dreams are so mysterious and personal that we can’t help but search them for doom or hope. Your dream life is a one-person spiritual universe.

On the other hand, dream motifs recur from person to person and across cultures. Our dreams are shaped – in part, anyway – by our surroundings. So, if everyone in your country dreams of monkeys, it doesn’t mean 63 will come up on the National Lottery – but there’s a good chance you live in a country where monkeys are common.

Mornings.co.uk was curious which dreams were most common in different countries around the world. So, we analysed Google search data to see which dream symbols every country is searching for. And then we looked at what the most common dreams might mean. Scroll on to see what we found. ...

Our world map, below, shows the most commonly Google-searched dream in every country where data was available. ...

My most common dream for years was buying a new house and finding hidden rooms full of cool stuff like antique furniture and I remember once opening the fridge and it was packed with fresh fruits and vegetables.
