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.
The UK supposedly dreams most about teeth falling out, which apparently can mean you’ve been feeling anxious or stressed.
The USA, Canada and Australia also both had lots of toothless dreams, but the most common dream around the world concerned snakes. The slithery creatures 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) and falling into water (South Korea).
Other countries ranked with slightly more positive subjects. Iceland apparently dreams a lot about snow (obvs), Greece about hats, Ethiopia about shoes, Bhutan about rainbows Lots of others dreamt about marriage, as well as money and cutting hair. Here’s a map of the world (including the most common dream for every country):
