New Research Revealed What Canadians Dream About The Most & It's Honestly So Relatable
There's an explanation for your dreams, too! 💤
An unmade bed.
New research has uncovered the most common thing Canadians are dreaming about when they're asleep at night and it's honestly super relatable.
Using Google search data, bedding company Secret Linen Store found that the most common thing to dream about in Canada is your teeth falling out.
So, if you've woken up in a cold sweat after thinking you were going to need dentures, you're apparently not alone!
This is also the most common dream for sleepers in nine other countries around the world, including Ireland, New Zealand, Somalia and Madagascar.
But what does it mean? According to Healthline, an interpretation of a dream where all your teeth fall out could be personal loss, whether of a loved one, a home or a job.
It can also apparently be a product of anxiety or stress. "Anxiety can make you worry about something going wrong at an extreme level, hence your teeth falling out," says Healthline.
There are other interpretations for it too, such as worries about health, your actual teeth or even religious beliefs.
In the U.S., the most common thing to dream about while sleeping is infidelity, something the country shares with as many as 10 other countries.
However, the most recurrent subject of dreams around the world is dogs. Dreams involving dogs were the most common in 19 countries, with Morocco, Libya, Egypt, Czechia and more having the most.
Other common dreams include those about fish, mice, gardening, travelling and being pregnant.
Of course, there were also some topics that were unique to certain regions. For example, India is one of the only countries where the most common dream subject is elephants.
So, how was this all determined? Not through some futuristic world dream machine, but through Google search data. Secret Linen considered keyword searches related to dreams for nearly every country in the world to figure out the most common dreams that are being looked up.
Whether you'll be dreaming about your teeth, dogs or anything in between, happy snoozing!
