If you hit snooze too many times this morning, you’re living out one of most common nightmares. A poll for Halloween looked at the most common nightmares we have. And waking up late made the Top 10 . . .
1. Falling. 65% have had a nightmare about falling from a significant height.
2. Being chased, 63%
3. Dying, 55%
4. Feeling lost, 54%
5. Feeling trapped, 52%
6. Being attacked, 50%
7. Missing an important event, 44%
8. Waking up late, 43%
9. A loved one passing away, 36%
10. Being injured, 35%
A third of us have also had a bad dream about our teeth falling out. And around one in four have had a nightmare about their spouse leaving them.
Some of the less-common ones are fun: 14% have had nightmares about car trouble, 12% have had a dream where they couldn’t find their car, 7% have had a bad dream about a tech malfunction, and 5% have had a nightmare about going bald.
