Dreams Made of Cheese

A dream about cheese signifies profit or gain. Maybe you’re like me and you just like cheese

Wacky dreaming runs in my family. My mom and I have an ongoing competition for whose dreams are the craziest.

That’s why I love dream interpretation. Sometimes it makes sense but other times it’s like a poorly translated fortune: A dream about cheese signifies profit or gain. Maybe you’re like me and you just like cheese.

You know that 1980s song “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)”? According to a Spotify poll, lots of people think it’s “sweet dreams are made of cheese.” Profit is sweet, right? Maybe the Eurythmics should change their lyrics.

To find the meaning behind any dream, from acorns to zombies, consult “12,000 Dreams Interpreted” by Gustavus Hindman Miller. For the most common dream meanings, according to Miller and other experts, read on.

Falling. Helplessness, or an indication of major life problems.

Being chased. Stress and difficult life events or, conversely, the need to face a problem head-on.

Teeth falling out. Usually insecurity or a lack of confidence.

Taking a test. Stress, anxiety or fear of failure.

Naked in public. Vulnerability or embarrassment.

In addition to dream interpretation, some experts focus on dream influencing. Check out “The Art of Dreaming” by Jill Mellick or “A Field Guide to Lucid Dreaming” by Dylan Tuccillo.

Or eat cheese before bed. A study by the British Cheese Board found that cheese may affect your dreams. For celebrity dreams, try cheddar. For bizarre dreams, eat blue cheese. If you dream about cheese after eating cheese, well, you already know what that means. More money for you!
