4. Feeling Trapped
There are many variations on this common dream, or perhaps the word nightmare would be more appropriate in a lot of cases. Being trapped in a room with no windows or doors is not uncommon, and dreaming of being trapped in a box or coffin is likely even worse, especially if you have claustrophobia! Not surprisingly, these dreams can be an indicator that a person is feeling trapped in some way in real life. These dreams also may be triggered by a significant loss or unresolved issues from the past.
