Dreams have fascinated humanity for centuries, and we still don’t have the answer when it comes to what a lot of our dream-topics mean.
And whilst some dreams can provide an insight into unlocking our deepest emotions and desires, others seem to have very little meaning at all…

So let’s delve into the mystery figures and nightmarish events, with 7 prompts you can ask ChatGPT designed to help demystify the secrets of your dreams.

1) The recurring figure
Have you ever encountered a familiar face in your dreams, a recurring character who seems to hold significance?
These dream figures can leave you pondering their meaning, especially if they show up time and time again.
Try this prompt to delve deeper into what their presence might mean for you:
- “I’ve noticed a recurring character in my dreams. [Describe the person, their relationship to you (if you recognize them), and what you think their presence signifies.] What might this mean?”
ChatGPT might be able to provide some valuable insights into the symbolism and significance of these recurring dream figures.
Whether it’s a long-lost friend or a mysterious stranger, the answers might surprise you…
2) You keep falling down, down, down…
The feeling of falling within a dream can range from exhilarating to disconcerting, and is a common experience amongst many dreamers.
To explore this phenomenon if it applies to you, use this prompt:
- “I frequently experience dreams of falling. [Describe the sensation and emotions evoked by these dreams and the feeling of falling]. What might this mean?”
It may not have an indisputable answer, but ChatGPT can help you comprehend the emotional impact of these dreams and help you work through the emotions (particularly if they’re fearful ones).
Plus, you can better assess whether you’re gracefully descending from the stars or plummeting from the sky (which are two very different experiences!)
3) Death awaits (and then you wake up)
Dreams that feature your own death can be profoundly unsettling, as pleasant as it is to wake up…still alive.
If you find the afterworld is a recurring element in your dreams, try out this prompt:
- “I often dream about my own death. [Share how your dream encounters with death occur and the emotions they provoke]. What might this mean or symbolize for my life?”
ChatGPT can help you interpret the symbolism and meaning behind these dreams, or at least help put your mind at ease if the presence of death during your sleeping hours is starting to worry you.
And whether you find yourself facing mythical creatures or exploring the afterlife, better understanding the significance of these dream deaths can take a weight off your shoulders

4) Lucid dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows you to take control of your dreams, shaping them according to your desires.
(If you’ve ever seen Inception, you know what I mean.)
It’s like real-life video gaming. But in your sleep.
Whether you’re a lucid dreamer already or want to try and test out the methods used to initiate lucid dreaming, try out this prompt:
- “Can you provide techniques to help me start lucid dreaming? What does lucid dreaming feel like, and how far can I control my own dreams?”
5) Spiders/Clowns/Sharks – your nightmare of choice
While nightmares can be distressing, they also offer opportunities for self-discovery.
Challenge your fears when you next have a distressing nightmare with this prompt:
- “[Describe a particularly intense nightmare with details of events and figures. Include how the nightmare made you feel upon waking]. What might this nightmare mean?”
By delving into the emotional impact of your nightmares, ChatGPT can help you distinguish the fine line your own mind draws between fear and imagination.
Who knows – it might allow you to better understand your deepest anxieties and their sources, and then start developing better coping mechanisms.
6) Dreamy romantic encounters
Falling in love within a dream can be an enchanting experience, often feeling incredibly real.
Which sucks when you wake up and realize Prince Charming isn’t lying next to you.
Only your lazy old cat, snoring softly.
If you do find yourself swooning and falling head over heels in your dreams, ask ChatGPT what this might mean:
- “[Describe your dream, who you fell in love with or felt feelings for, and how the story unfolded. Describe how you felt upon waking]. What might this dream narrative mean for my real life?”
Now, with ChatGPT’s assistance, you might uncover some aspects you’ve not yet considered.
Maybe that you’re ready to date again, or that you’re unhappy with your current partner, or that the steamy soap series you watched last night is still on your mind…
7) Eeek…why is my ex in my dream?!
Dreams occasionally lead to encounters with figures from the past, such as meeting an ex-partner.
These dreams can evoke complex emotions and memories, especially when you’re not thinking of this person whilst you’re awake.
Reflect on the dream with this prompt:
- “I recently dreamt of meeting [describe your ex, your relationship, and how things ended]. It brought back memories and feelings such as [describe your emotions here]. Can you help me understand why I dreamt of my ex and what this means?”

Dreams don’t have to mean it’s time to get back with your ex.
Especially if you don’t want to.
But who knows – maybe they’re thinking of you, or there’s some unresolved closure you require to move on.
Use ChatGPT as the tool that it is to gain insight, and then start doing the necessary work for yourself.
Does ChatGPT have all the dream answers?
Now, ChatGPT can offer insights into your dreams, certain recurring elements, and the emotions it may have triggered within you.
Between this mix of AI and your own self-reflection, you can better navigate the complexities of what’s going on whilst you slumber.
Dreams are a window into the subconscious, where our deepest fears, desires, and emotions reside.
But no one fully has the answers when it comes to dreaming and what certain dreams means. Not ChatGPT, nor Freud.
