The Daily Mail (UK) recently published an intriguing study on the common nightmares across various cultures worldwide. Based on search data provided by Google, the research team highlighted unique nightmares from around the globe. The results indicate that each country has its own specific fears.
In the UK, bees frequently appear as a symbol in nightmares. According to Psych News Daily, bees in dreams may represent “hive mentality,” indicating that the dreamer is haunted by their responsibilities to the collective (such as their company, school, or family). They may feel anxious and isolated in society, bringing these fears into their dreams.
