Have you ever dreamed you were falling? If so, you're in good company. Falling, and being on the verge of falling, are two of the most prevalent dreams, say experts. Others are: Being chased or pursued, having sex, arriving late and anything to do with school. Researchers report that dreams are a treasure trove of information about our inner thoughts and the people in our lives. Psychologists use dreams to help their clients resolve problems by "sleeping on it." The following are some of the most common themes of dreams and what they mean:

• Angels -- Important messages from the subconscious that should be given serious attention.
