Missing a body part in the dream realm often refers to loss in reality. In most cases, it sheds light on the loss of a loved one whose presence was once an integral part of your existence.

All you can do is reflect on the good times you shared together and tell others about their legacy so their story never dies.

Water in dreams is closely related to emotions as well as consciousness in general. Seeing your body filling up with water in your dream likely predicts a possible emotional breakdown. You may be suppressing a lot of negative emotions and a lack of outlet is making all those feelings pile up inside of you.

You may need to calm yourself down and reduce the stress in your day-to-day life in order to avoid making regrettable decisions.

In general, clear and calm rivers in dreams denote a laid-back attitude or even passivity. You could be content to go with the flow of things and not let every little setback get on your nerves. Serene and tranquil rivers are also indicative of the good aura which would emanate from you as a result of your positive worldview. The imagery of the river washing away someone in this vision could mean that you are willing to let bygones be bygones. This new outlook you have probably makes it easier for you to forgive some individuals who may have wronged you in the past. Alternatively, this vision also shows that you are loosening up. Perhaps you prefer being in control and being a perfectionist, so something could trigger a realization in you that you cannot control everything and that in certain instances you just have to adapt according to the situation.

Dreaming of medical exams or procedures typically reflects the dreamer's real-world anxieties about their well-being.

Maybe you have been ignoring or neglecting your health lately and your subconscious is reminding you to take preventive action to avoid further complications.

Having your period in the dream world is often associated with worries or concerns that have manifested in waking life. Because this was your first period, it seems likely that this is a new issue that has only come about recently. Your reticence to tell anyone reflects much the same in reality, namely that you either do not like to rely on others or you are afraid of bothering those around you. It may be helpful, however, to allow others to share their experiences and knowledge with you so that you do not repeat their mistakes.

The snakes in the water reveal your dissatisfaction about the current flow of your existence. Perhaps you dream of a better circumstance or lifestyle that you could be living and this makes your deeply disappointed. Unfortunately, the body floating in the water represents your passivity. You may not be doing anything proactive to change your situation. As such, your attitude and lack of initiative would further contribute to the dissatisfaction and stagnation you could be feeling at the moment.

Dreaming that worms are coming out from different orifices of the body reveals suppressed feelings and buried issues. Perhaps you have been holding in some secrets or neglecting to address certain issues, so your subconscious mind is looking for catharsis. In addition, pulling out worms from your rear or bottom points to the possibility of alienating your loved ones because of your control issues. You may tend to put on a wall between you and others in an attempt to keep your secrets safe. However, there is no shame in being vulnerable as long as it is with someone you trust.

Skyscrapers, like the Empire State Building in your dream vision, usually refers to ambition. You likely have big dreams and big plans for your professional advancement which is why you went back to school. Pursuing your passions can sometimes push you to take a leap of faith and this is represented by the bungee jumping scenario which symbolizes taking risks and being resilient. You would have to face your fears and be placed in situations when you have to act fast using your stock knowledge. You would make mistakes, but the challenge is to bounce back and learn from those mistakes instead of giving up. Perhaps this also reveals your fears about messing up, especially in your chosen field of healthcare industry when you are placed in situations when your actions can either extend or further endanger a person's life. This fear is further illustrated by the headless or decapitated body. It signifies negative consequences of poor judgment. So while risk-taking can pay off, it can also backfire if you are too reckless or too hasty. As such, your subconscious may be telling you to take calculated risks, weigh the pros and cons before making crucial decisions. Your ability to make level-headed decisions under pressure could propel you to success. Finally, the presence of your good friend likely reveals your implicit trust in her. She may be short-sighted sometimes or you may have some disagreements, but at the end of the day whenever you need someone to lean on, she gives you the support and enables you to believe in yourself when the going gets tough. The part about the puzzles could indicate your different point of views and personalities. You may be the more ambitious one and she is the more cautious between the two of you. You balance each other out especially when one of you becomes irrational or is not thinking straight.

Dreaming that your body is too heavy to move even while your mind is alert and active suggests you currently hold two ideas or beliefs that are opposed to each other. In a sense, your body is weighed down by the irrational, opposing thoughts that cloud your mind. This type of vision is commonly seen when someone thinks a certain action is fine for them but not for everyone else. For example, if you drive over the speed limit because you are late for an event it is justifiable, but if someone else is speeding then they are a bad driver. This vision should be taken as a sign that you need to re-evaluate some of your notions and maintain a more rational, open-minded point of view.

Experiencing a vision that someone's body is on top of you in a dream is indicative of stagnation. You are probably feeling an overwhelming burden or you would go through a difficult to handle circumstance shortly. Fortunately, you would overcome or avoid any adverse consequences that such events could create for you. The symbol of feeling dragged out from your bed means that you need to leave behind things or people that do not fit in your lifestyle any longer. The sense that someone or something is dragging you out of your bed is connected to your realization about your real values and beliefs. Until now, you may have been ignoring and excluding them from your everyday life.
