My Dream Interpretation

by myjellybean
If you dream that you and/or your surroundings are spinning, you are feeling overwhelmed and out of control. Your plans may be filled with complications and you are probably having strong anxieties about schoolwork or a social situation. Sometimes this dream can also refer to a sudden passionate attraction to a new acquaintance.
