I told her that was the most common dream scenario across the board and then asked her more questions about her recent career change, because it was obvious she was nervous about it. Today I came across this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dailyinfographic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/most-common-dreams.jpg?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">infograph showing the most common dreams by country<\/a>\u00a0and realized I was partially right \u2014 the most googled dream in the world is about snakes, and the second being teeth falling out.

In Bhutan, they dream of rainbows often. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best hair gel<\/strong><br \/>\nIf I don\u2019t gel my hair after washing it, it lays flat and resembles the hair style of Moe Howard or Captain Kangaroo.
