    As I understand the caption, this is actually the most commonly googled dream type. I’d expect this is not actually the most common dream type per country, because the most common experiences aren’t worth investigating.

    maybe it’s more like “type of dream that most commonly confuses and disturbs people in a given culture”.

      Exactly.

      If I dream of sex, I know what that’s about: I want sex.

      If I dream that a snake has caused my teeth to fall out, I’m going to google to find out what the fuck is wrong with me.

      Two that stand out: highly religious Nigeria, where people who dream of sex are googling what is wrong with them, and highly irreligious France, where people who dream about an ex are googling what is wrong with them.
