Why we dream we're falling: common dreams explained

I'm not really sure that I buy the idea that someone can "interpret" another person's dream, or that there are common dream symbols. After all, we all have our own unique perspectives. For instance, I love dogs. So when I dream about a dog, the interpretation would likely be very different from a person who's has dog-infused nightmares.
Nevertheless, I found this article on the five most common dreams interesting. The idea behind the article is that we should pay attention to our dreams, because they usually tell us something about our waking lives. For example, if you've been avoiding a necessary conversation or are avoiding responsibility, or if you're depressed, you may dream that you are falling. And if you dream that your teeth are falling out, it may be that you've been gossiping just a little too often. By paying attention to themes in your dreams, you may be able to solve conflicts in your daily life.
Want to keep track of your dreams? Dream experts say you should write them down immediately upon waking (they're stored in the same part of your brain as short-term memory) and try to figure out what the main conflict is. Finally, give your dream it's own movie title to help you decipher just what your subconscious is trying to tell you.
