Anyone else here experience recurring dreams? I don’t mean the fairly common ones (falling, nude in public, etc), but your own personal recurring scenarios, events or places?
I frequently dream that I still live in the home I grew up in, and that there is a mall within walking distance that has a movie theatre that shows old movies. That’s not the substance of the dream, it’s just a place that often exists in my dream world.
Frequent scenarios / events in my dreams:
- meeting a celebrity who is nice to and interested in everyone around me (family, friends) but doesn’t give a crap about me. For whatever reason it is almost always Hugh Jackman, Tom Cruise or Ben Affleck. Had this one just last night actually, involving Affleck. Loved my family, became good friends with my brother, but treated me like garbage
- returning to my paternal grandparents’ home, and knowing that there is something evil upstairs. A ghost? Poltergeist? Demon? I don’t know, but it’s always upstairs, and I feel a paralyzing fear as I KNOW it is there. I have had this dream so many times that I questioned my parents to find if they knew of any traumatizing events that happened to me there during my childhood (thinking maybe it was something my conscious mind has forgotten but is still somewhere deep in my brain), but they don’t recall anything
- consistent sexual disappointment. I don’t have sex dreams very often, but when I do they always involve me and whoever my partner in the dream is being interrupted before anything happens. I also frequenty imagine the woman as being my very first crush ever from elementary school, even if that is not who they actually are in the dream. They just have her physical appearance.
- being able to fly, and losing the power gradually throughout the dream. It becomes harder and harder for me to take off, then eventually I can only jump high and far, then only jump and float a bit, and finally I can’t fly at all anymore.
Not sure what any of these mean (if anything).
