Last night, I had not one but two dreams in a row that I swear I had already had years ago.
1: I was starring in a Criss Angel film as Criss Angel himself and doing some act high up in the air. I resemble Criss Angel zero percent, nor can I achieve his mannerisms.
2: I was lost in a vast auditorium setting while a show was going on. I had gotten up to do something, and when I went to find my seat again, I lost my way and kept walking around aimlessly.
Yes but not really? I’m really struggling to remember my dreams, but I have a recurring dream of not having any balance but acting as if everything is ok. It’s a dream I had a lot as a kid, and then started having it once every few years.
I often have a lot of dreams in what feels like the same location in specific periods of my life. Now I think it’s a mega city I don’t know but I’m kind of familiar with, probably because I’m moving to a new city in a couple of months (but it’s actually a smaller city than the one I live in right now)
Perhaps it’s an omen?
I don’t believe in omens (or anything “magic” or “paranormal”) as they’re usually intended, but surely my brain is saying something.
I don’t know what dream you’re referring to, but if it’s the one about balance I’m sure that’s a pretty straightforward metaphor of my childhood since my parents were divorced and I moved a lot between their respective homes while never manifesting my malaise. So I felt without balance while acting normal.
The one I’m having right now… I don’t know. Surely I’m afraid about a new city, and the dreams all have this weird atmosphere that isn’t happy but neither of fear or discomfort (now that I think about it, it’s similar to how I felt whenever I changed school, so a weird mix of optimism and worry of novelty). I can’t quite explain the big city, but maybe it’s just how big the challenge feels. I also remember the last one being about finding landmarks (some kind of skyscrapers), and I was moving to Seoul with my girlfriend (we’re moving together and she’s been to Seoul for three months for university last year).
Dreams are weird, but so freaking cool
Yes. Many years ago I had this recurring dream of hiking around a huge autumnal mountain. I never saw any people. Just me alone walking around and peacefully enjoying nature. Though now that I think about it, it felt as if i was searching for something…
Recently my recurring dream is of me visiting a little thrift shop that is located in the town near my childhood home. This place randomly inserts itself into any other dream on occasion. Generally if a dream involves travel with a vehicle, I’m somewhat more likely to end up at the Thrift Shop. It isn’t a real location by any means, but feels like a place I’ve always known somehow. I go in and browse through the nick nacks and whatnot but never buy anything. The layout is never the same as the last visit. Sometimes the shelves are more maze like. Other times the shelves really only line the outer walls and there’s more empty space. The interior feels like it could’ve been somebody’s home at some point. Definitely not a sterilized corporate space.
Behind the register is a doorway. It’s always at least slightly ajar if not completely open. Most times thinking about going in there gives off a feeling that I’m not allowed to do so. I’ve gone in there maybe just twice. One time it was a pitch dark public restroom. I felt an encroaching terror as I wandered blindly before the dream ended. From my most recent visit, I was given permission to go through the strange doorway. I could see a stairway going down that took me to like an early 2000s condo/loft type area with white walls and off-white flooring that split off into different rooms of a mostly empty home. One such room had a window viewing an empty shopping mall bathed in blueish light. I stared out at it wistfully for a while. I carried on exploring but nothing eventful occurred after this.
I don’t really know what it means, but I find comfort in returning to a familiar place in the midst of my often chaotic and nonsensical dreamscapes. I’ve visited the Thrift Shop maybe about five or six times now over the course of 1.5 years I want to say. It’s always a pleasant surprise to be back there and I’m looking forward to my next visit.
I frequently have repeats. Also recycled events and locations but with different characters.
The locations and events are not from actual places I know either. One is a huge mountain side resort space on the side of a mountain. It’s large and spacious like a mall or event center. But it’s late at night. The reason why differs and the characters differ but we need to escape this place. There’s a big observation tower where somthing happens but they all end up in an suv. Then there’s always a long scene of just being in the back of the suv as it drives through the woods.
Weirdly last time I was in this place there was no real reason to escape it. Nothing was going on at all. But the characters where all panicking to get out. This made things even more weird.
I’ve also had the small trailer home that’s a gaingantic old house (tardis style kind of) with bedrooms in weird places.
Many other places I am probably forgetting.
I’ve never been to a resort like this nor have I been in a trailer home
I wonder though if I had really had these dreams before or if I just have a false memory of then after the fact. Like Deja-vu.
