Ever have a recurring dream?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

When I was younger I used to dream about Ireland even though I had never been there. And then I used to dream about towers and I was terrified of them. But since I grew up, I no longer have those dreams.
Anyone else, or am I just straaaaaange....

2. It is said that children have dreams about their past life( lives ) .

( Adults dream about past lives as well ) so maybe you lived there in a past time - that's if you believe in this kind of stuff .

6. Well, here's the freaky stuff...

I dreamed about Ireland all of my life but was not Irish nor did I have any Irish friends or family. But I ended up marrying two Irish guys. And I dreamed about both of them.

8. Did you marry them in real life ? Or in the dream ?

Sorry for my confusion lol . And if you did marry them in real life , did you dream about them before you met them ?

11. I married them both in real life...

When I was a kid I dreamed about someone named Daniel, and I married a Daniel. And we were divorced seventeen years later. But I saw his tombstone. Then I married a "Jim" and somehow I felt that there was a rivalry between Daniel and Jim. Daniel is still alive in another state and Jim and I have been married twenty years. All very strange.

P.S. Yes, that makes me very old.

14. All very cool !

;) You are not old . Old is a feeling of people who want sympathy I say . My grandmother is 73 and she is younger than the lazy HS kids I see complaining :)

3. Not so mucha recurring dream

But I have a recurring theme sometimes that I float uncontrollably through the air. It's weird.

4. Yes, and it involved monsters, a creepy town,

and a piece of oxen tether...if anyone can tell me if there is actually such a thing as oxen tether :shrug: I'd appreciate it.

5. Keep dreaming lately about going into religious goods stores

and trying to buy statues of saints, which either disappear or morph into different objects. A little spooky sometimes, but very frustrating!

7. When I was a kid

I would have this dream that I was walking in front of my house and there was this huge hole in the sidewalk and even though I knew it was there I would fall in and then I would wake up wondering if I was in China. I dreamed this hundreds and hundreds of times.

9. Do you feel any other connection to China?

In pictures or movies or language? Just curious.

13. Recurring dreams and nightmares

1. Walking on Mars - very cool.
2. Witnessing a plane crash - I've had this on for at least 20 years
3. Shuttle explodes on pad - Early 80's
4. Nuclear attack - I really hate that one - think "Miracle Mile"
5. Traveling across the country - on foot.
6. The usual school nightmares

15. Did you ever try journaling your dreams?

I had a spiritual director who suggested I do just that - write down the dreams as soon as I woke up. Now, looking back years later, I can sort of see what was going on in my mind at the time.

This is especially helpful if you're going through a stressful time.

My recurring dreams are usually visiting the same "place" - my ideal home, a small town that is familiar, a city bridge still under construction, etc... But there's also the recurring "first love" of my life. He shows up from time to time.

16. A few...two are 'outstanding'

1) when I was living alone in Manhattan in an apartment with a long hallway, I frequently dreamed of someone running down that hall to attack me, and me slamming the door on his hand and slicing it with a knife. Fun stuff. Not.

2) in a bad marriage, I dreamed of thermonuclear holocaust (this was in full Technicolor with Sensurround Sound, yet.) I only noticed the absence of the dream several months after I separated from the man. You do the math; I got the sum pretty quickly.

And yeah, I've had the 'tooth crumbling' or 'teeth falling out' dreams, the 'being out in public naked' dreams, but those are your standards. The two above were truly freaky.
