To wonder about recurring dreams ?

[spiderpig8]

Over the last 20 or so years I have had a few recurring dreams

1Living in a house which is full of the previous owners posessions-loads and loads or ornaments ,drawers full of their clothes

2 Rolling backwards slowly in a car and desperately trying to brake before car hits a parked car.

3 Being too bright to open my eyes properly

4 Having to use very dirty, very public toilets

I wonder what they mean.Does anyone else have any recurring themes in dreams

Ooh.

• A few times I have dreamt about a man who I had a bit of a problem with when I was quite young. I'm trapped with him but I manage to escape. Then I'm off doing something else (completely random like looking round a bookshop or sitting on a beach) then I get this feeling, and I turn round and he's standing there silently. I also had a dream about him once that I was in hospital, and the nurses said 'The doctor needs to take some blood from you' and the doctor was him and he slashed my arm open.

• Another one is I'm having a baby in hospital, but there's no pain, and everyone disappears. When I get up and look around the hospital it's completely empty (have not had a baby yet)

• In my dream I wake up and start my day, but nothing is in the right place and it's frustrating. Then I have to really wake up and get ready etc.

• I suddenly realise I have to be somewhere but I am in a different country or whatever and can't get there

Most recurring dreams are anxiety-based. If you think about when you have them, it's usually during times of stress.

Haven't had one in ages, but I used to get one all the time where I was at my nan's house (only, in the grand traditions of dreams it was rather different) and spent large amounts of time going through a tunnel to visit my cousin.

Otherwise, I tend to have a dream and while I'm having the dream know I've had the dream before and therefore know what will happen next, only it works out ever so slightly different because I'm 'playing the part' as opposed to reacting naturally. They don't happen very often, but when they do they leave me very confused when I wake up, trying to remember whether or not I actually have had that one more than once.

I'm with you on wondering what on earth they mean though. A lot of my dreams are very theatrical, but otherwise completely confusing and nonsensical.

i used to get one as a kid where i was crossing the road and a car would hit me, and then when i was on the floor trying to drag myself to the other side of the road, other cars would keep runnung over my legs as if they couldn't see me.

obviously that is running and shudders.

I used to have one when i was a small child where my sister brother and cousins would all be jumping off the balcony they would all get to the bottom run up stairs and do it again, but every time i jumped i never got to the bottom but just seemed to hover there and then be trying to jump with them again.

I have a lot of recurring dreams which have always stuck in my mind.

The nicest one being walking through a tunnel kind of like an underpass/air raid shelter and finally getting to the end. Always waiting was an old lady who would hug me and tell me all would be ok now.
I was telling my mum and nan about this dream once and they both went silent, so i laughed and asked what was wrong. My nan said "you just described my mum" she then showed me the only photo she had of her and it was the lady in my dreams. I should explain this dream started after I got attacked and went on until sentencing.

ahh. lady that's spooky but quite comforting.

it was very spooky i used to wake up with a shiver once i was told who the person i had been dreaming about was/sounded like.Especially as i had never met her!

But perhaps you'd been shown a photo of her before, even if you can't consciously remember.

I've had the public toilets one spider pig.
