I've had a couple of recurring dreams I'd like to share and get some
opinions on. I'd also like to find out what everyone knows about them in
general (ie. commonality, time periods they can span).
The thing about my recurring dreams (there are two that stand out in my
mind) is that while the same actions take place, they always involve
different people. The most vivid one I've had is one in which I am with a
group of friends competing as a team to get through a giant video game. We
aren't pixelated, and neither is the surrounding area, but in the dream, we
know we're in a video game. Every board and every action we took were the
same both times I've had this dream. The first time I had the dream, I was
in high school and the dream involved my classmates. The second time, I was
in college, and it happened with the new set of classmates.
I haven't had the video game dream lately, but I have had another that has
had people from high school, college, and now work... the second time I had
that dream, there were more people from work, and the one or two from high
school were not necessarily people I was close to or anything.
So, any thoughts on my particular dreams? Any thoughts/stats on recurring
dreams in general? Does anyone know if this kind of thing is very
common--either completely the same or with different [insert some aspect]
in the recurrences? Does the different "cast" in each dream disqualify it
as a recurring dream? ____________________ "I've told you before, I don't comprehend religion, although

I am very strongly of the mindset that dreams are neither random nor
fatasy, afterall it is something we experience. If yoo want any kind of
interpritation however, yor going to need to be ALOT more specific,
especially in the latter case. ____________________

When I was a kid, I had a small pond and a rowboat, and I used to always be
out on it. When I was 12, my mom took my brother and I and ran away.
After that, for many years I had recurring dreams of being out in my
rowboat. The specific scenario was always different, even bizarre, but in
every one, I was out on the pond in the moonlight. It was like a driving
need for me in the dream, and I would struggle and fight my way through
whatever obstacles the dream threw at me to get there.
I stopped having the dream sometime in my 20's. I think that was because I
stopped focusing on the things I had lost, and finally had the chance to
build something new for myself. ____________________ "You can tell by the scars on my arms and the cracks in my hips and the

I'm sure I've posted about this before, but all I ever dream about is the
end of the world. Thats all well and good, but I tend to be right about
important things like that. So if you want to know how it happens just
ask.

If all you ever dream about is the end of the world, I'd say that makes you
WRONG about important things like that. How do you figure that makes you
right? ____________________ So Sayeth Me |

At some point in junior high; I was either on a plane to Washington D.C.,
or on a flight from Austin to Houston; I had nodded off when the first of
this recurring dream happened. I can only remember about two of the last
seconds of the dream, but it is always the same. In the dream I open a door
(I don't know what it looks like only that I know its a door.) I take my
first step through the door, while simultaneously raising my right leg. In
the dream when I think my foot should be hitting some ground on the other
side of the doorway I feel nothing simultaneously right foot slams down on
the plane's floor jolting me awake. All I remember is walking through a
door into a blindingly bright area. The dream only occurs when I am asleep
on a plane. ____________________ co-worker: "Your gay!?"

When I was younger I used to have a recurring dream about an alien
spaceship that was parked on the green near to where we lived at the time.I
used to go in the spaceship and interact with the alien crew,I can still
remember what they looked like even now.The dream was,and still is,very
vivid in my mind.I used to have this dream at least twice a week,for quite
a long while,then it just stopped.I hadn't really thought about this in
years,until I read this thread.I have never had any idea what it means or
why it stopped,it was actually quite a comforting dream when I was having
it. ____________________ Between the intent and the act falls the shadow. |

ladylilith-strangly enough, i belive that i either had a similar dream to
yours or read it in a story quite recently...
i used to have a few reacurring dreams about sharks, they were kinda cool
though... i remember them better than the complicated dreams that have
happened more than once, with double worlds and all that kinda theory with
whole beleif and value systems totally different from this world all set up
and what...

I have the dream where my teeth fall out. I'll slide my tongue over 'em
and they'll come loose, and I spit them into my hand in a warm, wet,
scraping mass. Then I say, "mo-om. Can you take me to the doctor?"
There's also the one where I go to put in my contacts, and the contact gets
really big and floppy and I can't fit it into my eye anymore. It's like a
big floppy watch glass like the kind we use in chemistry to hold
precipitate.
I mean, I don't have recurring dreams about teeth and contacts *eyes dart
suspiciously* All my dreams are about dark tunnels and forests and other
such meaningful things . . . what are you talking about? There's the
dream I wish was recurring--the one in which I get to kiss Anthony
Kiedis. Mmm, corporate rockstars . . .
