Do you have a recurring dream?

[Buckalew11]

I've heard that, I've also heard that it means you are feeling unprepared for something in your life.

Yeah, I'm probably unprepared for life itself!!

When I was pregnant, I used to dream that I would leave the baby at home like I'd forgotten I had had a baby. Those were very strange & thankfully never came to pass.

I've had the same dream many times since I was very young. I am in a house and I look out the window. I see a tornado and I need to warn everyone, but I can't say anything. I can't move. I have no idea what it means. I don't have it real often, but it is always the same.

I would have that dream too- like all of a sudden while I am out shopping or whatever I am doing in my dream and I realize," OH MY GOD___I LEFT MY KIDS AT HOME ALONE!"

Totally relate to the final exam and I realize I hadn't been to class all semester- I think I do feel like I have unfinished career goals...I spent 4 years in college and I never quite accomplished what I set out to do (teach). And yet I am quite happy staying at home with the kids right now, so what I am worrying about!

When I was pregnant, I dreamed I gave birth to a Chihuahua.

I'm sorry, this made me laugh! Be glad it wasn't a Rottweiler!

DVCLiz - I also have a big house with many rooms recurring dream. However, I LOVE this weird dream!

I buy a house and when moving in, notice a doorway I hadn't seen before. It opens to more & more rooms - every doorway leads to another. (I guess I like it because I feel I got a bargain!). I'm assuming it's my subconscious reminding me of the opportunities in life when I'm stressed by problems.

I have had a recurring dream that involves and elevator. I'm alone, and it starts to go down, then I am lifted up to the ceiling and am stuck to the ceiling as the elevators continues to go down. It never stops. I find this so wierd because I have been having this dream for about 20 years and I can almost feel the sensation in the dream, of being lifted up in the elevator. This was years before Tower of Terror was even invented! I find it strange that I love that ride, but in my dreams I don't drop as fast as the TOT.

Yes, if I'm under stress, I'll dream about tornados.


I love the recurring dreams that I'm ice skating through streets, towns and cities that I've never been before.

Cool! My recurring dreams involve tornadoes. For me this always signifies a change. They have lessened as I've gotten older.

The last 14 years, I've had dreams about airplanes crashing around me. Large, jetliners that are moving slowly above me and I know they're going to crash. Then trying to run or find a safe place. They happen at least once a month.

Lately I've been able to remember in my dream that I dream about this all the time & I've said "it's just a dream" to myself & hope for the best. Sometimes I don't know it's just a dream, and those times are not so fun.

Don't know what causes it or how to fix it..any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I've had those same dreams. In my dreams, planes are crashing all around me and I'm trying to call 911. But my fingers never work right and i can't dial the phone. So, as you could imagine 9/11 was literally a nightmare come true for me.

I use to work full time for 5 years in hs and college at a discount store here named Jacks, it was later bought out by shopko and then closed down for good in 2001.

I have a dream where I go there to shop,and they tell me I was suppose to work that day, and I freak out because I havent been there in so long, and i am so embarrased, and i go into the breakroom and clock in, and go to work.

i have this dream at least once a month. i think it is because I stay home with ds right now, and it was once such a big part of my life. i think it is because i do feel a level of guilt for not bringing in the money like i use to, and so I feel like i should be doing something.

And also, because sometimes i really do miss that place. kinda like cheers 'where everybody knows your name'. that place had my best friends, by first boyfriends, my first bosses, my first taste of leadership, etc. etc. etc. every now and then, it would be nice to go back,.... just for a little while.

I have a recurring dream in which I am with my boyfriend but something just doesn't feel right and I feel like I really don't like him

At the end of my dream, or when I wake up, I always realise that it's not my bf at all, but my ex, and that that was why I felt so uncomfortable. I always feel relieved when I realise this and instantly happy when I remember my real boyfriend.

I have that dream about once a week (have done for three years) and I have no idea why! I have no qualms with my ex at all and (despite some previous posts...) no problems in my relationship!

One, I wish I could have more often, but it's been happening less and less over the years. My first love died when we were young (19/20) and I'll have a dream about him that starts out nicely enough. We just sit and talk. It feels so wonderful! But then he gets up and has to leave, but I'm trying so hard to warn him not to go, that he'll be killed, but he doesn't listen. I cry myself hoarse trying to get him to listen. I wake up so drained, but the great feeling of getting to talk to him is so worth it. That dream affects me all day long -- from being so sad and depressed, to feeling so wonderful that I spent time with him.

Another one is of flying. Usually it involves being chased, but I'm able to escape by flying up -- I can never go very high, usually just skimming the ceiling or tree tops... sometimes only able to skim above the ground, but I'm still able to escape whatever it is chasing me. Weird. Maybe the skimming means I'm afraid I won't get any higher in life.

Yet another one involves elevators. They usually go sideways and up and down, then begin to crash somehow. I don't like that one.

The final one always involves being back in school. It's always a very sentimental type of dream where I'm back in high school or college. I usually only have it when I'm NOT in school (I've been in college off and on for the past 10 years ).

yep.
I talked about my dream in therapy and figured out what it represents. Now that I know what it is, I haven't had it. I had this one terrifying dream for about fifteen years........................ I also now keep a journal by my bed to write down any unusual dreams that I have, it helps to go over them in waking hours and decipher them.
