What are some of your personal dreamsigns? Part III

Hello!

Well, I dream about buses, taxis and sometimes cars. I am usually a passanger in the first two and a driver in the cars (even though I can’t do it in real life).

I also noticed that I’m at my grandparent’s house all the time and it looks exactly the same as the real house.

Until last year I would dream A LOT about floods and tsunamis, so I was pretty scared :tongue: but luckly it stopped.

[color=olive] :dark: In my last tsunami dream I recall: I was hovering over the aftermath while a voice was telling me how that there were no survivors and it was all my fault because I couldn’t save anyone. My tension forced me out of that dream. It reminded me of a dark chapter I would read in a Superman comic.

This is going to would really sad but for me it’s seeing my little brother & sister. I haven’t seen them IRL for years so they are still children in my head… ^^;

My dreams tend to have low gravity or gravity-manipulating contraptions. I tend to not become lucid because flying is so damn cool.

Mine are mirrors. Another one are difficulties of reading.

My younger brother appears a lot in my dreams, at least 2-5 times a week.

Bad weather is a common theme for me, tornadoes, hurricanes, thunder and lightning, and heavy rain.

For bad dreams, lights not working is a very big dream sign as it’s the only time in dreams they fail to work.

Another general sign would be bring in my old homes, particularly the last one which seems to be the most common in dreams, even though I moved out in the late 1990s. I still get school dreams quite often as well.

A lot of times in a dream, I have to pay for something, but when I look in my wallet, there’s something wrong with the money, like, it might be foreign money, or in weird denominations like $30. I know there’s something wrong with the money, but I never seem to connect it with it being a dream.

Hmm, some of my dreamsigns would be weird weather, my grandmother that right now is dead, a DC named Kris that is not too persistent in my dreams but he still is and that’s all I can think about now :meh: .

vivid dreams.

Video game worlds, tearing up at the thought of doom coming over my family, my subconscious taking care of the walking for me, vehicles randomly vanishing as you drive them and car doors being an absolute pain to shut.

Some of my dreamsigns:

  • A game world (one inspired by Guild Wars 2 or WoW seems to appear pretty often although I haven’t played either in a long time)
  • Maps. Maps are way more common; I can almost always see one in my mind if I need to. (I have a habit of mapping areas in my mind. Often, when I think about random stuff, I see a familiar location in my mind that I wander around subconsciously. Maybe it’s part of my memorization system, since my mind returns to the same location when I think about the same thing later on.) Maps can sometimes be used for teleporting.
  • Friends, family and pets that are dead in waking life. Usually they make me lucid.
  • Wandering in cities/surreal, dystopian environments/wilderness. I’ve had lots of dreams where I just observe and move around. I don’t like those. Probably linked to my mind wandering in familiar locations while awake too.

being in a car going somewhere, being around family members…

Really, really big malls, with loads of floors and escalators.
Surroundings from real life being a little unusual, like bridges, ways to random locations appearing or leading to somewhere else than in real life. Often being the same in several dreams.
Surroundings that reappear pretty consistently in several dreams.
The slopes outside my grandparent’s house; sometimes as usual, sometimes altered.
The cafeteria in my old school: often much bigger than in reality, and used by people not connected to the school, and its corridors, just way more complicated to navigate through.
Driving, even though I don’t have a driver’s license (not in the dreams either), basically just hopping in thinking “how hard can it be?”
Having a really hard time lifting my feet from the ground and walking. Very annoying.
Running, for no specific reason, just to get to places faster.

It’s my first day at school, I am reading the planning of the week. The numbers of the classrooms are missing. Sometimes it’s names of classrooms and not numbers.
I stopped school since 2004 and I never become lucid when this scene is happening… :roll:
Maybe now that I wrote it I will…

:rc:

Well… I’m not exactly too attentive when it comes to details, but one thing that I noticed is that it is very rarely — hell, I could go ahead and say “never” — daytime in my dreams. It is most definetely always night time, or maybe evening. Actual daylight is an amazingly rare occurance for some for reason.

But other than that, there isn’t anything consistently odd… or so I think.

  • Stairs
  • Driving my car and not being able to bring it to a complete stop
  • Realising I’m standing on top of a very tall building
  • Looking at a clock twice in quick succession and noticing the time has completely changed
  • Same as above, but with words

I have a lot of “losing control” dreams. In real life, I’m fairly independent in personality. Not really afraid of much, and confident in my abilities. My brain seems to like to swap that around on me. :razz:

For instance, the brakes in the car will suddenly go out, and I’ll be going too fast to stop. Sometimes it’s dumb work stuff where I can’t seem to do anything right.

The worst are the nightmares where I’m being raped. They happen fairly often, and the rapists are always the kindest people I know IRL. The one guy was actually a friend who worked in the homeless ministry, and would give you the shirt off his back in a heartbeat. The dream turned him into an absolute monster. :confused:

Other, lighter-hearted dream signs are usually old, abandoned houses. Plus going out with my old friends from high school that I haven’t seen in years.

Taking my dog on a walk is a common one; and I was able to use it to attain lucidity just yesterday. It could just be that I’m more likely to RC during that time, however.
