Recurring Dreams

Published by jodapoet at 1:22 pm under Writing, philosophy Edit This

The dream world has always fascinated me.  In connection with previous posts I thought I would talk a little bit about recurring dreams.

For years I have had two separate recurring dreams.  One which sparks my curiosity and one which always has me waking in a cold sweat.   The latter dream, I am much younger than I am now maybe in my teens and I am walking around what I can only describe as what looks to be like a mash unit - as in the TV series.  I am wearing a light gown and walking barefoot with my feet wet.  I am basically just walking around in circles among the unit.  I feel fearful in the dream and I also, as strange as it sounds feel my feet wet.  I have no idea if this was a past life though I tend to believe it was since it feels so real.  I always awaken after this dream feeling afraid.

The other dream I again am walking barefoot, though fully clothed within a neighborhood of stately brownstones.  They all look the same and for some reason I’m feeling as if I am in England.  When I awaken from these dreams I feel curious as to these locations.

I don’t know what any of these dreams mean or what they are trying to tell me but what is strange is that I am always barefoot.  In my real/awake life I rarely am barefoot unless I’m on the beach.  

I find dreams exciting and interesting.  What are some of your recurring or strange dreams?

    I too have recurring dreams.

    One - I was back at school

    Two - I was being swept away in a river

    maybe I have some unresolved issues back at school pr insecurities, I don’t know but I dreamt about them too many times that I lost count.

    i too have recurring dreams, that is of being back in the place where i grew up but no one among my family lives there anymore. maybe, sometime, when i visit the philippines again, i will try to re-visit the place where we grew up.

    line - the one being swept away by a river is a bit scary.

    betchai - you may just be homesick

    ratty - now that is strange. Wow, you woke up growling? that would scare me.

    CJ - A loose tooth. I wonder what that means.

    Thanks to you all for reading and commenting. I am enjoying the discussion.
