Share with us the dream you had last night.

Last night I dreamt that we were in a war. For some reason I was staying at a friends house and I was in charge of laundry. It was my job to make sure all the beds had clean bed sheets and that people ( volunteers ) had clean clothes. One guy was leaving so I asked whether he had put his bedsheets in the place to get washed and he hadn’t. Before leaving he took his bed sheets off and put them in the place to get washed and I immediately washed them. I’m not sure why I dreamt about this. This person I was friends with was a person I hung around with before meeting my husband. We were really good friends.
Dreams are strange. My husband wasn’t in my dream. When I woke up I was upset that he wasn’t in my dream.

Dreams are often strange and it's fun to share and try to interpret them.

I know I dreamt last night; I remember dreaming but cannot now recall about what.

I wonder if there's a way to merge my dream thread with yours, @PeppermintPatty? We don't really need two and yours is older.

Dreams ARE strange. I don’t generally recall many of my dreams. When I DO recall my dreams it’s often while I’m dreaming making my ordinary dreams into lucid ones. I’ll realize in my dreams that I’m dreaming. Usually by then I wake up, especially if it’s a disturbing dream.

You can ask Matrix if my thread can be added to your thread, if you want.

Hello, @Matrix

Is it possible to combine this thread with my, "What Did You Dream Last Night?" thread?

Thank you. :giggle:

From what I can tell, it seems the two threads have now been merged, though the title of @PeppermintPatty thread appears to have been kept. It also looks like your thread has been removed following the merger -- perhaps it's easier for the newer thread to be merged into the older one? @Matrix

Since you’ve mentioned we don’t really need two threads -- and I’d agree -- would you and PeppermintPatty be open to including my thread in the merge as well? I started this one back in April 2023. All three threads serve the same purpose:

It's merged into the older one. Merging always works this way, it's not possible to merge an older thread into a newer one.

Thanks for your input @Matrix

@Medusa @PeppermintPatty: Since we are all agreed there’s no real need for multiple threads and it turns out mine is the oldest of the three, are you both happy for this current thread to be merged into it? Thought I would check before asking Matrix to go ahead.

Yes, that's fine with me. If it works for @PeppermintPatty too, let's have one big dream thread. 🙂

@Matrix, thank you for the help here.

That’s fine with me Magna. Not a problem.
I agree that there’s no sense having 3 threads on the same topic.
 
I’ve been aware that I’ve been dreaming a lot lately, yet when I wake, I only have a faint grasp of what the dream was about. Any reflection quickly fades away -- which is unusual for me, as I used to have vivid memorable dreams. I recently read that stress and or anxiety can cause dreams to be forgotten almost immediately, as the mind shifts focus to the waking world rather than the sleeping one.

Anyway, here’s the last dream I can recall:

I entered a long dark road tunnel. There was something I needed to reach on the other side, though I wasn’t sure what the urgency was or why I needed to be there. This part of the dream reminded me of driving through the Gotthard Road Tunnel -- a tunnel that’s 10.5 miles long.


Street View · Google Maps

Within the dream, I sensed that it was warm inside the tunnel, but not in an unpleasant way. Water was running down one side of the interior of the tunnel and onto the road, but I didn’t feel overly concerned -- I felt safe enough inside the tunnel with the water.

Then I drove out of the tunnel into a small town. There’s some reality to this, as I had driven past this town before, though never stopped. In the dream I stopped and walked around. It felt like the afternoon. I saw a group of five people and walked up to them. I recognised one -- a girlfriend from about 20 years ago. She still looked the same age as she did back then. Then suddenly I realised I was 20 years younger too.

There was some trepidation on my part, wondering how this past girlfriend might react, since in reality our relationship hadn’t ended well. Partly due to a combination of bipolar disorder, PTSD, and some other issues -- but I won’t go too deeply into that. We all got talking, and soon after, her friends left, leaving just me and her. I started to get the impression that she hadn’t recognised me, but somehow I felt she was curious about something.

She then invited me back to her apartment. The apartment was bright inside, but strangely it had no windows. It was amazingly colourful inside too, filled with things she had made. She showed me some of them and seemed quite proud of what she had made. On one wall, there was a large bookcase, with some books forced in horizontally where space allowed.

I still got the impression she hadn't recognised me, but then that feeling changed slightly, as I thought she was now starting to recognise me, but she wasn't entirely sure. I got the impression that she recognised 'something' but not my face. I didn't let her know who i was, it didn't seem like the right thing to do somehow. I didn't let her know that I knew who she was -- it didn’t feel like the right thing to do somehow. Nor did I reveal that I knew who she was. I was just happy to see that she seemed happy. So yes, I still have a soft spot for this person.

Then it seemed to me that her sense of who I was was growing stronger, but she didn’t want to ask outright -- maybe out of fear of something. Perhaps she feared that revealing who she was might change how I reacted at that moment. But of course, I already knew exactly who I was talking to.

Then the feeling within the dream shifted again. It felt like we both knew and recognised each other -- and each of us was aware that the other knew. There was a kind of mutual understanding that this recognition needed to be kept safe, unspoken. We were simply happy in each other’s company, with things as they were at that moment in the dream. Both the imagery and thoughts and feelings within the dream were quite vivid. A kind of quiet private respect for each other's boundaries. Something that felt quite complex.

She then announced that she had some errands to do and would be leaving the apartment soon. We both got up and walked to the door, and that’s where the dream ended. For the next three days, I genuinely felt uplifted. The memory of the dream stayed with me, along with the thought of someone I once knew feeling happy and safe.

A short clip of the town that I have only ever driven past, but stayed for a while in my dream:

I was working at an agency where we sold memberships to a golf club.

I set off some sort of bomb while I was at work, I don't remember why, but it wasn't strong enough to do any serious damage. But these people drove up in their car, which was making a loud sound like had been damaged, and I was afraid they were coming to tell me I had ruined their car.

It turned out that they were coming to use the phone because they were a playing game sponsored by the fast-food restaurant, Arby's.

Another carload of people came up with the same purpose.

At work, a friend was worried and suspicious that I was buying day memberships to the golf club without her and I had to show her, under my clothes and in my bag as proof that I wasn't, before she was convinced. She had been buying day passes for me to go with her

There was a hole in the wall on the bottom right corner of my house that I had dug out with a spoon. I think I was going to try to rebuild the house as I do in the game, Animal Crossing.

EDIT: typo

I found my way to a Walmart parking lot. It was one I'd never been to. The parking lot was as big as a lot for NFL stadium and it was plumb full, but I found a spot where the overflow had started using driving corridors for new parking, and I parked there. When I left the store (empty handed as I still was), I used a motor cycle to get back to my car. I don't know where I got the motorcycle, but it seemed totally normal that I would have one.

I met some motorcycle cops that were riding bright red cycles with fancy paint jobs. We had a friendly chat, and I continued on my way. When I got to where I parked my car, it wasn't there. I looked all over, but I couldn't find it. The End!

I've only just recently realised that this is mostly a recurring dream. It's one of those dreams that are immediately forgotten upon waking -- and it's only on the most recent occasion that I actually remembered it and realised I've had this same dream before.

In the dream, I’m at my parent's home while they are away in a foreign country. Sometimes I get the sense they have been away for just a few weeks; on other occasions it’s been months. In each version of the dream, they return unannounced, late at night -- and the house is a complete mess, created by me.

I hear their car pull up outside and go to look from an upstairs window.

There’s always some kind of commotion happening out in the street. My parents are never directly involved in it. The chaos in the street varies: sometimes it’s people arguing, sometimes someone trying to steal a neighbour’s car, or even a car crash of some sort. Once, it was just people oddly moving cars up and down the street, seemingly to reposition them for no reason.

But my parents never actually enter the house. The commotion always reaches some strange conclusion, and then I wake up.
 
I dreamed I was preparing to shampoo a carpet, then when I woke up I found the cat had thrown up, so probably I'd heard him doing that while I was asleep. Nice to have a dream that makes sense. Usually I dream about properties (houses, land, barns, animals), mostly ones that need substantial repair work, or where I'm worried I've left animals unattended.

I've been fascinated by recurring dreams as I've only ever had the same dream twice. It must make you wonder what your subconscious is trying to tell you, if anything.

Yes, absolutely -- especially considering both of my parents passed away several years ago. In that particular dream (post #418), I had no sense at all that they were already gone.

In a different recurring dream, my dad's health actually seemed to be improving with each dream -- even though in reality, he had a terminal illness and had already passed away. That dream came to me around ten times, with my dad's health getting better each time. In the last two dreams of this type, he had no health issue at all. Eventually, within the dream itself, I had the thought: “He should have died by now.” As horrible as that sounds, it's just one of those strange, uncontrolled thoughts the subconscious throws up during a dream.

It even got to the point of thinking within the dream, that someone had tricked me regarding the seriousness of my dad's health.

Seems like maybe you were working through it in your dreams and had come to being ready to accept the reality.

My subconscious isn't usually so direct with its messages, though I would certainly appreciate some clarity.

Yes, I wondered the same thing, but I also wondered why I got the sense of being tricked. As that thought was so strong, I thought that too was a way of accepting reality. I thought is my subconscious trying to tell me that death itself is just a big trick, and he didn't really die in the way we perceive it to be.
