I have horrible dreams that I only have weeks to live or that one of my children have died and im always so relieved to wake up but if affects me for the rest of the day and I do get tearful.
I also dream that my mum is alive again in that she had come back to life and nobody can work out how she did it. (she died a few years ago).
I also suffer with sleep paralysis which is terrifying and can cause me to suffer with psychosis.
I had a nightmare the other night that there was a cure for covid but somebody had to be sacrificed and a load of people started walking towards me as they had chosen me. One woman got to me and I felt her slicing my skin. I realised in my dream that I needed to wake up so forced myself to break from sleep to awake. I was too scared to go back to sleep in case I went back into the same dream.
I also dream about plane crashes a lot.
I also dream I have a pet dog that I have abandoned and the rspca always catch me out and I have to make up excuses to try not to get the blame.

Mine are always around travel, stress about not getting to places in time and not having travel organised, not being packed, waking late and forgetting about my flight/train.
I also have had ones like yours, particularly showing up to work in just my dressing gown with nothing underneath haha.

I often dream this too!My recurring dream is my teeth falling out. Apparently it’s linked to anxiety or stress over money. I actually think it’s anxiety and worry over losing my teeth
I also often dream that I'm back in school doing an English exam and my pen is too heavy to lift off the desk so I can't write anything.

The worst exam I ever sat in real was a French law exam at university. I clearly remember sitting there and not knowing what to write. I had recurring dreams about that for nearly 20 years after on and off. It's only in the last 5-10 years I've finally shaken it off!
When I was younger I used to have two recurring dreams.
The first one was centered around a field at the top of the road of my childhood home. I would allways be walking up there with one or two of my friends or family, allways different people. At the top of the field there was allways an old fashioned travellers wagon (sorry I don't know what its called?) with a fortune teller in it trying to get us to go inside. Behind the wagon was a couple of large trees and there would allways be childrens bodies hanging from one of the branches. We used to have to run for our lives away from this fortune teller as i just knew she wanted to harm us. This used to be very vivid and scary.
Another one was basically being in my house and people attacking the house trying to get inside. They would be coming from all sides at once loads of them. Over the back gate, front door, back door, trying to climb up to the windows. I'm allways alone inside with no way of getting out or stopping the attackers, so I would usually be hiding somewhere just listening to them and waiting for them to get in.
I used to have them both regularly probably at least a couple of times a week untill I was about 20 then all of a sudden stopped and I never had them again.

OMG, same! I came on here to say the exact same thing.
In most of my dreams i do be on the train near a beach or in the city centre. Idk why either as I haven’t used the train regularly in 10 years
I also have toilet dreams, it’s always in schools or office buildings I’m trying to find a toilet to use. One time I even was trying to use the toilet and woke up just in time because I would’ve pissed in the bed.

Mine all feature trains
I have no interest in trains, probably been on one about 10 times in my 42yrs of life.
But yes, on a train, at a train station, waiting for a train etc

These are all classic archetypal dreams! I have had the underdressed in public theme before, and definitely am familiar with suddenly realising something is happening that I haven't prepared for.
I love dreams, they're fascinating. I'm quite interested in Jungian dream analysis — some people think dreams are interpretable according to a dream dictionary, but I think they require a bit of deeper thought... sometimes the subconscious is trying to get a message out, and it might not be as simple as 'you feel exposed' or 'you're underprepared'.
If you look at the setting of the dream and the other details, people, it's sooo interesting to try and piece together what's going on.
Of course that could all be a load of shit and it's just nonsense
My recurring theme is toilets and bathrooms. Trying to find them, being unable to find them, suddenly finding hundreds of them, but they're all dirty, or the cubicle walls have a hole in them, or people are watching, or it's high up on a stage. so vivid and real!

I have at least two dreams or nightmares that I cannot get rid of.
1 is standing at a platform waiting for my train. As the train arrives someone behind me pushes me onto the tracks and I am horribly killed.
Or when the train arrives and the doors open I trip and my foot/leg becomes trapped between the side of the train and the platform and I cannot get it out. I scream to the guard person not to let the train move but it does!!!
My 2nd nightmare is catching Covid and not surviving just like my partner did not in real life.

My partner had this when he was younger and it coincided with him losing his hair!My recurring dream is my teeth falling out. Apparently it’s linked to anxiety or stress over money. I actually think it’s anxiety and worry over losing my teeth

I have the loo ones too. I think it's often a combination of actually needing the loo, and anxiety type feelings.
I regularly dream about houses - in the dream they are 'my' house but they're not a house I've ever lived in or even seen. I dream about one particular house fairly regularly. Am always a bit disappointed when I wake up and realise I don't live there!
Are all your dreams generally pleasant though? Mine always are, they're mostly quite mundane (going to work, going shopping etc!) but never scary or upsetting. Very occasionally I dream about my parents (who died over 20 years ago when I was in my early 20s) and that's sad, but I never have scary dreams. My partner however either doesn't dream about anything (most of the time) or has terrifying ones about being chased or stabbed or set on fire

This is one of my reccuring dreams. I am in the school hall taking O levels. Or going back into sixth form for A levels.
I left school after my O levels and my mother didn’t speak to me for three months. This is over 40 years ago.

I have had 2 different recurring dreams , 1 is that when I go outside my car isn't where I parked at it is somewhere else. I haven't had that since a neighbour woke up and their car had gone cos it had rolled down the hill .
Other is that aeroplanes fall out the sky. I usually dream that I tell people I have dreamed about that happening.
I also often dream that I have to go through a gap that is too small and it makes me feel uncomfortable.

Does anyone else have recurring dreams.
Mine usually involve being very inappropriately underdressed in public. For instance going to work with only a slightly too small towel to preserve my modesty, that keeps slightly dropping down! Another is wearing a very short skirt and realising I have no knickers on so I'm constantly pulling the skirt down.
I also have had many dreams that I have an exam that I haven't studied for as I skipped nearly all of the lessons. I left school nearly 40 years ago!
I don't know what these say about me!

Oh my god I have found my people! I relate to so much of this haha!
Always dream of toilets, I’m bursting but all the cubicles are locked or when I find one it’s overflowing or the seat is really high/the cubicle walls are really low, so everyone can see me.
Always dream I forgot to hand in one assignment and I need it complete my degree. Even though I graduated 15 years ago! And I’m getting on a train to travel to my uni and get to the library and start researching, it’s so stressful lol. Alternatively I’m back in high school with no timetable, running about trying to find out where I’m supposed to be. While at the same time thinking, “im 35 why am I back at school” lol.
Always dream I need to quickly get ready for a massive event I’d forgot about like a family wedding. Like everyone is dressed to the nines and ready to start the ceremony and I’m frantically trying to blow dry my hair still, just out the shower.
