Recurring dreams/nightmares

[Rodneytrotter]

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.

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 the toilet dream too!!
I have a few recurring dreams...one since i was a child of being myself but in a different world/universe. I love it when I get that dream
I have another freaky weird one that happens when I'm stressed that's not so nice.

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.

Is there a thread for the meanings of dreams?

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.

I have quite a lot of lucid dreams. At some point in my dreams I become completely aware I am dreaming but I'm able to remain in the dream; I usually have some control over it but not much and usually just think "this is tit, I'm waking up" and bring myself out of it.

When I was young maybe from about 7 to 12 I had this dream where I was inside an old fashioned house with a small room inside with a long window. I would look out this window and it would be dark and I could see people with knives coming towards the house, I went outside nd they weren't there, went back in and could see them through the glass again. I repeated this then finally I smash the glass and they got me grabbing through the window. I am 42 and can still see the room exactly as it was in my dream. I never understood why I smashed the glass though? It finally stopped when I started growing up.

This one was very weird: several years ago I had a recurring dream in which I was in a guy's apartment with him and he started trying to strangle me. I grabbed a heavy standing lamp and beat him to death with it. Then I washed off the blood in his bathroom and went down a staircase at the back of the building out onto the street where a train station was opposite. In this dream I could always hear a radio playing the same band, but a different song each time.

This continued over months until one day I happened to be out with my aunt and we went into an electrical store where I saw a lamp just like the one in my dream. I have never had it again since
