Your dream theme?

Lakes, trains and trams :razz:

Green… Places? Stuff… There’s always some green :tongue:

I haven’t had a full lucid dream but my most common theme for ND is reality…boring boring reality i next to never have Dreams with anything cool or unreal :neutral:

Oh yeah, also in quiet a few of my dreams my high school is a theme, even though I finished it. I think it’s this massive dream sign I miss, though.

Mostly nightmares, but I seem to enjoy to think about them when I’m awake. Mostly chase and things, sometimes old phobias like drug needles and such. Most of my dreams are quite bizarre and wierd, like two days ago I was dreaming that there are zits all over my legs, and when I squize them, a white paper comes out. So wierd.

Oh of course! how could I forget:

Exploring homes and interesting buildings. :content:

You took the words out of my mouth. Except that I haven’t yet finished High School.

90% of my recent dreams happen at high school. HUGE missed dream sign…

I see Dead people in my dreams.

I have never had a certain theme for my dreams, every 1 has it’s own theme, but if a theme is seeing people in dreams? then Yeah…that about as close to a theme as i can get.

Often fleeing, trying to escape from someone or from somewhere. It is not scary, just exciting :smile:.

It used to be a lot of flying around and/or being chased by people (as in exciting, not necessarily nightmare-ish).

But lately those haven’t happened as often as in the past. A lot of my dreams seem to revolve around current events in my life. Video games often feature. Or happenings from my daily life will return in some form. Actually, compared to previous years, my dreams make more sense to me than they did before.

One reason might be that my life as of late has been somewhat routine, at least as far as daily activity goes. University 4 days a week makes for regular traveling and interaction with roughly the same people. I don’t have a lot of time to do other stuff, so I tend to not get too many “random” elements in my dreams.

That said, I keep having dreams about this one person I was friends with in high school. We haven’t seen or spoken in over 6 years. And we were never really that close to begin with. Yet I’ve written down at least 6 or 7 dreams where he was a “main character.”

But I digress.

One of the most common themes for me is living in my parents’ apartment (where I lived as a child and a teenager) even though being grown up.
Another very common one is being lost somewhere, not being able to find my way, or having parked my car somewhere and not being able to find it when I come back.
Also school and school related things are very common for me (I am a teacher in my waking life).

My themes tend to change over time. For a while, it was common for my dreams to involve videogame characters of some sort. After that, I had a really frustrating theme: I’d have a false awakening, jot down a detailed account of my dream in my DJ, then wake up with no memory of the dream I’d just had. Fortunately, that’s becoming less common.

The only prevailing theme, from what I can recollect, is my house. Quite a few of my dreams either took place at my house, or slowly morphed into my house as the dream went on. If this does not occur, my dreams are extremely random, and that’s how I like 'em.

Right now, my dream theme seems to be video games: either being inside them (although not manipulated by a player somewhere else; I always have control of my own actions within the parameters of the game) or playing them, except that I don’t notice the screen–it’s like I’m floating in the game world.

When I started working on dream recall, I thought that a lot of my dreams involved an obstacle-filled journey from Point A to Point B. However, as I’m getting to the point of remembering a dream or two every night, I’m discovering that those dreams seem to be pretty uncommon.

Great, now my dream-theme is friends.

I like my dreams.

My theme is world of warcraft and trying to fall asleep without noticing im already asleep (Ill sleep into the dream without loosing conciousness)

I am so often involved with the new york city subway system in my dreams. Im either on a train, taking a train, trying to find a train, transfering. etc…

I used to really have to go to the toilet in my dreams previously. Not anymore though :smile: I don’t get any sexual dreams though… :blush: (but what are LDs for :razz:

My dreams are usually related to me dying/someone being separated from a group of people, usually out of an act of heroism to save others/me spinning extremely fast - being scared/school.

The death in my dreams mostly occur to me in violent ways, the weapon I die by is usually a knife. I have gotten my throat slit, stomach stabbed, backstabbed, strangled and drowned.

The separation is most likely connected to the fact that sacrificing oneself for the sake of others is a very noble and heroic deed. I find the theme to be extremely touching.

The spinning, well, those dreams have accompanied me since childhood, I simply spin, usually by holding onto a vertical pipe that spins or something, feeling the g-forces. These dreams cause me to wake up after a while.

I think school haunts most of the people, I can see myself doing a test or an exam with no luck whatsoever. They are always very distressing, excluding during the holidays, because of the relief when you wake up.
