No need to read my whole wall of text, skip to the bottom for the point of the thread :]
I dream heavy. They are strong dreams, often emotionally draining, and I have a lot of recurring themes
Teeth coming out of my gums, needing to be chewed back in place, this came back to me for years. It started to fade off, after I begun to "give in", in my dreams, and just pull all my teeth out. I'd find that I had a new set growing underneath, and everything was fine. When I was little, one milk-tooth was very delayed, and I even forgot about them, untill it came loose. I was terrified, and thought a normal tooth of mine was falling out of my mouth for no reason. This probably dug itself into my subconcious.
Inability to walk properly, was very common for years, but has also faded off a bit lately. In my dreams, my feet won't work properly, I have to drag them along the ground - and sometimes I'll lean forward, touch the ground w my hands, and run - on my arms - sortof like going "wheelbarrow", as if my body was floating behind me, using my finger-tips to drag myself ahead. These dreams are exhausting. I suspect this is my feet tangled up in my blankets - but I'm not sure, since it only happens now and then.
Executions, of me, by firearm. This is a disturbing little thing that has come to me more and more as of late. For whatever reason, in my dream, someone will come up to me and shoot me in the head, and ill feel a variety of sensations, depending on dream to dream, sometimes I'll instantly black out/wake up, other times I'll fall together in a dead lump, feeling blood oozing out of my face, other times I'll just tilt over with a tingling sensation in my head. None of these dreams are particularily comfy.
My lost flat, this is odd. I've moved from flat to flat over the years, but in these dreams, it usually "turns out" that I am still paying for a previous flat, and therefore own two. I feel a sense of neglect for my old flat, and go look for it. Quite often, I'll find my old flat fully furnished, with tons of stuff that apparently belongs to me, but that I can't remember, making me feel bad.
My childhood apartment + laptop. I never owned a laptop, but I'll often return to the apartment I grew up, that we long since moved from before I moved out from home, and my mother will of course still live there, my room is still there, and apparently I have a laptop, with games and stuff (usually civilization 3 ) and sometimes I even have age-old hasheesh in some drawer, that I never actually get to smoke. Sometimes these dreams include rediscovering a budgerigar in a cage. I had these when I was little. In my dream I will be overcome with worry - how could I have forgotten a dear pet like this, and how has it survived unfed for years? Awful
Consumables, food, drink, weed, impossible. I cannot consume anything, in dreams, ever. I have asked around, and I know others that can, so... it's just me - and hopefully some others
Theft. For some reason I tend to steal a lot in dreams. These dreams tend to focus around the theft, and also tend to go into an annoying loop. I will typically move around supermarket isles, or store shelves or something, and wait for "a good moment" to hide my loot, or I'll be trying to find something better to steal. Alternatively I actually want to buy something, but can't find the exact version of what I want. Annoying.
Breaking and entry, related to above, but I never steal any. I explore. I open doors in apartment buildings, and just enter to snoop around. Sometimes I climb walls and balconies. In the latest one I had, the whole building collapsed, but I was fine.
Gigantic weather, mega-tsunamis the size of mountains, coming over the horizon - or a discrete but creepy rise in sea level, enough just to make my shoes wet, but totally creep me out. Other times have been roaring sky, black, green, matrix-esque. Often water, often rivers, flooding, or rivers galopping. In one dream the river itself was like traffic, in the sense that a car-bridge had to halt traffic every now and then, when the river decided to roar past, like a huge foamy wall of... foam...
This one in particular is probably based on a scare I had when I was 19, not really scared, but seriously freaked out - as I experienced my first "flash flood", as melting-water rushed down the mountain sides, and totally surprised me as it suddenly appeared, and roared past me on the sides of the road. I had never seen anything like it, and since exaggerations have featured in my dreams.
Teleportation/"fast travel", probably inspired by games and movies, but I've dreamt of super-duper metro stations, that would transport you across the globe, and I visited my family in "Spain" (cus it's not really Spain, nor looks anything like it), I also strolled casually from here to a city taking a real life 6 hour bus-ride to get to. At least twice I did a "tcl cheat" in order to evade pursuers by floating through walls, and flying away from there.
"wet" dreams are very rare, and they usually take bad, uncomfortable turns, such as one time, when broccoli fell out of her. Yeah, guess where it fell out from. Total turnoff.
Murder? Only once. I decapitated a guy in a dream once, and turned his head into cheese, and cut it into small cubes.
Weapons, often, and always stupidly malfunctional, in the sense that they never fire, but require me to shout "BANG >:O" which has absolutely no effect. Fuck you dream-brain. In one I had an M60, and went around yelling "ratatata"
SOME dreams are just amazing, colorful, joyfilled, I had 2-3 flying dreams. Others are just bothersome, such as one where my best friend came for a visit, dragged plenty of gangster-friends with him, set fire to my apartment, chased me out of the house, and shot me several times in the back.
In fact, my last executed by shot to the head dream was last night, and I can't wait to see what I'll dream of tonight :]
So!
Who's a dreamer?
Recurring concepts, favorite concepts? Dreaded recurring themes? Sentimental stuff? After I lost my cat, almost every dream I had the next year was about the cat coming back to me
