What's your dream theme?

Back to General Discussion

I started to notice that my dreams are starting to have repeating themes. At least the ones I can remember. Which probably makes sense, after all the brain is just mixing a bunch of things from memories to create dreams. I just think it's fascinating that my brain has found something it likes and likes to put in my dream.


My most common dream theme is that I'll be in a store or a building and suddenly I'll see fish swimming and sometimes they're not even swimming in tanks, they're swimming in the air. Or they'll be in tanks embedded into walls, I even had a dream where I went to seafood section at a grocery store and all the fish came to life and were swimming in the air. They fluctuate in size too so they can range from tiny to the size of my head.


When I don't dream about that though, I tend to dream about the outdoors or liminal spaces. Though I have noticed that I'll even dream something so close to real life I'm convinced I'm not dreaming. 


Anyone else have something similar? Do you dream about real life or do you dream about videos games or being in book worlds? Does the dream follow a trope like a TV show?

ehh..

surrealism Σ(・ω・ノ)ノ surrealism.. actual things in life mixed with video games.. real life things , and fragmented memories.. theyre usually comforting things , i like my dreams because they make me feel safe

@mrsurrealist

That's really interesting. (o´▽`o)

My dreams feel the same way but I've also felt surreal when I have these dreams too? It's had to explain but sometimes my dreams feel like I'm experiencing something for the first time all over again

my dreams are kind of insane so its hard to tell

i oftentimes dream about meeting someone i look up to and then immediately dying/watching them die in an incredible and comical way. another common one is just dying and becoming a ghost but the afterlife is incredibly disappointing and/or funny. the only other repeating theme i can think of is being left behind or ignored no matter what i do

this sounds a lot darker when i explain it but it's actually extremely funny in practice, one of my more recent dreams has been meeting my favorite music artist at a movie theater and then he threw me through a wall for literally no reason

90% of the time my dreams are set within some sort of apocalypse or a school. or both... stress me out a lot cuz 1 i have a fear of the apocalypse esp a zombie apocalypse and 2 most of my bad memories stem from school.
