Have you had a reoccurring nightmare before?

As a small kid, like very small, I had this terrible recurring dream where these two men would kidnap me out of my pushchair, and as they'd be taking me away i'd have my arms out reaching for my nan, screaming for help.

It was tramatic af. The bad people in the dream were from two mug shots that i would see on this show called Crime Stoppers. At the end, the program would finish with this collage of mugshots, and my brain had locked on to two faces, and they were then my dream kidnappers.

Recently, over the past few years, i sometimes have a more funny recurring dream where I'm back in Russia and i end up in a situation with no money and , of course, my bank cards etc dont work and it turns into this huge panic because I can't pay for anything or do anything.

In the most recent one, i was told it would be 7 million rubles to get a metro ticket (about 93k usd at current rates) and then i woke up lol

what about you stackers?

  1. When I was a kid, I used to have "fever dreams" that were always the same theme. I didn't even know "fever dreams" were a thing then, but mine were very abstract that had no 'narrative' but upsetting. Imagine watching an EKG machine of a heartbeat on a oscilloscope like screen. Suddenly another signal - another heartbeat - appears and starts to disrupt the original heartbeat signal. Pretty soon both descend into chaos. During those periods of chaos I would get very physically agitated, almost unable to breath. I know that doesn't make sense, it never made sense to me....but this was a recurring dream as a kid I would have only when sick.

  1. Two or three times in college I had dreams where either I missed a test or in one case had a dream that I missed an entire semester of classes and arrived on last day for final. In my dream it was quite funny (well funny after I woke up), because in the dream the professor was berating me for doing so poorly on the final and I was trying to defend myself....offering this excuse or that....finally he said: "None of your excuses make any sense, you have missed every single class this semester!" and only when he said that did I realize that I had completely forgotten that this class had existed on my M-W-F schedule and thus hadn't ever made a single one....

yeah i always thought fever dreams were like super realistic hallucinations from people with very high temperatures

I think they usually are....but evidently some people get very abstract non-narrative hallucinations too.

Yes.

When I was a kid, I used to have dreams about going on a walk with my grandpa. He’s since passed like 20 years ago.

All I remember is that we are walking on some sort of walkway path out in the wild and then we are both falling and when we land, we hit a slope like at the base of a bluff. I would always wake up as soon as I impact with the weirdest chill coming over my body.
