A strange phenomenon I've always experienced is reoccurrence in my dreams. Specifically, themes and most predominately locations. I used to be a lucid dreamer too, when I was a younger coon with fewer stripes on my tail.
I've had a lot of different places keep coming back, all of which are places that don't really exist, or at least not in the way they do in my dreams. There's a great big school, a hospital, a shipping dock, an airport, a suburb, a big open park, a grocery store, an entire mall, a C-train station, and the downtown region of the city I live in, and more. Sometimes they bleed into each other, the C-train station is sometimes a walkable distance away from the school, and other times it's right next to the park or the airport. Once I went from the school to the hospital without leaving the building, like the two were connected.
The themes and emotions of the dreams don't typically have any real connection to the place. Sometimes I'm there for fun, sometimes I'm trying to find parking, sometimes I'm just walking around the place. A few times I was lost or late for work. Sometimes I'm there for work! Usually I'm alone, but sometimes other people are there. Friends, acquaintances, even a group of strangers.
I don't believe there is any significance or meaning to it. A novelty that makes the waking hours following a tincy bit more interesting. I don't really hear much about this kind of thing from other people, and I'm always curious if anything tends to reoccur in other peoples' dreams! Do they happen often? Is this a symptom of something, or just merely a minor oddity? Does it happen all the time for everyone and we just forget about it? What kinds of places do other people "visit?" What if any commonalities do these places share for each individual? It seems to me the only real common "location" for one's dreams are the place he lives in or grew up at, which does make sense.
A curious coon's interests can not be sated easily. Tell us about your own experiences with dreams! How often do they happen? The same places at the same rates? Is there some kind of theme or emotional state when in these dreams?
