I personally think they do... not all of them... but some. And I love the ones where my family (all deceased) visit. In my dreams, I realize that they are gone, but enjoy the visit anyway.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-80807167217683185632019-06-27T10:05:36.751-07:002019-06-27T10:05:36.751-07:00Dear Rian, I so enjoyed this posting and your list...Dear Rian, I so enjoyed this posting and your listing of the type of dreams you've had through the years. In my sixties and early seventies, I used to have very symbolic dreams that represented, I thought, my heart wishes. Then that ended and for the past ten years, I mostly haven't been able to remember my dreams. Recently, however, I've been dreaming about rooms and rooms and rooms in houses that stretch on it seems into eternity. Also, I've been dreaming about people who are doing bad things to me--threatening me in some way. And I'm wondering if that is my mind/heart/spirit using a symbol for the health problems I've been having and the accompanying fears that I might not have long to live. Oh, to have a shaman who would gently guide me through the labyrinth of these dreams! I hope your dreams ultimately bring comfort. Peace.

Escaping dreams and being trapped dreams. I’ve always told myself that dreams are just things you are working out in awake life. I’ve had the flying dreams too, I think they are very common.

Perhaps JK Rowlings had the same dreams. It's possible now that your knee is fixed, you will no longer have these stairs dreams.

But I do think that some dreams are just a hodge-podge of all the things we see, read, do, etc. - so they are silly and make no sense. It's just these darn 'confrontation dreams' that somewhat worry me. I never get that angry in real life (nor have cause to) and what I get upset about in these dreams is nothing major.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-66526643528160834022019-06-23T13:54:03.977-07:002019-06-23T13:54:03.977-07:00I've only had a few flying dreams that I can r...I've only had a few flying dreams that I can recall, more floating/flying than real flying, though. Sometimes I'll dream I'm running effortlessly (hahaha), which would NOT happen in real life.<br /><br />Most of the time, though, the dreams, or snippets thereof, that I remember are strange and intense. Sometimes I have recurring places, sometimes recurring themes. I always know work stress is creeping into my life when I dream of a long-ago real workplace that I hated. <br /><br />Sometimes I think dreams signify something we're working out, but sometimes dreams are just dreams, IMO.Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-87828510978479965572019-06-23T13:19:44.333-07:002019-06-23T13:19:44.333-07:00I have had many flying dreams where I am flying wh...I have had many flying dreams where I am flying while laying on my back looking over my shoulders at what is below me. My most recent dream of flying, I was running down the middle of a busy local road and the wind picked me up and was flying me along as I was making running motions with my legs.<br /><br />Throughout my life I have had dreams of stairways that suddenly change once I am on them walking up or down the stairs. Sometimes they start tilting and trying to throw me off, other times they suddenly become old wooden open backed stairs that feel like they are going to break or they are at odd angles and strange shapes. One of the strangest step dreams was when the steps suddenly became heads of lettuce and cabbage, apples and oranges, and they kept rolling under my feet. I've had these stair dreams most of my life, I wonder if they were prescient, because for the past 4 years stairs have become a huge problem for me due to severe arthritis in my knees. I've had one knee surgery and will have another on in the near future. Maybe awhile after that, stairs will be easy again. Oddly enough, I haven't had a weird stair dream ever since I had my first knee replacement surgery a year ago.susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-4793822928123924452019-06-23T12:51:55.537-07:002019-06-23T12:51:55.537-07:00I was thinking that it may be to do with a book or...I was thinking that it may be to do with a book or programme on tv.
