Recurring Dreams...

I add numbers over and over. The same numbers and easy numbers. I'll ask myself what 17+23 is and I'll say 40. Then I'll ask myself, Is that right? and repeat, always repeat, over and over and over.

The other is a boiling pot of water that I take off the stove, I look back and the pot is back on the stove boiling again. Repeat, always repeat, over and over and over.

Yikes, those sound incredibly annoying. Do you realize they are recurring when you are having them?

The thing that is so strange to me is when I wake up, remembering the dream and I get a rush of deja vu and the realization that I've played the same thing out many times before.

If I was running badly in poker for 2 or 3 days I would have dreams of being back in high-school and late for an exam or missing it entirely....

I still have a dream like this every so often and I've been having it for about 4-5 years now.

I also occasionally have dreams where I am trying to run or punch/kick someone and I am either stuck in place or unable to cause damage respectively.

Finally, I often have dreams where I am one of the only people left on earth or THE only person and everyone else is dead or just gone.

Boy, the armchair psychiatrists should have a field day with those. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I think recurring dreams happen because there is a problem in the dream that you haven't solved. For example, I kept having a dream where I was running a race and was running really fast, then my legs would get tangled up and I couldn't run anymore and I would lose. Then one day I had the dream again, but this time I finished the race, and then never had the dream again.
Also I've had dreams about ghosts where they would scare me and I would wake up. Then one day I had a similar dream, but this time I talked to the ghost and asked it why it was here, and then I never had the dream again.

They are pretty annoying. I dont think I'm fully asleep, because I feel like I am aware of them. Kind of in a half sleep and half wake state. I'm aware that they are recurring, I think to myself you just answered that and then I think, well I better recheck it.
