Last night marks the fourth time I’ve dreamt that I could boop people on Tumblr again. Clearly I miss the feature

This describes a recurring nightmare I had during my entire childhood

Even though the dream is always at my high school theater, I'm always the age I currently am, which only gets weirder as I get older.

Possibly one of THE most frustrating things about experiencing cognitive awareness whilst having hallucinations/delusions/splitting episodes is getting that feeling, as if you're in the passenger's seat of a car, you've just looked over to the driver's seat to see nobody there, so you try to move to grab the steering wheel, but you're bound by invisible chains that shackle you to the passenger's seat as the car you're in speeds down the road, so your only hope to make it out alive as you struggle against the invisible chains is either that you suddenly grow superhuman strength and bust out, or you wait for the car to eventually crash or run out of gas so you can cry for help from horrified bystanders.

Or maybe that's just a personal thing because this entire scenario is based on a recurring dream I've had since I was a little girl that has followed me into adulthood, who knows

I keep having nightmares about avalanches. I... don't ski and I'm not from a place with mountains (I live near mountains now).

I'm really tempted to start giving my characters totally unrelated recurring nightmares. Build a whole separate storyline.

Had that recurring dream again last night. Driving all over Los Angeles, anxious about reaching an undetermined destination. No people. Just light and shadows and an ever-so-slight sense of dread. Suits me if it happens again tonight.

Does anyone else frequently have the same exact dreams over and over again?

Like one dream I remember having a lot as a kid would start with me walking through a foggy topiary garden with stone gargoyle statues before going down these stairs that led to an underground... catacomb? Mausoleum? The place seemed long abandoned, the ground was covered in dead leaves and the stone decorations were covered in dust and cobwebs. Eventually I would always find this woman wearing a black, red, and green floral dress in the catacombs who would lead me to this room with a table with an emerald green tablecloth. We'd talk for a while before she'd show me a teacup covered with a lid. She removed the lid to reveal a blinking eye inside the cup. The dream would always end there.

I haven't had that dream in a while but I still remember it vividly.

Dwayne Johnson keeps showing up in my dreams. I’m just having a dream, look at my neighbor’s house. Dwayne Johnson is my neighbor. I am with friends in the dream. Look who showed up, it’s Dwayne Johnson. But in the latest dream he was in, he beat me up for no reason. I fear he is growing stronger and I am already powerless to stop him.

How to use your body to get over nightmares and IRL anxiety

Your Throat

Emotions: Anxiety, Stress, Fear of the Truth

Symbolic: Drowning in water, being choked/strangled

Literal: Tight vocal chords, "drowning" in words, Going non-verbal (autism), Feeling like your throat is crushing you, Trouble swallowing

Solution: Focus on your Diaphragm and take deep breaths. Then, focus on your throat and open it as if you're going to sing a very low note.

Symbolic Consequence: You can breathe underwater, your throat is strong enough to withstand any choking or strangling

Literal Consequence: Your brain was not receiving any signals from your nerves in the throat. Diaphragmatic breathing establishes your sense of control and awareness and assists you in re-establishing the connection between your brain and your body.

Your Heart

Emotions: Hopelessness, Pessimism, Rumination, Depression

Symbolic: Falling down or Falling Backwards, Stabbed in the chest, Being invisible or Being watched by shadow figures

Literal: Feeling like you have a void in your chest, Experiencing shutdown (autism), Feeling "empty"

Solution: Focus on your Diaphragm and take deep breaths. Then, focus on your heart. Put one hand over it and one hand on your throat to feel your pulse. As you focus on your circulation, imagine blood being pumped in and out of your heart.

Symbolic Consequence: Feeling Love radiate out from you, Feeling invincible, Having shadow figures disappear or transform into regular people, Gained ability to Fly

Literal Consequence: Your brain was not receiving any signals from your nerves in the heart. Diaphragmatic breathing establishes your sense of control and awareness and assists you in re-establishing the connection between your brain and your body.

DREAMS

I had my recurring dream last night about being trapped at the mall with no phone, no money and no way of making it home. In the dream sometimes I was working my old job, sometimes I was being forced to work in this giant department store where I didn't know anything or anyone. And at the end the mall was closing it was nobody I knew, I could not find a phone and I was thinking that I was going to have to walk home.

Recurring dreams are always interesting because even when they're not exactly the same there are always certain details that pop up every time.

For me, I often have dreams where I'm running. They often start at my old house, and I run into the woods and down the hill until I come to a river.

The river doesn't exist; the woods and the hill do, to some capacity-- the hill is always sharper in my dreams, the trees always taller. But this river is completely my imagination. If I go far enough through the woods behind that house I'll find roads, civilization.

The closest river is in the opposite direction of that house.

Why my dreams insist on misplacing the river, I doubt I'll ever know. Just like I'll never know why my dream self is so desperate to escape that house: I'm running to hide, to get away; I'm running because something is chasing me.

But the what, the who, is never present, not really. And even when the dream starts differently, ends differently, I can always expect trees or a river to greet me

Idk if this is different between disordered and non-disordered plurals (or if it even has anything to do with plurality) but even though I have DID I need to ask.

You ever get weird recurring dreams, but like… not 100% a repeat? Like maybe the location is the exact same and the people? It keeps happening to us, and it’s a fairly recent thing.

I just know dreams get funky when you’re plural.

That's interesting. I think my host has had recurring dreams before I got here. But I think they've usually been months apart rather than right near each other. A lot of our dreams do carry over locations and characters.

I think recurring dreams that are slightly different isn't really plural weirdness but just like, normal dream weirdness.

My new recurring dream appears to be that I own an aviary full of exquisitely beautiful finches, graceful doves and jewel-toned songbirds that I forget about, and by the time I remember to tend it, half of the birds have starved to death. I am devastated by this both in the dream, and when I wake up.

I think it might mean that the creativity I used to define myself by is stagnating because I almost never indulge it. I'm afraid that particular part of me is dying and I can't muster the motivation to do anything about it.
