I'll start.
I have two reoccurring dreams. But by far, the most common one is that I am far from home. Usually penniless, but not always. Usually driving some sort of homemade go cart type vehicle or a really sickly motorcycle of some sort.
Some times I'm on foot. Sometimes without shoes and occasional buck naked.
I'm always trying to find Intetstate 95 so that I can go south towards home. But if I do encounter people in my dreams, it's like an apocalyptic world and no one knows where it is. Or what the current location is.
It's always dusk. Or very dark.
I never do find I-95.
So odd

ok, I'll give one of mine. So, idk why, but pretty much every dream I have has some sort of monster in it. Vampire, zombie, werewolf, etc. Idk if its because I like reading/ watching / listening to spooky things or if im just weird. Either are valid options ?
So here it goes.
It starts off at my dads old 2 story house he had in a country town. We'd go there every other weekend for the joint custody. I was actually there when I had this dream which threw me off a bit when I finally woke up. Anyway, in the dream I wake up in bed and I need to go to the bath room. I get up, zombie walk there and sit down to do what you gotta do. There is a window above the sink that I can clearly see out of and the bathroom is above the covered sun room, so it's flat right there and you can walk on it. So I'm staring out of the window zoned out while on the toilet and slowly a shadow starts to go in front of the window. At first I'm confused, then terrified! Its a werewolf! Like the ones from the werewolf in Paris movie if any one knows that one. I freeze and watch it in terror thinking this is it. I'm dying on the toilet. (Funny now, not then lol) it sniffs around and makes that chuffing noise then keeps walking past the window, never looking at me. So I leap off the toilet, and dart into my room. I peek out of the window to see if i can still see it, but I cant. As I try looking around the area I can see from that window I catch movement. I realize there are werewolves everywhere! They are on the other ppls houses and running around the streets! Almost like a zombie movie would start off... then, the dream perception changes and its almost hazy, like they depict ppl on a drug trip in movies lol. I walk down the stairs and open the front door and walk outside! At first they pay no attention to me, they are too busy sniffing out ways to get into the houses. I keep walking into the large front yard towards said houses. Finally one sees me and darts towards me. I think, ok I'm done, I'm dead, but im not scared. Just hazy. When it gets to me though it stops and just sniffs me. Its snarling, but not really at me. Just as a general noise. Then it brushes against me and walks off... as I walk down the middle of the street they all swarm. But don't attack. Just move out of my way as I walk. They are coming out of the woods that boarders our house. I do see blood, but no ppl... then, in the middle of the road is a GIANT one. Its just standing there in a firm pose. When I get to it it stares at me and then I reach out and touch it. Then I wake up in my bed at my dad's.
I had this dream when I was about 16 or 17 and it was VERY vivid and I have not been able to forget it in all these years. It is stuck with me. Its so weird and random, but I cant shake it. I catch myself thinking about it from time to time not knowing what to make of it. Maybe if it wasn't so vivid I would have forgotten it by now. ?‍♀️

I've had some of the usual dreams most people experience, driving and the brakes don't work, or running away from someone and it feels like running in molasses.

I have had many reoccurring dreams since I was a child. When I was little I dreamed I had a magic red jacket. It had a zipper, and I could fly, and the higher I raised the zipper the higher I would fly, or pull down on the zipper to fly lower. That one was fun for many years.

I have another that I still occasionally dream. I'm around 6-7 years old and am at a house (that I've never seen IRL). I'm standing at the top of a spiral staircase that is of polished wood, very slippery. I have on pj's and socks. I go down 2 or 3 steps and am seized with terror of sliding and falling down the stairs. I wrap my arms around the balustrade and can't move because of the terror. I wake up from the fright.

I also suffer from periodic nightmares since I was 1 year old. I'll have horrible nightmares 4-5 times a week for about a month, which I have a tendency to act out. My poor husband was punched, scratched, slapped, kicked, sworn at and generally abused while he would be trying to wake me up. I would wake for a moment, then go right back into the nightmare. Sometimes this would go on for an hour or so. Poor guy!

I’ve had the strangest dreams but my favourite one involved me at a casino playing cards, doesn’t sound weird until I tell you that everyone playing including the card dealer was a human size tortoise with fancy clothes on and top hats... I spend way to much time with torts :eek:

I have to be careful about what I expose my overactive imagination to... as monsters and thriller movies would often fuel a new set of "chase" (being chased) dreams.

The feeling of much of what you mentioned is familiar to me from my dreams, but I've never encountered a "big boss" in my dreams before.

It was so weird lol. I like how you put it though. 'Big boss' that makes sense. Im always encountering some sort of creature, but usually its very mild. Only a handful of times have i been chased. I dont like those... monsters are really good at that game...its gotta be all my crime/ monster stuffs lol

I did have a dream one time my husband's ex wife showed up and he just said, ok bye! I'm leaving! And just left with her draped all over him. I woke up so mad and I was just staring at him trying not to smack him for something I know he didn't do ?

I think flying dreams are the most common.
When I fly, it's only 5 or 6 feet off the ground and very slowly.
People are never shocked or frightened. In fact they often follow me. Trying to grab at me.
Once I dreamed I had an act in Las Vegas and I flew around as the act.
It was so vivid that when I woke up I remember telling myself that all I needed to do now was learn how to fly and I'd be rich!
It seemed simple and logical at that moment.

I've had a reoccurring dream from time to time ever since I was a kid. Same dream and I wake up at the same time during the dream each time. I haven't told to many people about it and honestly I've debated whether to even post it here. In the dream I'm a kid, about 9-10 years old. I was about that age when I first had the dream. I'm down the street from the house I grow up in around the corner I see a bright flash of light. I go to look around the house on the corner of my street and I see two aliens. Standing in the middle of the street. I start backing up and they start coming towards me. So I turn around and run but as I turn around to look while running they're still right behind me. I get to my neighbors front yard one house away and stop running. When I turn around again they're still right behind me. At this point I'm cowering and they reach forward to grab me, and then I wake up. Same dream over and over and I always wake up right when they try to grab me. I know it sounds nuts and that's why I haven't told to many people about it.

If it makes you feel any better, I only watched a handful of (occasional) episodes of The X Files. And one I watched -- probably the last one I ever watched -- had an alien abduction near the end of it, with a character on a Red Eye flight disappearing... Basically with the plane getting intercepted and sent on its way, minus the one passenger removed by the encounter that no one remembered.

I grew up in a rural area without much light pollution at night, and there are a LOT of stars against a very dark background in places like that.

And yes, that particular episode shaped my dreams for a long time after that. Not fun.

Thats scary. Idk about you, but to me, aliens are way more unsettling than any cryptid. Maybe because I give them a bigger chance of being out there? Idk... especially as a kid... gives me the heebie jeebies.

I have had this weird recurring nightmare since I was 8 years old. It is really creepy. I am in my mom’s old old car and I am driving down the long driveway to my grandmother’s house. I hear a scream and I see this reptilian humanoid creature with spikes down his back, burst out of a window, run across the side of the house on all fours and burst in through another window. I for some reason, run into the house to see a very disturbing scene of my grandparents dead and in the blinds. It was kinda traumatizing as a little kid.

I occasionally have dreams (nightmares?) that I'm out in public and am naked. I'm humiliated by people pointing and laughing. The clothes are gone for different reasons...a prank at a swimming hole, stolen, I don't remember where I left them ?. The whereabouts of them is not important in the dream...it's the shame.

I've also, in my dreams, lived the horror of going out in public without my partial denture. Serious trauma!

You guys have way better dreams than I do. I’ve had a recurring dream where I am in an elevator specifically in a building at Arizona State University it was life sciences building. It was five floors but it had a basement and sub basement. When I was going up the elevator the elevator car suddenly started plummeting to the ground and I die at the end of the dream with an explosion of bright light and pain and at that point I wake up. It’s not a fun dream.
