Kleptomania in dreams...?
Okay, so this is something that has recently been ongoing and very odd for me.
Lately over the past 2 weeks I've been having dreams where I'm stealing merchandise from stores and getting away with it.
I have never stolen from a store in real life, nor have I ever exactly wanted to.
I went to an anime convention around July 8th, and there my friend's girlfriend stole a corset..I was amazed, honestly.
Then a week later I had a dream I was at the same convention center and I stole little bits of merchandise. I didn't get caught.
Two days later I had a dream I was at the convention center again and I stole more and was a little more daring. I never got caught.
Yet again, more like 5 days later I dreamt that I was at the same convention center (the floorplan of the place was different every time) and I had stolen much more, and there was a security gate at the exit- it started beeping like crazy when I passed through and I managed to get in a car and speed away without getting caught again.
Now just last night I had a dream I was at Wal-Mart (wow, a different place) and I dreamt that I was buying some things. I saw a bag of dice (like, RPG dice) and I had a strange urge to steal it, it was something that was very hard to control. Eventually I planned to empty the bag into my sweatshirt pockets and that way it couldn't be traced. Except when I was doing it I was clumsy and I didn't notice the surveillance cameras, a LOT of them above my aisle. A security guy came and reprimanded me but I still managed to leave with half the dice.
Why do I keep dreaming about being such a klepto?! I think maybe it's because I was amazed at how my friend's girlfriend could do it, but why would I keep dreaming obsessively about it? I'm scared the urge to steal is going to pass over into the real world...
