same old thing every time, ruining my dreams! what does it mean?

Almost every single dream I've ever had has been of epic proportions, and the characters are always people I know. Often there will be hundreds of the people I've met over the years playing a part in the dream.

More importantly people who were close to me when I was younger, in particular my old best friend, her family and my friends from school, are almost always there. It's becoming to the point where I'm embarassed that I'm dreaming about these people who I no longer have contact with and yet seem so close to in the dream world.

Other than that, the same recurring themes come up in my dreams every night; being unable to open my eyes, not being able to write, not being able to find my way. That part is pretty easy to figure out.

Lately I've been dreaming about poltergeists too. Last night the poltergeist took the form of Tom Cruise (?!) and sometimes it's just invisible. One night my cat suddenly doubled, and one of them started making weird noises (obviously the poltergeist cat!).

Often my old friends will help me combat the poltergeist or figure out how to do what is troubling me.

Anyway, it's just getting pretty old to keep having these people and frustrating things happening in my otherwise awesome epic adventure dreams. I just wonder what it all means.

Concerning myself, I am not having any particular problems at the moment, I'm happier than I've been in years. I am moving out of home soon and going away for the summer also.

Any interpretations welcome.
