For the past few years (3 or 4 years), i've been having the same settings in my dreams. i've seen them often enough now where i can actually go ahead and describe them very well, as if i lived there, or something like that. i've actually gone ahead and atempted to paint a few of them- which didn't turn out well, being that i'm no painter, lol. all together, i would say that there are 9 seperate places that i now know very well, yet have never been to any of them in real life.

i was just wondering if there was any point to why i have such detailed settings in my dreams, but, rarely do i ever do anything in my dream. it seems like all i do in the entire dream is recognize that i know this place very well, and pick up on the same details over and over again.

it seems like there's 2 things that happen anytime anything does happen-

first, im being chased. by who? i haven't got a clue... i don't know why im being chased either. it always seems like i've escaped from the chaser, and know how to get away (i know the hiding spots, where to move to next, etc.) those dreams never end with me successfully getting away, or getting caught. i always wake up in the middle of them.

the second type of dream i keep having is me drowning. ill be on the beach, and suddenly a wave will strike me down. i can feel myself spiraling under water, not knowing which way is the surface. i can feel my heart beating faster and faster as i continue to hold my breath. most times, ill wake up panting, and my heart will feel like it wants to jump out of my chest. once, i didn't wake up in time. as i was under water, i finally had to gasp for air.. and it worked. i can remember sitting there underwater, breathing just fine. at that moment, the dream was over.. i woke up, again, gasping for air.

sorry for the long post!!! i've searched around online, and have found some definitions of a few things, but figured i'd let you guys take a look and let me know if anything sounds important to pay attention to, or anything like that. thanks guys!
