I've had all of my dreams before...

About 90% of all of my dreams are recurring to some extent, but I have so many- I just had one last night that I've had atleast two times before. Sometimes in my dreams the recurring imagry from two or more combine into a third new dream. Does anybody else do this, and what could it mean? My biggest reason for learning Lucid Dreaming is to explore them at will and try and understand why I've been having them Its important to note that the same thing doesn't happen every time, just that the setting is the same or the plot is taken from one and put into another.

Originally posted by Tattoo About 90% of all of my dreams are recurring to some extent Dreams often find their basis in signficant past experiences. And unless your life doesn't drastically change, there are good chances you'll explore the same plot and settings over and over, albeit with different variations (due to your residual day-to-day experiences)

One possibility is that you have extra good dream recall. If it's not that, then is must just be your structure. Like the weather being different from one part of the world to another, so also might be the dreams of individuals people.
