Part One
People: Sometimes I have dreams that are full of real people, sometimes I have dreams with one or two people I actually know, and sometimes I have dreams where no one person stands out at all (like I'm alone). When I recall seeing someone I knew in my dream, it wasn't that I recognized them or that they actually were themselves, but I just know "Oh, that's ___". I usually don't notice what people look like at all in dreams, but mostly location and items.
Places: I always know where I am in dreams, even if the place isn't real or accurate. In my dreams my house is always on the opposite side of the street from where it usually is, but everything else stays the same. I often have dreams about the park walking distance to my house even though I barely go there anymore. About a month ago I had a dream that involved me living/working in San Fransisco but the setting wasn't San Fransisco AT ALL... I just thought "Oh, it's San Fransisco". I have no idea why this happens. So basically, I always know where I am even if the place I'm thinking of as a place isn't accurate to the real life version.
Plots: I can kind of see where the plots are coming from (usually). I can easily connect the two dreams posted above to things that have been happening in real life. Only when dreams are extremely surreal do I not find a connection. I've had dreams where I'm sitting in my room and all of a sudden my dad runs in and shouts, "It's cereal time!" and when I go into the kitchen the table is just covered in a mountain of frosted cheerios. I don't see the connection with dreams like this, but I see the connection in *sane* ones.
