Thread: Remembrance in dreams?

Yeah, sometimes I get strange deja vu sensations in dreams. I recall this notable dream where I was in a mall running from some bad guys, and even though I wasn't necessarily lucid, I thought, "I've dreamed this before... Last time I got caught when I tried to run, so maybe I'll hide behind a couch instead". I did this and the bad guys ran right past me, not noticing my presence at all. Of course, when I woke up I realized that I'd never actually been there before. I did have a strong sense of remembrance though, and I knew exactly where everything was in the mall.

I have experiences like this every once in a while but not often. However, a while back I had a dream in which I remember a previous dream which I did not remember upon waking up. It's a little hard to explain but my mind pretty much created a memory of a previous dream I had never had. Maybe this is extreme deception? lol

I've noticed my dreams sometimes take place in the same environment as a previous dream, such as a house or a shopping mall that doesn't exist in waking life. Occasionally as I'm falling asleep I'll remember a dream that I had seemingly months ago, or at least a long time previous that I'd forgotten until that moment. I'll just get a vision of some place that I only know from my particular dreamscape.

I have had reoccuring dreams of two differant temples and a cave that had multiple families living in it. One of the temples was very distinct. It was cut into a cliff side and you had to climb about 15 feet to get to the ledge. The ledge had a couple pillers and a set of double doors. Behind the doors was a chamber with a statue. The dreams also showed the location of the temple as always being on the north side of a large green valley. That temple appeared in maybe 20 dreams over the years. I suspect it may have been some kind of past life thing.

i've definitely had this before. it's like my dream self has a past and memory of it's own. And sometimes it intertwines with my life in real life too!

I kind of get this, at the moment with places not sure but in terms of knowing how to do stuff yeah, at times I've had dreams that I'm driving a car really well, so when I woke up I gave it ago bare in mind I cannot drive and I didint know how to drive in waking life, that goes for other stuff aswell

Actually while I was typing it there have been places that in my dreams I know the place like the back of my hand, but as I wake up I think "never been there"

Yeah, all the time. I'll think "oh, x lives here" while walking past a house or something like that. I seem to know so much more in my dreams, though I question the reliability of it all.
