Recurring non-lucid dream

**DreamHighlander** · 06-19-2013 03:51 PM

Many years ago (in the 80's, I was a child then), i had a dream (not lucid), a recurrent one that lasted a few years. I had it not everyday, fortunately, but maybe I should have dreamed it about 20 times during five years.

I'm on the street next to my house. At the end of the road, far away, i see a big ball of light. It approaches me. Somehow I know that if i touch it, i die. I rush home and close the door. After a few seconds, the ball comes to the door and begins to force it. On the other side there's me holding for the door not to open. I can see a little light through the keyhole. This was always the dream.
In some dreams the door opens, the ball touches me and i wake up. At the time, i gave this ball the name "Pinha", which is portuguese for "Pine Cone".
I never knew the meaning of this dream, why i started to have it or why i stopped having it. What do you think of this?
Do you also had or have recurring dreams for a long time?

Hi Dream-Highlander

If you go to this link and look at the cached version...for ease of finding a reference to balls of light (coloured green in the cache) you'll see that it's apparently a common occurance in SP

Thank you for the link. I read something there about balls of light, but it talks more about hallucinations or, as you said, SP. My ball of light was like a dream character inside the dream.

Ball of white light in Dream? - Yahoo! Answers How about this? Of course, that might be you who asked the question! In fact, if you Google "ball of light in dream" I think you'll find it's quite a common occurance

Yes, thanks. That's more close to what i've experienced. I didn't know it was so common. I guess i have to find my interpretation of it.

I had many reccuring dreams when I was younger but there 2 in particular that I have never forgotten. Both of these dreams were terrifying, although one more so than the other. The first of these dreams occured when I was a young child. I was dreaming that I was in my house and I was crawling around. Suddenly I looked up and saw my parents room. I tried to walk/crawl towards it , however, everytime I advanced the room got farther away. I kept trying but the room continue to move beyond my reach. Soon a feeling of great fear washed over me, fear of abadonment. I would quickly wake up soon afterwards. The second dream, the scariest out of the two, occured when I was slightly older. I found my self in a desert-like area. Suddenly my vision changed and I was observing a witch clad in black robes and armed with a bow an arrow. I would see that she was aiming ata poor shop keeper who was trying to make a living selling cabages. I felt a great sense of pity on this man. Suddenly I realized the witch was going to kill the man. I could see the light gleaming off the steel-tipped arrow but I could do nothing. I could only watch her let go off the arrow. I would always wake up before the arrow hit it's mark. I'm not entirely sure why this dream frightened me so much, but it did. Anyway, I kept having these dreams from time to time but after a few years they stopped. Reccuring dreams are completely natural and seem to happen more often when we are children than adults.
