      Common dream themes

      For years I've dreamed of a zombie apocalypse.

      But in those dreams I rarely see zombies.

      A few days ago I finally had the common sense to wonder: Why do I have this recurrent dream theme?

      And even tho it is a very prevalent theme, I rarely RC because I am too anxious to do so.

      My thoughts: my most recent one has come during a turbulent time in my life, where I'm unsure who to turn to. Even loved ones can turn into zombies who are then your enemy. Psychoanalyzing myself leads me to believe this theme is an inherent distrust of the people around me, and that everyone is out to hurt me. The fact that I rarely see zombies makes me think that this anxiety is mostly in my head.

      Other common dream themes: time loops (same event occurring over and over), and dreams taking place at my mother's house.

      Ever have a theme where it took you forever and a half to start questioning yourself why you have that theme?

      Being chased and hunted down is a really common dream theme. Given they are now zombies doing the chasing says a lot I think about the effect culture has on how we see these universal themes. As you said, zombies also have the added element of being capable of being loved ones that turn on you, another pretty common theme in history.

      Like you, it took me a long time to realize being in my childhood home is a dream sign for me and still to this day I never realize it or think it strange, even though it's been over 10 years since I even saw the place last. Go to show I suppose.
