Thread: Feeling Of Reoccuring Dreams

I know the sensation you are talking about.

Are you keeping a dream journal at all? Have you ever looked back to see if these dreams are actually repeats, or if your sleeping mind only thinks it is?

Whenever this happens to me, I can't find anywhere in my DJ that I've had that dream before - of course, I may have had that dream but didn't remember it and therefore didn't record it at the time, but it's just a guess...

^ yeah it feels sooo much like part of a dream ive already had, but then I almost know that it hasnt happened



I am in the process of starting my dream journal back


I have a difficult time sticking with things and the dream journal is extremely hard for a few reasons

I hate getting up, when i do i usually hit my alarm a few times, I cant remember to write them down
I have class and spend the least amount of time needed to get ready for classes


but I am going to try, I might end up taping a reminder ontop of my alarm so Ill have to think about it

I think I follow at least I think

I know that a lot of times in dreams I remember something from a previous dream. like I will say "ohh this landscape is from an older dream" or "this bad guy was from a nightmare years ago!"

but when I wake up, I cant remember ANY of those things being apart of a previous dream. And my dream journal, although its missing months at a time was started when I was ten. That was over ten years ago. I've got years written!

I cant tell if while dreaming I make up things and simply believe they are from previous dreams, or if while I am dreaming I can somehow remember old dreams I cant while awake....I dont know!

I think I can relate to this.

I am PLAGUED by recurring dreams and virtually every second dream I have feels likes it's a continuation of some ongoing theme.

A lot of them I can definately say are related to dreams I've had before but there's a good number in which all I have is a vague sense of dream-Deja Vu.

This is partly my fault as I don't keep a dream journal, or at least, I only write my dreams down about once a month. (I too have the getting up problem.)

I definately think keeping a regular journal is probably the answer though. I'm making a real effort to stick with mine now so I guess we'll just have to see if it works.
