If I'm understanding you correctly, what you're saying is very interesting to me. Your town is actually going to change locations in some way? What does that mean?

Well, this town's economy is based on mining(iron) And after several years of mining, the ground where my city stands gets to unstable and there are several big cracks. So the city is being moved. Everything that is worth moving that is.

Wow, amazing stuff. Thanks for explaining it.

The literal uprooting of your town is something that is likely (IMO) to be on your mind a lot in the coming days. When you find yourself thinking of it, perhaps take the time to examine your reality and situation. How did you get where you are? Does what you're doing make sense? Is your rational mind buying what it sees? This may not be the last time this theme occurs to you in a dream.

Just a thought. Best of luck with your dreaming and all of the change going on for you.

Thanks, for the advices and i don't even think it was the first dream on the subject. The weird part is that it is not being moved right NOW , and i will probably not even live here when it does happen. So it seems so strange that it's even on my mind :/

That's interesting, but it does seem pretty normal to me. I think that we become attached to the permanence of places, particularly the places that we've lived.

I remember visiting the house that my grandparents used to live in and finding that the house's barn had been burned up in a fire. Even though it wasn't a place that they or anyone I knew lived anymore, it felt like someone was gouging at the memories I had attached to that place. As if when the place burned, some small part of my past was lost with it. The truth, of course, is that the mind is the real caretaker of the past, not some old burned-out building. But it was an odd feeling.

I think it's partially because we base so much of our memory structure around geography. The "memory palace" or "method of Loci" is an excellent mnemonic technique that uses this principle:

So interesting about your town Adam O_O I wonder now, that your testing is done, if this will work its way into your dreams.

That's interesting CanisLucidus. I just had an LD this morning where I visited my parents' home. It ends up in my dreams alot. Even more so now that they're selling it.

Sounds good, Adam! Good luck tonight.

Hey wow, very cool! On the 9th, I also had an LD that started out in my parents' house. I'll check it out in your DJ.

Those old maps in our brains may fade a little, but it seems like we carry them around forever.

It is weird how we tend to dream of particular places, even thought we haven't been there in a while :O I for an example often dream of my old school, that i haven't gone to in 4 years.

Lucid dream talk now! I had a medium low level lucidity tonight, where i even got the clarity to try and make it clearer by rubbing my palms. I don't exactly remember what i did after that... I remember that i had a sleep paralysis after that, and i tried to make it into a lucid dream. But the more i tried to get out of my physical body the more i felt pressure on my chest.

WOW that's what happened to a town near here. Picher, Oklahoma, USA. They had too much lead and too many sinkholes. I never went there but it was all over the news. Actually this whole region was built over abandoned mines. I'd hate to live here if the New Madrid fault line ever gives us a big earthquake. Supposedly we are over due. Ah well that was a bit of topic.
