Recurring dreams! Does anyone else have them?

I had them as a child. Would wake up and be on a battlefield. Eyes open I could hear the bombs and screams. Could see the lights flashing overhead. It was real. Like I was there. It always started the same. On a tennis court. A huge tennis court. Then it would crumple into a green piece if paper. Haven't had that one in years. Started another in my adult life a few years back. More real to life as my wife and I help anyone we can. Which sometimes is our downfall. A younger Hispanic homeless girl with 3 kids. She comes to stay with us and the children's father always shows up. 3 guns in hand. I take 2 guns away but that 3rd one is always there. He grabs his sleeping daughter and puts the gun to her head. We all plead for her saftey and as I lunge to thrust my knife in his throat I always wake up. I know it deals with something internal as most dreams do. Just wish I could figure it out. I do watch a lot of horror and gore so that may attribute to it sometimes but I'm not sure either.

So does anyone else in their adult life still have recurring dreams. You don't have to share them. Just want to know if others have them as well.

I still have a couple but they come less often now. In one I've had since I can remember I'm trapped in a building and have to run up a narrow stone staircase with no rails, I always wake up before I reach the top and to this day have no idea who/what has terrified me. That one only comes now during a bout of high stress or deep depression.

I used to have a few of them when I was a kid. I had a lot of nightmares. They all involved monsters that could morph into a human and I was the only one that would know. Nobody believed me.

It was either that or I'd see a humanesque bat running from room to room in our house but I was unable to speak. I would just point and shout but no noise came out.

I was blamed for a lot of things I didn't do as a kid. By my parents, school or authority figures. That's why as an adult, I cannot stand liars or people that don't take responsibility for their actions. Makes my blood boil. It's hard for me to even watch a movie where a person cries wolf to no avail or a mystery movie where someone is framed.

As an adult, I don't remember any of my dreams. I used to think I just don't have them but apparently if you didn't dream, you'd be dead. After all the horrible dreams I had in my past, I'm very glad I don't remember them anymore.

I had two main ones as a kid, and one of them continues to this day, though I only have it every couple of years now, rather than once a month or whatever.

I’ll be kickback at home and I start hearing really loud combat noises and explosions. I look out the window and “army men” and assault helicopters have the place surrounded and are spying on me

Driving a car on a straight road with hills that get progressively bigger, to the point the car goes airborne. Each one higher and higher till the big one launches me to the clouds and then it's a standard falling dream, wake up before I land/crash.
The other is something is trying get me in a dark place. Unable to open my eyes to see, unable to yell.
Now that I'm older it's pretty rare that I have these but every once in awhile.
I also, do not remember my dreams as much as I used to.

Very odd. I have this one. I have to hold onto the steering wheel to stay in the car, though.

The only other one I have is about my dad. For the longest time he wouldn't speak, only point at things. Later, it became single words only. Pretty sure I understand why I have this one, though.

Target spotted. Squonk hoarder is in site. Go get em boys.

Maybe you're seeing into the future when vaping is outlawed. Like books in fahrenheit 451.

It's been a few years since I've talked to my oldest. She lives 30 minutes away.

As a war-weathered combat veteran, recurring nightmares are part and parcel of life. The dreams are always the same and are quite unsettling. The details of these recurring dreams are unnecessary to be shared in this setting. Their impact on my day-to-day wellbeing however, required that I take measures to curtail the effects, if not the dreams themselves. Together, my mental health professionals and I developed a treatment plan and found a medication called Prazosin that all but eliminated these nighttime visions of my endless war...during the war the enemy was a physical reality...after the war the enemy is psychological, but not one ounce less real than the physical one...

Same issue with mine, don't know how it ever got this way, now we can't seem to get past the block.

My parents are both gone. When one passes, you still have the other. When they're both gone it leaves a hole that can never be filled. Spend time with them if you still can, you will only regret not later.

Truer words. Mom passed in 95, Dad and Step-Mom in 2005. Sometimes you just wanna talk to your parents, no matter your age. They'd always have the answer, so that gets frustrating. I hope that fence can get mended with your daughter, too. <3

For years I had / have a reoccurring dream. A man I have never met/knew is in my dreams ransacking my home and then shoots me in the Head. He either believes I'm dead or simply moves on..I find myself talking myself through it and getting myself to a phone to call for help. I always wake up when I get to the phone. It seems like an eternity just getting to the phone.

It tends to make me pay attention to certain men I casually cross paths with. Dark hair slim build roughly 25-35.

No,, you have not stirred any bad feeling for me,,,I take solace in the end of the dream,,I know I will be ok if I get to the phone.. and I do and I wake up.

With all that said years ago I had a real stalker,,but the police back then didn't believe in stalkers so I was on my own even when the neighbors caught him at my apartment. Police blamed old boyfriend,,, nope... I ended up moving in with an ex boyfriend so I could relocate. Thank goodness for him.

Then years later a man tried to drag me into his van,,,what he got was racked and as much punching as I could hand out.

I've had several recurring dreams. I make myself forget them, if I don't I would never sleep. Then I dream them again and remember, LOL.
But, I also have had a lot of dreams / nightmares come to reality. I also dream of other people... Like, one time...had a boyfriend, was at his apartment with a female friend of mine (not a friend anymore) . I didn't know this at the time... They were in his kitchen and they made out. I truly thought they were just talking (trusted both of them) . A week or two later, I dreamed that they were in his kitchen making out. I asked my friend about it, LOL, you should have seen her face :eek: she was in disbelief that I knew and how I found out....through a dream. Another one....in the dream, I was looking at a newly remolded log cabin, it was beautiful, and the other part of the dream, I was buying indian moccasins. Real life....went on vacation, on the way back stopped at a Indian trade store. The owner and I started a conversation. He talked about his newly remoled log cabin, he described it to a T....the same as in my dream. In my mind I was like.... WOW ! And, the moccasins, the gal that had them made for her, same size as my feet :) never went in to buy them, so I purchased them :cool:
The most devastating one was seeing my dad (step dad) dying :( . There are several several more dreams / nightmares that have turned to reality. But, I've blah blah blahed enough.

Any time I have recurring dreams, it means I need to be aware of an imminent threat to my existence. I have had more than a dozen dreams come true, some so vivid that I could draw scenes from them.

Of course, as I fall from the house I dreamed very often, especially in my childhood. Also ex-girlfriends constantly dreaming
