Re: Your most common dreams?
A lot of the above plus big sprawling mansions, shopping malls with car parks, university libraries, sometimes hospitals and frequently schools. Since I am a teacher by profession, I teach a lot in my dreams or I'm the student or both.
I'm rarely my age (44), regardless of what I'm doing. Usually I'm just young (16-20). A lot of the same characters turn up, in addition to people I do know. I have been female (which I am), male and various races and shapes. I've never been old.
If I dream police I have to watch out because the likelihood of a speeding ticket or parking fine the very next day is strong. The last time I dreamt this, I got a warning from the local ranger because my dog had gotten out. Every other time, the situation shown in the dream has arisen in a way that corresponds quite strongly.
Lately I've been in the ocean swimming a lot. Very nice. Whales and dolphins are an absolute favourite but monkeys perplex me on occasion.
I have stress dreams about my dog.
Occasionally I dream yoga asanas and once dreamed I was doing a posture I'd been struggling with in real life. After the dream, I was able to do the posture so there was a nice bit of processing going on there.
Never dreamed zombies (though I helped my son analyse a zombie dream the other night) but I do occasionally dream ghosts and aliens. They don't seem to scare me these days. Bad men (kidnappers, murderers, rapists) do, however, but I haven't had many of those.
My favourite dreams turn into grand musical numbers, with great lyrics and dance moves. They don't happen nearly often enough nor do the superpower type dreams.
I draw more in my dreams than in real life and the drawings often move and change.
I have cleaning dreams and dreams where I'm taking plant cuttings.
