Last week there were lots of interesting Traditions and Customs that I learnt about for the first time! Thank you to everyone who had interesting things to tell me about either national customs, or just personal/family tradiitons! It was actually quite interesting to know about all these individual things that make up the flavour of a country or a family! I think I got around to replying and upvoted all the valid entries (except for @theironfelix, who seems determined to catch me off guard, next time I be more alert for your last minute entry!).
This week... I want to ask if anyone else has recurring dreams (or not!)... or perhaps you don't dream or don't remember your dreams! Perhaps, I'm a little curious because I'm just not getting enough sleep these days... so that I start to feel like real life is a slightly surreal dream!
My Question
Do you dream (or remember your dreams)?
Do you have one that keeps coming up and what is it?
My sample answer
I tend not to dream... or at least not to remember anything! That said, I seem to get my best sleep these days on trains, buses and planes... and cars, if I'm not driving!
.... however, that said, I do have this one dream that keeps visiting me once a month or so...
As a bit of a background, I'm a violinist, but I had originally studied Theoretical Physics in university.
So, my dream essentially has me showing up either at university or at some sort of conference... suddenly realising that I am completely unprepared! Either I haven't done my preparation work for some exam or assignment... or that I'm completely out of my depth for the conference!
However, the interesting thing is that a similar situation happens in reverse. I find myself on stage, suddenly realising that I have no idea how to play the instrument in my hands.... I guess in that timeline, I've decided to take the science route!
Either way, it is a feeling of panic as I suddenly realise that I'm going to be completely unprepared and that I have no way of winging my way out of the situation!
That said, I don't really read much into... when I wake, I have a moment of wondering if I am a musician or a scientist, but that generally passes!
Rules
- Upvote if you want, it increases the payout and then I can hopefully sponsor more people.
- Resteem is NOT neccessary, but the more people see this, the more the people will be likely to be sponsored.
- In the comments, answer as best as you can the questions that are posed in the "My Questions"!
- I have added a small Steem-Bounty to the post, so that everyone who replies with a valid entry will get something back. If I give your post a small upvote, it is valid (also, subscribe to @dustsweeper for maximum benefit!).
- I will be sponsoring as many people as this post pays out in liquid SBD/STEEM. Also I will kick in at least the required amount to round up to the full number. Winner is by random generator after a shortlisting of quality comments!
Steem Basic Income
One of the first communities that I came in contact with at the beginning of my time at Steemit was @steembasicincome. As a author starting out on your fresh new Steemit account, Steemit can be a daunting and lonely place to be. OFten, it can feel like you are posting into an abyss with no one listening and with no ability to grow out of the situation. A share of Steem Basic Income gives you a guaranteed vote on one post a day, thus giving you a small but over time cumulative support to your account to help grow you out of your initial wilderness!
With this post, I want to help sponsor people who might not even have the spare 1 STEEM that is required for registration. So, when this post pays out, I will sponsor people depending on the payout of this post. Basically, I will round up the SBD payout from this post and then that will be the number of people I will sponsor. (So, if the payout is 2.3 SBD, I will sponsor 3 people). OF course, this is not simply an altruistic move, as the sponsor of a Steem Basic Income share also gets a share, so it is a great way to help others whilst helping yourself!
Last week's winners
The last post paid out 1.299 SBD and 0 STEEM in liquid earnings. So, that would make 2 shares.
The winners by random draw are:

Posted from my blog with SteemPress : http://www.gamerjokerbreadder.com/2018/11/18/steem-basic-income-giveaway-recurring-dreams/
Since I was a small kid I had a dream of a very beautiful woman running up some steps to a doorway where I stood in the dark. She had her hair in a pony tail was wearing paint stained clothes and a big smile. It was blazingly hot and was very bright outside. The steps were narrow, old worn concrete it weeds growing to the side.
I nearly wet myself when I was in Cyprus and this beautiful woman came running up the steps and said hello. I mumbled something incoherent back totally stunned.
That is a really odd dream that keeps coming to you! Funny that it reflected itself in real life, I bet you were completely confused!
It was the dream made real. It still resonates.

I always remember most of my dreams- especially the minute details like, the number of buttons on the clothes people wear in them.
One of the recurring dreams that I had these past few weeks was that of me falling down. As an Asian, that usually is very upsetting as we tend to put a lot of meaning to dreams especially to recurring ones.
I am still a bit upset and nervous on what my dream may mean in real life but as of now, nothing bad so far happened to me. Another added fact, I just want to share that anyone falling in their dream would mean that they will either suffer failure or life changing experiences with negative consequences. I don't know if its true. Hopefully, its not.
Wow, that is impressive that you can remember your dreams in so much detail! I wouldn't put too much store in the predictive nature of dreams! It is like fortune-telling, you can find a good deal of confirmation bias in the interpretation of "cause and effect"!
PS: I only just noticed your reply, next time, reply to the top level post not one of the other replies! It's hard to find, but I did mark it as a valid entry and it is in the draw!

Yes, I do dream, but the sad thing is I don't remember them sometimes, only few I get to remember, and when I did, they are actually warning, a prediction of what is going to happens next. Those dreams I do remember, I do go on my knees to thank God for it. It's a blessing to remember dream.
I don't have a reoccurring dream, what's that for anyway.

I too have a degree in Physics, however mine is only at the Bachelor's level. My desire was to do Theorectical Physics at CU-Boulder with Dr Andrew Hamilton, studying General Relativity. No, I don't set my goals high ;)
I definitely dream. Occasionally I remember my dreams, but when I do they're a bit on the "holy crap where did that come from" side.
My recurring dream is that I'm still in college and it's at the end of my senior semester. I should be graduating soon. But I've forgotten that I had a class, usually a very lower level class, and I didn't realize it until the very last week, so I panic because I have to convince the professor to not fail me or I won't graduate.
I've been out of college for 10 years and it's still affecting me.
Likewise, mine is at a Bachelor Level, but we had already a streaming into a Theoretical stream and the normal stream... and then the baby course with pictures and short words for Engineers! (hehe, old habits die hard!).
It's great to aim high! I got sidetracked after the Bachelors....
I used to have that dream as well! The feeling that you are up for assessment, and you just realised you didn't attend any classes or anything at all....

I don't dream very often, most nights I have nightmares instead. Its been this way for as long as I can remember.
Many of my nightmares are repetitious. For several months I had one were I was being chased by a pack of vicious mongrels. Doberman looking but different in that weird dream-scape way. I would run, and run, climb, jump, do anything and everything but the ending was always the same. They caught me and I woke up still fighting dream dogs.
2.5 If a nightmare won't do then the closest thing to a dream I have thats reoccurring is one were I'm in a house I remember but was never inside of. There are flashes of drapes fluttering in the sun and other homely sights. Then I'm upstairs walking next to a railing and I come to a door which silently opens of its own volition and I see a girl I don't recognize. I feel a sense of longing and loss and then I wake up. The dream itself is nothing necessarily bad but it always leaves me anxious and upset when I wake up. Very strange.
Wow... nightmares are dreams (I think...). It's a pretty viscous dream that you have there, I hope it doesn't happen too often! Do you wake up flailing around and screaming?
With the dogs, yes. In fact I did so so often, and with such vigor, I believe it was a large part of why my then girlfriend broke up with me.

Most of the time, I don't remember my dreams. There are times when I wake up and think that this was a neat or a weird dream, but I don't have the discipline to write the dream down right away and by morning, I have forgotten everything.
No recurring dreams for me. I think that is a good thing. Since most people I know that have recurring dreams have nightmares. I happily do without them.
Sounds pretty similar to me! Although, I'm pretty sure that I wake up with no memory... but the lack of memory doesn't bother me at all! In fact, I think that given a choice, I might prefer it!
hahaha - me too. I think dreams are there to work things out that are churning around in our subconscious - let them take care of it and I pay attention to things which require conscious thought :)

I am a not-dreamer (or as science says, I just can't be bothered to remember normally).
As that I also have no recurring dreams, but I had one, a nightmare, that was placed in my kindergarden. It was simply a certain brand of candy going nuke (and I mean literally atomic bomb).
Don't ask me how that came together. I first had it 6 years (or even later) after I was out of kindergarden.
Haha... yes, I've heard that that is the case (the not bothering to remember...), although, somehow, I'm very happy to not remember. I find it very cleansing to have a memory-less sleep!
A nuclear lolly (I just can't say candy... sorry!)? That has to be the single most bizarre dream that anyone has mentioned here! It kinda reminds me of Fallout, and the portable nuclear rocket launcher...

Thanx bengy 😃
No problem! Feel free to join the next one!
1- I dream all the time. And I feel and remember all of them. With time I forget some of them but I do recall some dreams from as far back as being before 10 years old.
2- I have never have had one dream come back to me but within years apart. Strange one. Most of the time where a dream somewhat comes back is to be able to finish 'the story' so to speak. Many different dreams continue on which makes it hard to pinpoint which ones continue.
Ones that I do have most often are of zombies. I am killing zombies and I am always in control of my dreams.
The last dream I recall was not so much a nice one. Disease spread over the land and people were like zombies but not. They were just so sick and it was bad. I was trying to find my son. He left with a stranger, a man I never seen before. I was chasing him, driving through chaos and towns emptied, post apocalyptic like. Putting myself in danger trying to find him and each stop, I had just missed him. My heart aching to know that he went through the same dangers and I was not there to protect him. I did catch up but it wasn't enough. Enough for me to see him leave into the man's vehicle and me screaming for him to come back. My son is 7 yrs old. It was a hard dream to have.
Wow... you have a much better memory than me! I barely remember the last week... although, my wife tells me that I'm just not trying hard enough...
Zombie dreams? That sounds awful! Did it start happening after the Walking Dead craze? or is this from before it was trendy to be in a zombie apocalypse?
...but that sounds like a heart breaking dream to have you son breaking away from you. I can imagine that it would be a distressing thing to wake up from!
Actually, I have had plenty of zombie dreams in the past before and after The Walking Dead series. I liked the series but not a die hard fan.
And for memory, I think it goes by what impacts us the most to make a good imprint in our minds. I say that because I lack memory yet my dreams always stick to me. I'm weird like that lol.

I do remember my dreams. I probably remember at least one of my dreams from the night before about half the time.
I also have a few recurring dreams, or at least a few recurring themes in my dreams. One common theme is that in dreams I sometimes get into fights, and while I am trying to throw a punch, it feels like I'm swinging my arms underwater. The punches land extremely weakly.
But the one that plays out almost identically each time (and I'm probably at about a dozen times I've had this dream) is this:
I am in college, in the last semester of my senior year and about to graduate. I wake up one morning on one of the last days of the school year, when suddenly I remember that I enrolled in a class that semester but did not go to a single lecture. The final exam is that day as well. I realize that even if I do go to the final exam and somehow manage to get a decent grade in spite of not having attended a single class, I will still probably fail the course because I skipped the midterm and did not do any of the homework. I realize that I needed this class to graduate, and now I will need to enroll in an extra semester in order to re-take this class. This realization marks the end of the dream.
It's such a panic-inducing dream to me, and I have it about once a year it seems. It's probably the closest thing I get to a nightmare.
I have that EXACT SAME dream!!!
Wow! I used to have that one quite a while back... it's stopped now, but you writing that reminded me of that! (the exam one, not the fighting one!)
With the fighting one, are you flailing around in real life?

I remember my last dream was that i was fucking a girl or having sex with her. it goes wild and a little spanky. The story goes this way, I meet the girl at the club and she was so drunk. Some men approach her, i stop the bad intentions of the mens by saying that she was with me. She is my Bestfriend. It is getting late so i intend to go home but i bring the girl with me because i do not want her to be abused by others due to her state of mind that time. I Put the girl in the sofa and i go to my bed to take a nice sleep. At 3am the girl come in and i suddenly wake up and assist her. I ask her, Are you ok miss?. I assist her in goin back to the sofa but i suddenly step on something and i was slip. Both of us drop down on the floor and the woman suddenly kiss me. I was tempted and attract by her beauty so what happens next was that im having sex with her. I was on the verge of enjoyment in that moment but suddenly i was awaken by the pain from the stick that my father use tow ake me up. The Same Dream keep coming up on the next night but it was not the same girl anymore and it was different scenario but they all ending of having a sex with a woman.
Ummmm... Okay... Well, I guess it does sort make a valid entry... But I'm not sure if I can intelligently comment!

- Dreamy dreams of dreams -
Just got to you in time! So it's was my fault this time if I didn't get to you in good order!
Interesting that you flip around between remembering your dreams and also not remembering! Do you have a preference? I think I prefer the sleeps where I wouldn't dream, somehow there is something comforting and restful about a night's worth of oblivion!

Dreams are important as an exercise for our imagination. I dream almost every night and the funny thing is that almost all dreams I don't remember. So this is an amswer on a second question I guess.
Well, the variety of dreams must be nice though! Even if they are completely forgotten!

1- I dream a lot , I have like 4 or more dream per night, but when I wake up I forget most of them in less than five minutes, I love dreaming , for me it's like getting to another world where anything is possible. Once I was like half-asleep and had some sort of control over my actions in the dream, was crazy but has never happened to me again.
2- When I was in kinder I had this recurring dream where I would fall from a waterfall and when I was about to get to then end of it I would wake up with my heart beating so fast, I had this dream more than 10 times and never got to the end of the waterfall.
Wow! So many dreams in a night that you remember when you wake! I would find that exhausting!
The waterfall sounds interesting, if a little nerve racking!

Sadly i don't have much to say in this one. I tend to dream a lot, mostly every time i go to sleep but i don't remember a single thing after 10 minutes of waking up. Also, i have some dreams that i have seen multiple times throughout my life (by multiple i mean 5-6) but i still don't remember them. While i am watching them or when i woke up i know that i have seen it before but then as usual forgetting everything!
Haha... you are still a bit ahead on me! Most of the time, when I wake, I don't have anything at all! Only those very very few times when I remember that recurring dream....

HI @bengy I dream alot ( even day dreaming ) but at night I dream, and wake up to go to the toilet and When I go back to bed I dream on / further the Same dream. The story just continued!!
I remember them always because its always about the kids. Always the kids doing something good or bad depending on the situation, I love dreaming and I can sleep everywhere anywhere All the time 😂💪 When I go to sleep and think of a topic I dream about that thing. And i always wake up after exactly 7 hours, not 7.30 or 8 No 7.00 hours really strange !!
Bizarre! When I wake, I don't think I would ever continue on from where I started, I think I would just skip to the next dream channel!
Funny that you can sort of influence what you dream about! I hope you don't go to sleep after watching a horror movie....

1- I don't dream very often, but when I do it's either worth remembering or some silly stuff that happened through the day
2- Something that comes back in most of my dreams, or used to comeback, I'd me dying in the dream. When I looked it up it said that, in the Arabic dream translation when you due in your dreams it means that something evil that you've done before has been forgiven.

Dreams are a weird and wonderful thing. I like to think of them as a gateway to some future or past event and they have often been the source of many deja-vus I've experienced but I had a recurring dream when I was pretty stressed out at my previous field based job.
It would always be me driving down the freeway, going round a long bend but then it opens up to a view of a downhill section, which leads to a dip, after which the motorway bends to the left and out of site. Sounds pleasant enough right?
Well, in this dip, which suddenly appears, there would always be a pile-up of some sort and all the cars there are stationary, but I'm travelling at the speed limit, rapidly approaching but would never be able to stop in time... that's when I'd wake up, just before impact.
But since I left that job, I've not had these dreams anymore and have felt a lot calmer about things so seemed it was a sign of some description to leave. I don't know if there's any steemian who is a dream interpreter but would be cool to know if there can be any meaning derived from this.
My guess is that I felt my career had come to an abrupt point where the job wasn't what it was advertised as and it was a realisation of this. I was pulled all over the place and perhaps it felt like a crash!
I've heard this, that dreams are a way of your sub-conscious trying to communicate something to your waking self. I guess in your case, it seemed to be the case?

I rarely get the opportunity to sleep in but when this happens I often dream very vivid dreams. That second deep sleep after waking up naturally seems to cause these dreams that are often nightmares. It seems to focus on any conflict in my life and often with my wife. I wake up convinced that this actually happened and end up grumpy and tense. My wife, not having experienced the nightmare, have no idea where my mood comes from or even that I blame her for something she did in my dream.
As I write this, I suddenly realise why I do not get the opportunity to sleep in very often. My wife has learned her lesson...
#steemitbloggers
Haha! My wife used to talk more in her sleep... we would get into disagreements and then she would fall properly asleep again... leaving me cranky and awake!
However, these days, she sometimes has what you describe as well... which leaves me a little bit confused in the morning!

I don't always dream and then, sometimes, I have really vivid dreams. I have two themes that recur in my dreams. The first is conflict with my sister - that has a long and real history. The other is finding myself in situations where I'm not wearing any clothes - often trying to escape something or having to deal with a situation I can't escape.
A fabulous initiative. And good to be part of #steemitbloggers. Thank you
The second one is a strange one! I'm sure that is quite unwelcome to be dreaming about....

This feels like dejavu
I feel like I had answered this question.... strange
I hardly get enough sleep that I hardly dream
Or maybe I do but I don't remember it
I remember one I had last week though, and because I hardly remember or have dreams, I had that playing on my mind til today
But generally no... I am too tired and steal shut eyes everywhere and anywhere I can.... including the movies
Now it is joke for the kids, their first question at the end of the movie is, "Did you sleep?" and the rare ones I don't they are happy because it meant I enjoyed it too much hahaha
Get your rest @bengy (that is also note to self )
Hope you got your rest! Maybe, I'm playing tricks on you... I'll put up the exact same post week after week until you go crazy!
Haha... I'm the same, I fall asleep when it is a family movie watching time as well!

I do not dream very often. Sometimes I have up to three dreams in one night but that is very rare, I usually have less than 1 dream per week.
My most recurring dream is that my teeth gets fragile and break and fall apart really fast. It may be because I have had some teeth problems.

I dream every night but do not always remember. Usually, when I do remember it is because of something traumatic happening in my body. If I happened to be dreaming something extremely vivid and crazy it is my body preparing for some major fibromyalgia flare up. If I can wake myself up, I do not have as horrible of a day. I learned to be aware in those situations while dreaming so I could wake myself up. I'm not sure when I started doing that, but it has helped save me of embarrassment and horrible pain.
As for a dream happening over and over, I have not found that to be the case.
Ren #steemitbloggers
Oh, that doesn't sound good at all... but it is good that you know the warning signs and are able (mostly?) to wake yourself up.
I love how the body works it all out really.

Unfortunelly I have a usual dream: me at the school!!
I do not know if it a nightmare, because I had a good period there but I had bad ones too. There was my philosophy teacher that was not the fanniest man in the world and I remember the house with him.
I think to him during the night and when I wake up I understand that it was a dream and "fortunelly" I have to go to job😅
School+Dreams=Nightmare!!!

I have a recurring dream about flying. It is an incredibly fun process and the dream comes at the most random, unpredictable times. This dream is so enjoyable that I look at it as a gift from God. Mind you, I can't fly fast in these dreams, like Superman. But I fly slow, low to the ground, and peacefully. I hope to experience this also in real life some day.
Dreaming of flying sounds like lots of fun! So liberating! Do you ever have to figure out how to land?
Hah, no because I am going so slow, like 5 mph.

Now that I am a adult I don't dream very often and if I do only remember a little bit of what was in my mind. Like last night I thought I somehow was going to buy a second house bigger than mine. But when I was a kid I had this dream over and over that my little brother was up in a tree and would fall. I would run to catch him and never be able to but he never hit the floor either. I can still remember that one. Pretty funny cause whenever that kid climbed a tree I would stand there under it ready to catch him. He never did fall.
It's really nice that you felt that protective to the other kid! Well, better to be prepared than not!

Oooo, the answer would be too long for a comment :D I already made a couple of posts about my dreams and how intense they can be. This is one of those topics we could talk the entire night about lol. The dream that you described is very similar and often had by many people. It is correlated to he fear of impressment (according to psychology) and often shows up when we are either under more pressure than usual or there is an event coming where we have to show out knowledge.
Oddly enough, if you spend the whole night talking about it, then you would not be dreaming... But I'll take a look in at one of your posts and take that as an entry!

Do you dream (or remember your dreams)? I remember a lot of my dreams, but not all. We also have more sway over our dreams than we think. When I kept a dream diary as a 13 year old I managed to increase the colour in my dreams from dull browns and muted colours to one of my favourite dreams of exploring the wreck of the Titanic and seeing an electric blue coral.
Do you have one that keeps coming up and what is it? I used to have a reoccurring nightmare of this massive wave coming up out of nowhere and cresting above me ready to break.
... But you wake up before it breaks on you?
I have heard that keeping a dream diary really helps with training the memory of the dreams, but in a way, I'm happy to not remember...
Most of my dreams when I was writing them down were quite interesting. Even the scary ones. Normally I would just remember water rising and being scared. However with recording I remembered that I was a young asian mother with my son and daughter building sandcastles on the beach and then I moved towards the water still aware of where my children were and then the sky darkened and I was all alone and the water was cresting.
I am not Asian and I am not now or then a mother of two young children, but I would have lost those details if I hadn't been keeping a diary.

I do dream occasionally. I'm facinated with the dream state, especially when making the transition from waking to sleeping.
What I've found is, if you keep focused while allowing the body and mind to relax, you can consciously enter the dream state and become a participant in the dream as opposed to a mere observer. It's a really interesting state to be in.
I don't have many recurring dreams to speak of. I've not really noticed a tangible similarity in situation, but there are similarities of substance—for example. If I'm chewing on a solution to a problem in my personal or professional life, my dreams tend to setup situations that allow me to approach the problem from different perspectives. This ultimately allows me to understand the problem better and provides pathways to resolution.
Really nice post! Enjoyed the train of thought it put me through!

That's an interesting thought and technique, too slowly sink into the dream state whilst retaining some control! Do you try to do this often?
Dreams do seem to reflect our unconscious commenting on what is happening in our real world... It is interesting, and an area that is deserving of more research!

I remember some of my dreams, the funny thing is some of the dreams that I dreamt about is related to what is happening to my life right now.
I don't have recurring dreams though
You aren't the first person to mention that your dreams reflect the situations in real life! It's an interesting idea....
IF only all our dreams would come true hahahaha

@bengy
I believe this has to do with the stress of work. I quit working at the hospital and for years still had a type of dream where I can't complete my work or am lost at the hospital.
Would love to have a private convo with you sometimes. You know you have something in common with Einstein. :)
Science is something I love. And now quantum is the thing since I meditate.
If I go back to sleep after getting up in the morning I receive a dream with a special message for me.
I have been thinking of posting about lucid dreaming. Have you ever had a lucid dream?
Ha ha, Einstein was supposed to be a decent violinist, it would have been interesting to hear him play!
I've never had (or tried to have) a lucid dream... Is it something that you have been practising?
I read a book about Einstein and his 1st wife. She played music also.
I had lucid dreams for years, they started as a child and worked hard to stop them. Now I don't but am considering cranking it back up ... lol

I dream and often remember them. I dream in color, too. Sometimes, I remember particular colors from dreams.
No recurring dreams.
Interesting! Although for a valid entry, you would also need to answer the other question!

I do dream and also remember them.
But they do not themselves.
I only dreamt what is on my mind before sleeping.
Thanks, but for a valid entry, you would need to share a bit about them!
