   What is the weirdest recurring dream you have?
   
   I often dream that I am trying to find a toilet when I am in a strange town! The funniest thing is that the toilets are always made of wood, falling down, or up in the wall so I have to climb up! And no its not because I have a weak bladder! lol! the rest of the dream is just as weird. I can't find who I was with, never know who they are, but I expect they have run of in embarrassment!

   That is a strange one there you have.  LOL  I don't remember my dreams, except two in my whole lifetime.  The strangest dream I still remember to this day, as it was a recurring dream, was that a huge sumo wrestler was chasing me, and I could never run very fast, just in slow motion.  It would always start out in my neighbor's backyard on top of a hill and then I would be running towards my house, and then wake up.  So weird to say the least.

   I have a reccuring dream about a natural disaster that I have to "save" my family from. It's usually either a bunch of tornados or a volcano. Fitting because we are in the blast zone for the super volcano in Yellowstone

      Sounds like yellowstone is on your mind a lot, which is really helpful if you think about it, at least in your dream you have done the safety training! lol! thanks!

      @phtech, I am constantly dreaming about tornadoes and the beaches overflowing. It scares me because of all these tornadoes that have recently gone on.

   I was staying in a house in Kuala Lumpur and I always dreamt of a cocktail party filled with dead people in Chinese dynastic costumes... an oddity because ancient Chinese don't drink cocktail.
   
   It always happened when it was too hot and I slept on the floor. All of a sudden, the room would be very noisy, like a market. And the room would be fully packed, so much so that there was hardly any walking space. And they would walk around me so as not to step on me.
   
   I still do not understand the significance of this often-repeated dream. It only happened in that room where I stayed for over a year, and nowhere else.

      It sounds very much like sleep paralysis to me, which is caused by awakened dreaming. I wrote a hub about it. what a fascinating dream, maybe it was real, a costume party that somehow has imprinted on the room? time slip.

   Nell, I often dream of toilets, too. In my dreams, I am always trying to use the toilet but the toilet has no door and there are people watching me so I couldn't do what I wanted to do. A few years ago, I had the same dream and decided it was no big deal if the toilet didn't have a door. I did a pee, that's when I woke up and found I had done it on my bed and my sleeping partner!

   I have two. One is that I'm a kid and that I'm forgotten at our weekend house that was in the middle of nowhere. I'm adopted so I know that's all about abandonment. I wrote one of my best poems about that.
   
   The other is that I'm in a house that I'm familiar with and that I find a door, which leads to new and different rooms I didn't know about. I love that dream!

   Lately I am getting one dream all over. I am at the train station. I am holding a little kitten in my hands. Suddenly I stand up on a rails and watching a train approaching me. As it is very close to me and keep approaching fast I throw the poor kitten against the train. Suddenly the train disapear and I smile.
   
   A friend of mine explained me that dream as follow: The train represents all the stress and negativity. The kitten represents innosence and kindnest. By throwing the kitten against the train simply means I try to fight the negativity by trying to change it into something positive.
   
   I am not sure if that sounds oki but being insane is not that bad, right?

    The recurring dream, throughout many years, for me, is that I am "somewhere," either in a car or on foot...or some of each.....in an unknown place....often alone, but sometimes I'm with another person (who I talk to, but I don't recall in the morning if I KNEW that person)....and all I want is to get away from where I am...and go home to familiarity and comfort.  I feel very upset and frantic in this dream, because I don't know how to get home.....and no one seems to be able to help me.
    I HATE when I have this dream, because I wake up feeling exhausted.

       Hi paula, isn't it strange how many of us are either lost or in a place we don't want to be? I see a pattern here, I often get the lost dream too. it may be that we all feel lost in everyday life but we don't realise it.

    Hi Nell.
    I have two recurring dreams, one is that I am in the UK or somewhere else and can´t get back to Spain , it´s horrible because I know I have guests coming for holidays and nothing is ready for them, nor am I here to let them in.
    The other equally horrible dream is that I am over run with gypsies or beggars and they are all over my land and trying to get in my house to steal everything. Both are really upsetting nightmares and I wake in a panic from them.

       Hi anne, I think its because you don't want to come back from spain, maybe I am wrong but you feel its your home. The beggars are the people who may take over, metaphorically of course, your home when you move/

    Had a repeated dream from the age I was five that I fell of the balcony of the skycraper and before I reach the ground I always woke up. Went to try skydiving to get rid of this nightmare and it had help. The funny thing was I have always lived on the first floor or on the ground.

    I will say that I have by far the weirdest and most vivid dreams. About a year ago for months every night I was dreaming of tornados. Lots of tornados. I was standing right next to them and they weren't doing anything to me. Around the same time I kept having dreams of me being down the shore with family and something like a Tsunami accuring. Those two natural disasters were recurring dreams of mine for months.

    Hi Nell. I had a recurring dream for probably about 6 years. I was always trying to call my husband in these dreams. I would be in different places every time and sometimes other people would be around, sometimes I was alone. I always felt frantic and desperate to get a hold of him. But something would happen each time and I was never able to reach him. Sometimes the phone would not dial, I got a busy signal, no one answered, etc.
    One day they just went away and I haven't had that dream since.

    I have two recurring dreams that are only different in one way - what I'm running from. I no longer have nightmares. None of my dreams frighten me regardless of what it is chasing me. The two dreams I have I am with a group of people & we are either trying to escape zombies or dinosaurs (usually a T-rex). The lay out is always the same just the threat changes. In the end we get on a plane & fly off (just barely).

    Dreams are so interesting! Your dream is funny!
    I have been dreaming for decades about someone I dated in high school. It alternates, sometimes he's pursuing me and I'm not interested and other times I'm interested and he's not. He and I were very good friends but lost touch. I have fond memories of him, but don't feel romantic toward him. We saw each other a few years ago at a high school reunion and seeing confirmed that I don't feel romantic toward him yet I continue to have the same dream. Unexplainable.
    Fun question!
