The power of recurring dreams

[peacetraveler22]

What do dreams mean? I've never studied this issue in detail, but there are all kinds of interpretations, especially for ones that are recurring. In recent weeks, I've had the most vibrant dreams of my lifetime. I don't know what has stimulated this, but I suspect it comes from an overflow of very complex and diametrical emotions that have arisen over the last two months. They range from elation, restlessness, increased sexual thoughts and arousal to struggling with guilt for not feeling empathetic toward a terminally ill relative. She is now in her final days, and lies dying in a hospice bed in our home.

In youth, I had very erotic dreams, even though I wasn't sexually active until later in life. Then, my dreams shifted toward fantasy lands, full of images from the cosmos, fairies, and mystical adventures. Of course, there were also mundane dreams involving friends, family or encounters with random strangers. But there is one dream I've had over and over again, probably at least 50 times in my life. Each time, I realize my teeth are falling out! Sometimes only a few of them, other times, absolutely all of them. What does this mean? :)) Apparently this is a common recurring dream for many people, and nothing unique to me. However, all of the interpretations I've read seem irrelevant to my life situation.

Do you have recurring dreams, or believe there is any significance to them?

Somehow I feel sad for people who don't regularly have dreams when sleeping, or fail to remember them. It's an entirely different world. :))

Me too :)))
Also I always have them multi-colour and some people see them monochrome only ...

Never had a monochrome dream in my life! Never even heard of the concept. Sounds boring. I prefer my imaginary, colorful kingdoms. :))

My mother almost always had monochrome dreams... And she was exciting every time when I described my dreams.

BTW, I forgot to add, sometimes I have not only recurring dreams (it is more rare for me), but a dream that is continued...
