Places in my Dreams
Posted: Thu Apr 20, 2023 8:11 pm
Hello!
So, I thought I would post this up just to see if other people encounter the same or similar things.
Whenever I dream, my dreams always take place somewhere that is mappable, and I am capable of revisiting or revamping these spaces depending on the dream. For example, my dreams about school are always in a building that is an amalgamation of all the schools I've ever attended, which sounds normal, but the layout of this building is fixed. If I wanted to, I could draw a map of this building and how you can get from one section to another, like if you take the right corridor from the central part of the school you can cross a bridge into the high school section or if you go down the fifth grade hallway you will eventually go into the town of spirits in the afterlife after passing the white horizon.
There are some really fun (and sinister in some cases) theme parks in my dreams, and I hope to visit those more often (hopefully in situations where my life isn't in danger...) One really interesting theme park is one where everything is normal during the day but at night everyone participates in a park wide game of hide and seek in purge-style masks and everything. It is terrifying but an interesting concept nonetheless lol
There's also a museum that is underground and the premise of the game there is that the guide leaves the group alone for exactly one hour because of "technical difficulties" and you can make the decision to leave the main room and explore the labyrinth-like underground chambers. There's all types of experiments to see and robots to interact with, and there are some really bizarre but beautiful secret rooms. Everything is normal up until 15 minutes before the timer runs out, and then the robots start acting weird and then eventually actively hostile just two minutes before the timer is up. The lights in the tunnels go from a purply-blue to an anxiety activating red and you start hearing people whisper about how things are acting up and the tunnels emit whirring and rumbling sounds. You have to find your way out and back to the main room, and that can be easy or very difficult depending on how far in you've gone and how well you can remember your way out of the maze. I've been there a few times and it's been scary but exciting all the same!
Basically, many places that I dream of are almost stable in that I can revisit them and they'll be almost the exact same as the last time I visited, even if the dream is about a different subject. Interestingly enough, sometimes even people I run into in dreams will have consistent characters or time will have passed for them by the time I see them again. Some people I reencountered in my dreams actually remembered when we first met when I was like in middle school! How embarrassing! I'm wondering if anyone else has similar types of dreams or encounters? Or if maybe someone has a theory as to why my dreams are like this?
