I've noticed that in my dreams I can dream about the same place, though there is no such place in real life. It can be months or years before I revisit those places in my dreams. There is one in particular I remember where it is a large "classroom" with wooden paneling, bleacher-style seats, stairs on either side and when someone is chasing me or after me, I hide in a hidden room within the wall. I think there are also large windows as in my last dream there was an ocean outside the windows.
That is the most recent place I remember, but I've been there more than once in my dreams. Other places that are familiar I do a certain thing over again, or I remember that I was there and I do not do the same thing over again. Why do I dream about the same places even though they are not real? |

It is possible that this place represents a side of your personality, something like a perspective on your life. Your associations to this place represent the attitudes, thoughts and feelings as one part of your many-faceted psychology. Because you revisit it, the place probably symbolizes an important facet of your psychology. I believe that recurring dreams usually mean the unconscious is trying to get a message to you about something you are neglecting in waking life. The person may be chasing you because there is something in you that keeps trying to assert itself, and you are running and hiding from it.
What are your associations to this classroom? If you walked into it right now, what would you be thinking or feeling about it? Does it resemble any real place you've been? Mike |

Well, whenever I visit that classroom, I am running from something and finding shelter in the hidden room in the wall. In my last dream, there was a double-decker bus that could travel on water that had a bomb on it and I ran into the classroom and into the hidden room to escape the bomb, even though my brother and friends were on that bus.

Those places are within you, that is why you will re-visit them. As day to day feelings and experiences change, so does your dream experiences.

I've got a few recurrent locations too. I like it because it feels comfortable and like it's home - even though I'm always there for a scary reason.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
