I've started to dream more lately. I find myself visiting places in dreams that I used to dream about as a kid. The thing is, I've never really been to these places. Does anyone else's mind fabricate places that don't really exist, and constently revisit them in dreams?
Why does the mind do that?
Thank you IP for making this thread!
thats happned to me a few times. But the places are bits of different places put together. I think the mind does that so that the things we are dreaming about make more sense.
Does that make sense ?
Usally it is places that I've been to as a child, or completely new. I've rarely went somewhere that was a mismash.Quote:

I almost always dream of a mixed enviroment.
I'll be in my room but walk out the door to find myself at someone elses house, then outside will be like my school or the strip mall I used to work at. or smoething like that.
But no completely new places?
Yeah, usually for me it's a mish-mash of places I've lived or jobs I've worked at. What gets me is the dumb-logic I seem to have in these places. Like - I'll be looking for a soda or something - and they'll be underneath my bed wrapped in Christmas paper - and for some reason that's perfectly normal.
I'm generally happier with the world when I don't remember my dreams. All the most memorable stuff tends to be things I'd rather not have kicking around my head. Still, the odd flying one now and then is nice.

yes dream logic is retarded. "the town is over run with vampires, that is normal." NOTQuote:

sure, but not persistant ones. They're usually inspired by something though, like a game or a movieQuote:

Its hard to describe. solid walls with similar textures, very boxy, no furniture etc. However alot of the time the rest of the dream has absolutely nothing to do with doom or anything like it, eg in my dream my friends house is just like that. REAL doom dreams are the fucking best though. Mine are almost like movies with full cinematic shit going on.
I had this dream on a regular basis for 4 years! : I entered a house with my parents and brother (who don't correspond to my actual family;not in numbers and not in appearence) who was home to an old couple.We were to sleep there but the old lady kept giving me the creepy looks.At night I was sleeping in a room with my brother and the old lady was staring at me thru the little door o+pening but for a very long time.
Then I warned my brother and she attacked us.
Weird dream...
I do dream about new places. My mind has invented them, it seems. In fact, I dream of lots of stuff that I could never invent consciously.
My dreams are usualy about mish mash architecture from diffrent eras of my life. Just the other night I dreamt about fighting a gang of roler blading punks like in Jet Set Radio.....But in my local supermarket.
My dreams make no damn sense.
