Do you have recurring dreams?

[Lawliet]

As the title says, do you have dreams that repeat in your sleep over time?

Among others, I have three main recurring dreams:

1. I'm back in university and I have an upcoming exam I am not ready for. The subject changes from dream to dream; the most recent being chemistry. And I'm not ready for the exam each time. In fact, in all those dreams, I skipped the subject's lectures too, to top it off. Failing the exam means delaying my graduation, which is already overdue. I wake up with the utmost relief that I have, in fact, graduated and passed all my subjects

2. I'm packing my things to move to another place. My family moved around a lot during my life. I mean, a lot. I have lived in 3 continents in my life (North America, Europe, and Asia), and moved towns and schools and houses a lot in each of them. So in my dreams, I have an upcoming move and I'm packing stuff into my bags and the things I'm supposed to pack never end and I'm late in preparation. Again, I wake up with relief.

3. This one is more serious than the other two. Back in my early teens in 2004, I had a best friend I was super close to, like a brother. However, due to unfortunate circumstances and a misunderstanding, I had a massive falling out with the guy. The situation was awful. He sided with my middle-school bullies and I was basically verbally mobbed by a large group. We went our separate ways with mutual hatred afterward (sounds familiar doesn't it? I related quite strongly to this aspect of Berserk). It was awful and traumatizing - for the next 20 years I would dream about the guy from time to time. 20 years is a long time to hate someone, though, and it was choking me by the end. This April, I located the dude on Instagram and messaged him. We had an adult conversation and made peace. He didn't apologize per se (and I wasn't expecting him to), but we buried the hatchet, so to speak. I can't say it was joyful or anything. In fact, I felt like a deflated balloon afterward. But it's an issue in my life that's finally resolved and I feel much better. He occasionally pops up in my dreams nowadays, but in a mild context.

Fuck that guy, you shouldn't have called. Just try to move on, life's too short to remain hung up on people like that.

Anyway, I sleep like a log and very rarely remember my dreams.

Honestly very rarely.
Most of them are just childish dreams about going in a long fantasy adventure type of stuff.

I have huge acrophobia, so one of my most recurring dreams since childhood puts me in very high places, buildings, stairs and such. It usually ends with the ground underneath me collapsing or slowly disappearing until I eventually fall to my death.

There's also some recurring nice dreams, like me going shopping or to a musical with some of my friends.

Yup.

Its when I'm in highschool, stressing about failing my classes and I can never find where the last class of the day is. I just keep searching in rooms with people giving me weird looks.
