This troper keeps having extremely similar dreams where it's The end of the world and being forced to go to school despite this. Then, she has to go and save it somehow. It always has something to do with {{Pokemon}} and Higurashi for some reason.

This troper has continuations of dreams that I don't remember and reimagining of the dreams, usually theyre set in various places across my town. My house is the biggest reoccurring location and it is always filled with something supernaturally evil that slowly kills everyone and then tortures me until I wake up, the one thing thats always there is a big black hairy creature with a white disk where his face is suppose to be, and he's always chasing me but can never touch me.

This troper keeps having one where she and her best friend have taken the places of the Elric brothers (not saying who's who, 'cuz I'm a cheeky little tropette like that >:D)... and every night it's a different episode. One night in particular... it was episode seven of the first anime (which I'm currently watching). Then the night after that, it was episode 8. After that it's been random episodes that I don't even know the numbers of yet.

Same troper, different dream... or in this case, dreams. In said dreams, I end up going to worlds where I'm not supposed to exist yet (i.e. games or anime that I know a bit about, but haven't played or seen), such as FireEmblem, NoMoreHeroes, TokyoMewMew and strangely enough, DevilMayCry. I don't know exactly what these dreams are supposed to mean, but I've told my best friend about them and I hope she can figure it out. She's pretty good with things like this.

This troper has an odd version of a recurring dream. It only happens once a year, twice on leap years, and only between September-February. The dream started as this troper was on a train, like the carts on a roller coaster but larger. It was driven by a skeleton who gave everyone notepads and pens, and we were told that we had to take notes during our trip through the underworld, but if the pen ran out of ink you died. Along the way we met a dog, a grim reaper, and a ghost who became this troper's friends. Then the next year, the troper was an assistant on the train, and each year the passengers are different people. It's weird...

That's bizarrely specific timing.

I have RecurringDreams where I am in my mind's version of my school and end up getting lost, turned around, and/or losing track of someone. Actually, that's a common theme in several of my dreams, as well as mixing up locations i am EXTREMELY familiar with, except my house[and those dreams were ones where I was sleep-walking]. One exception to it went something like "Hey, this doesn't look like ! I must be dreaming!" *cue lucid dream*

This troper had a recurring dream of being chased. It's gone away, though. The first time, it was a dream of what can only be described as Hide and Seek TO THE DEATH.

This Troper has recurring dreams where she is trying to escape from something, but her legs become heavy and drag along like she's wading through treacle, and she keeps stumbling and falling. They range from trying to get out of the way of an oncoming car, to running from some kind of monster, to fleeing the crime scene after murdering someone.

This troper has dreams involving his large local shopping centre, made weird some way.

I wouldn't call them Recurring Dreams, but a recurring dream ''theme'': occasionally I have a dream where I'm looking at porn (okay, at least once it was an {{H-Game}}) and I try to hide it from someone who's right next to me.

I've had a couple recurring dreams. The first one involves being at a barbecue thing and there was some water and oh look there's a tornado now. Then I was put in this vehicle that today is called a hummer and then went storm chasing (much to my dismay). The second time this happened I knew it was a dream when we got into the hummer and tried not to be afraid but then I woke up shortly after.

The other recurring dream I had involved playing this Donkey Kong game. The second time it happened it went a little longer than the first.

This troper has several reoccurring dreams, including one with creepy frogs in the Amazon. And some that are "connected" but aren't exactly the same.

Rather than a straight-up recurring dream, this troper has a recurring theme in several of her dreams- dancing nuns. Yeah, she doesn't really know either.

This troper's dreams all take the same two forms. Either, I dream of being in a bed with an empty head content in snuggly warmth or I have a real dream. The form varies but it's always the same; I take the form of a hero or fictional protagonist but my weapons are always ineffectual. My batarangs bounce off, my jetpack lifts me a foot off the ground, It's too hard to use grappling hooks to escape the gathering, chittering dark because I have no more strength than normal but and am weighed down by useless armour, my guns are pathetically weak (though accurate) have low ammo and usually jam; and I am always chased by some nameless or all-too visceral horror. A formless amorphous eldritch spawn of tentacles and eyes and mouths yodelling obscene curdling cries from the depths of its ichor-dripping crevices that pass for throats and lungs. It seeks not to merely tear me apart piece by piece. I cannot die in my dreams. It seeks to consume my soul and make me its own. I prefer the snuggly-fuzz-fuzz bed-time dream myself. But they're always the same, even if the form varies. And I can never wake up. I can only stop dreaming, forever stop. To draw attention to the unreality is to invite instant disaster as everything vanishes into the eldritch nothingness. I fear my dreams.

This troper's never had recurring dreams, but once had a B-movie-style dream about an alien invasion, experiencing only the first third and the last third of the storyline without noticing that he had skipped the middle third. That's not the part relating to this trope. The part relating to this trope is that, six months later, '''he dreamt the middle third'''. And it was '''logically consistent''' with the other two thirds.

This Troper has two recurring dreams. One where it's the end of term and exams are being held, but I can't do the exam because I never learnt where the classes were being held and missed them all, and another dream where I have to shake hands with people but my hands are stuck down my jeans and I can't pull them out.

This troper has a recurring theme of celebrities. The dreams start as simply dreaming of her routine, and then the celebrity shows up, and it always seems perfectly normal for this super-famous person to be hanging around.

This troper has identified a recurring ''element'' in his dreams, a massive skyscraper (in which during separate dreams he has attempted to rob an apartment, climbed to the top to discover a poisoning syndicate, or just idly noticed). A more straight example are two nigh-identical dreams involving me walking around a dark city, passing through a street with several numbered doors on it, reaching a gap which revealed the silhouette of the Palace of Westminster- then reaching the end, walking into the last door, examining my keyring and discovering I have a flat there. probably has a lot to do with my lifelong dream of moving to London.

you should think about becoming an architect...

this troper has recurring dreams...in her dreams. she'll be having a dream, suddenly think- "wait, this is a dream, and I've had it before. how did I die last time? oh, right" and she'll do something different, but usually still die. upon waking, she realizes that she's never had the dream before, at least not that she remembers.

This Trooper had it just last night and it was even ''Lampshadded, in dream'', last night. For some reason, all of my friends were chasing a random BigBad in the boys locker room. the BigBad made it to the pool area, which is right next to, and above, the lockerroom. My friends knew it would be flooded in a few minutes and they wouldn't be able to get out until a few minutes after all the water passed. What everyone did in the dream was take down the ceiling tiles and taped them together to create small boxes that the water would not enter (In the dream, this made more sense than climbing out though the now tileless ceiling for some reason.) Part way though construction of the boxes, one of my friends said that the water would be coming shortly and to hurry up the construction. he said, and I quote, "We better hurry up guys. We've been though this before last time and let me tell you, it isn't fun."

The best I can do is dreaming of Bible teachings three nights in a row. And they also looked like video games. One of the most vivid moral lessons in my young life is Matthew 7:5 expressed through ''ChronoTrigger''.

this troper used to have a recurring dream where I'd be in my old car, i was physically young, like 2 or 3, and it would be me, my brother, and my dad all in the car sitting in the sloped driveway. my dad would be asleep in the driver side, my brother would be in the back seat, and i was in the passenger seat. every time without fail the car would start on it's own, pull out the drive way, on it's own, shift into drive, on it's own, and drive down the road, on it's own. I would freak out because in the dream, my dad wouldn't wake up, and my brother of three years seniority, would be in the back seat and couldn't get into the front seat. so the dream would end with the car doing thirty down the road with me trying to crawl in the driver seat and take control of the car.

For a while, I had (For some reason) a brown cow showing up in all of my dreams, scaring the crap out of me and then me waking up. Despite it lasting for a week, I only clearly remember three of them. One of them (actually the first), the dream wasn't that interesting, but every five minutes or so I would find the cow somewhere else, and after a while it started to seem like it was stalking me. At the end, the cow walked over to me, and when it got close, the dream inexplicably went into third-person view, and despite the fact that it didn't even touch me, I was sent flying backward. I woke up when I hit a wall. There is another one I don't really remember much of one (but at least I remember it), but I do remember that it ended with me waking up in the dream from a dream I was having in the dream, then walking down the hall to the kitchen to get breakfast. When I got to the end of the hall, the cow came around a corner. I panicked, and ran back to my room, then yelled and charged back down the hallway at it. Then I woke up. The final one was about me playing video games. If I remember correctly, TheLegendOfZelda. It went like any dream about playing video games went, until then end, when I put down the controller and turned to go to get something to drink. Guess who was sitting next to me? I then woke up, and haven't dreamed about the cow since.

I have a multitude of Recurring Dreams. Some are more like Recurring Settings as well. Here's a few examples.

I have this one Dream setting about some weird town. It's based on a place i used to live but with a bunch of key differences. Like there's a park that's similar to the one near my old house, and the streets lead of to bizarre versions of that neighborhood.

One is about this weird MMORPG type of game. Typically in those dreams my person is exploring some new area and getting new items. One area was essentially a giant ravine, filled with water, that had a few small islands sitting around with a colossal waterfall adding more and more water to it all. Another is this floating pyramid that has a bunch of traps in it and has a guardian that looks like exodia from Yugioh. It's all gotten to the point where if i start dreaming about them, i can recognize everything that will happen. I even have a mental map of most of these dream settings.

As a little kid, I kept having this dream where the grocery store was closing down, with lots of boxes and machines and nothing else inside it. I somehow snuck in there, and started looking around. Then, I saw some blinking lights at the bottom of a fridge-like machine. I crouched down to see it, and it started talking to me, while blinking in various smiley faces. And we just talked until the end of the dream. I had this dream at least 3 or 4 times.

I quite often have nightmares about being trapped in a public aquarium. There are two rough variations on this dream; either the fish escape from their tanks and start flying around the room, or the tanks are far too close together and I have to squeeze past them, trying not to break the glass. When I wake up I can't put my finger on why these dreams are so terrifying (unless it's one where the sharks escaped), but they're creepy as hell while I'm actually having them.

I often have dreams involving some sort of roguelike-type game (a cross-over between Minecraft, Dungeon Crawl and NetHack - I don't play Minecraft, but I do play Dungeon Crawl and NetHack), but with extremely realistic graphics and VERY bright colors.

This Troper frequently has dreams where he is either unable to move his head, or remove something from his head, and cannot despite all his efforts. He has decided that this is actually closer to sleep paralysis than actual dreams, and it has gotten to the point that he is able to shake himself awake when he finds himself in one of these dreams. More recently, he has had three separate dreams, all of them totally different, that have suddenly, out of the blue, ended with him getting attacked by bees. More to the point, he hears buzzing, feels something land on his left thumb, hears the buzzing get loud, registers "BEES!" in his mind, and then wakes up.

The only dreams I strongly remember that happen regularly are falling dreams. I'm falling from the sky, down the stairs, off a swing. I hit the ground and wake up in a cold sweat. What do falling dreams mean? I've been having them since I was a child, now I am 21.

This troper has recurring details in her dreams. It's almost always 3rd person, she's an anime version of herself, or her original characters/buildings show up in the background.

I have three reccurring dreams, but the most frequent one is the silliest. I dream that I'm Master Chief from the Halo games. It follows a really odd and extremely specific sequence of events. It always ends in a fairground filled with people. After wandering the booths, Master Chief will eventually find a ten-foot tall sombrero. He then dances around it and sings the following from the Simpsons: #QUOTE#I dance, I dance, I dance, #QUOTE#Around a Mexican hat! #QUOTE#I dance, I dance, I dance, #QUOTE#And that's the end of that! #QUOTE#Or is it I guess I'll keep singing #QUOTE#My cellphone appears to be ringing...

I has bizarre, paradoxical dreams that I think are recurring when I have them, but are actually unique. Sometimes, to make things more of a MindScrew, they aren't even lucid dreams. I know I've had the dream before (one time it was some sort of quest that my companions in the dream and I had to complete once a year to prevent some version of TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt). The "first" time I had the dream wasn't prophetic (i.e. that was a dream, the current incarnation is real). I know that the first time was a dream. Yet somehow, the current (actually only) time I have the dream I think that everything is completely real. I know dreams tend to run on InsaneTrollLogic, but those ones are really ridiculous. Basically, I think everything is simultaneously real and a dream.

I also had some real recurring dreams when I was little. One was a very short dream in which I fell over a railing at the top of the stairs in my house and fell very, very slowly (though at the time the speed felt perfectly normal) from the second floor down to the first, waking up when I would hit the ground. The other would always start with me waking up alone in my room in the middle of the night and seeing a huge, hairy, grey monster with sharp teeth pop out of the floor and start growling at me and trying to scratch me with his claws. Eventually he would disappear and I would sit alone in the dark before "falling back to sleep" ( actually the dream ending). I had this dream a few times when I was only three or four, and the fact that I was so little and that the dream always began and ended at night in my room made me fail to realize this was a dream for quite a while. That was HighOctaneNightmareFuel at its finest. *shudders*

I've had this one dream since I was pretty young. In it, I'm in my room and looking out my window onto the street below. I see people and cars on the street running away from something, and then I see a T-Rex. The T-Rex ignores everyone on the street, and marches up the hill to my house. I run away from the window and hide behind my bed, but the T-Rex sees me and comes up to my window, and its giant eye fills my window pane. The eye keeps searching for me, and I can hear the T-Rex's loud breathing. This moment lasts almost forever, until I wake up.

I have often had dreams where I'm back in high school and it's the transition period between classes. In the dream, I forget to which class I'm supposed to be going and do not have my schedule with me, so I waste time going to the main office for a new schedule. I've recently had a variant where I've forgotten the combination to unlock my gym locker (although in RealLife my workplace requires me to put my personal belongings in a locker).

As a 4-5 year old kid, I kept having this dream where the grocery store was closing down... I went inside, and saw an empty room with lots of boxes, plus dishwashers/washing machines/fridges and similar. At the bottom of one of the fridges I saw a bunch of small, red LED lights shaped kind of like a smiley face, and this started talking to me. I answered it(because in weird dream-logic, that's a totally normal sight) and we continued talking for the rest of the dream. I had 2 or 3 other dreams where I went back there to talk with my new friend.

I have recurring dreams about school, schoolwork, going to and coming home from school, as well as going on school trips. And, it appears, there is some sort of a continuity between them, since when I moved to another school in my dreams, nearly all of my subsequent dreams took place there. Also, I often dream of going to my grandma's place, moving to another house as some sort of a vacation, and at times even living with deceased family members.
