Is it normal to have a set 'dreamscape'?

2 Comments

More recently than ever, the settings of my dreams keep falling into the same place... And this place is becoming larger an more realistic as time has gone on. There are roads and forests and rivers in my dream that always appear the same, and also an entire made up college campus (tons of staircases like mazes, and the quad connects to these roads somehow) where i usually start my dream. There are lots of recognisable things that i realized after waking that ive been to that place before in my sleep, and it keeps building on each other. i feel like my subconscious has been creating a set 'dreamscape' world for myself for dreams to unfold, and its getting kinda eerie how often i end up there, and realize it yet again in the morning. Anyone else have this?

Happened to me a couple times 17

    For the past couple of years, I have been going to the same dreamscape. The places in it are very loosely based on places I have been in reality - places that played a significant part in my childhood and teenage years - but on a grander scale.

    Some things remain the same though - like the path I used to walk between my elementary school and my old house. In the dreams I see and interact with my family and people who I used to go to school with, but most of the time their personalities are different.

    On one hand I'm amazed that my mind came up with the dreamscape and keeps going back to it, but on the other hand, I find it very creepy since these dreams almost always have a foreboding atmosphere to them.

    The seasons are usually autumn or winter, and the sky is usually dark and sometimes there are storms. I always feel scared that the dream will turn into a full-blown nightmare. For that reason, many a night I find myself reluctant to go to bed because I don't want to go into my dreamscape.

    I wish I could dream about somewhere different; somewhere bright and cheerful that I would actually want to go.
