Okay, let me first say that I didn't PURPOSELY delete from my blog the list of blogs that I follow. But somehow they got deleted. And try as I might to get them back up there, I'm not succeeding. I don't know if it's my computer or my stupidity. I'm banking on the latter. In the meantime, don't be offended it your name doesn't appear for awhile. I'm working on it!
And now, onto another concern. Recurring dreams. Specifically my recurring dreams.
For many years I've had the same two dreams over and over again. The first involves me losing my teeth -- slowly, one by one, until I only have a couple left. I'm left with a feeling of complete hopelessness.
The second, and I have to say, this one disturbs me even more, is where I'm looking for a public washroom. The only ones I can seem to find are ones that are overflowing, disgustingly dirty, or they don't have a door on them. After searching for a suitable one with no luck, I opt for an out-of-the-way stall with no door thinking I can finish up before anyone sees me. I quickly find out that the stall I'm in is actually in some VERY public place and I find myself in a rather embarrassing situation with everyone watching me.
Now if these aren't disconcerting enough, I've recently added another dream to the repertoire. In these I'm just going about my regular activities when I "remember" that I have a dog (and in one case a baby) and that I had forgotten all about feeding them or taking care of them for two weeks -- it's always two weeks -- and I feel terrible that I could totally forget about being responsible for them.
I really would like to know why I keep having these same dreams over and over again. I asked The Mr. if he ever has recurring dreams. His reply: "Not really."
Is this a common thing?
Does anyone else experience this?
What do they mean?
Why do I keep having them?
I could really use a chat with Joseph (and his amazing technicolor dream coat) right about now.

Ha! I have variations of the teeth and bathroom ones all the time too. Teeth - they are coming out, but being held in place by my braces. Bathrooms - I'm in a stall and suddenly the walls are removed and I'm in a public place, OR I'm partway through my business, when I realize that the stall walls and doors don't come down close enough to the floor - leaving my sitting half completely revealed. I have also been having a "lint-removal" dream since I was a child.
Those dreams are hilarious! You and my mom should swap dream stories (if you haven't already). :) She may have a few recurring ones as well.
Yes! I always have recurring dreams. I guess that was a little redundant. The door-less washroom is a huge one, but more often these days I'm driving down Groat road in Edmonton and no matter which way I turn, I always end up in a gravelly parking lot of a factory that makes gravel. Other recurring dreams include:
-doing homework. I hate these ones, because you wake up feeling as if you've never stopped working.
-being chased around the old Kindersley house.
-connecting a self-replicating electrical circuit system that keeps expanding and expanding until there's no place left in the universe for it and it finally explodes. And then it starts over... This one happens a lot to me when I get sick.
Hmmm... that's all I can think of.
I used to have dreams similar to the last one, where I've forgotten someone something important...thankfully it's been years since I've had that kind of dream. I'm cured:) Thankfully, no teeth or bathroom dreams. My son Mark has the most interesting dreams - his should be made in to movies:)
I fixed a recurring dream. I used to dream that I was in high school and of course I can't find my locker and can't remember my lock combination, the usual. Now in this school the lockers are movable and every semester they switch where your locker is just to keep the cool kids happy. I miss a whole semester of law because of this.
So when my son was going to start Grade 10, I went to my old high school in Calgary ( Go Bulldogs!) and asked for a tour around the school. Saw my class photo on the wall, realized I really did graduate and now the dream has gone away.
