did you ever have the same dream twice?

Question

A few years ago i had a dream that i couldnt forget and about 1 year later i had the same dream,is there any explanation for that?

Answer 1

Sure. It's a "recurring dream"--sometimes people dream something over and over. My mom used to dream that she was flying night after night.

It's still your head--if you dreamed it once, the memory of it is still in there. If you can remember something twice, why couldn't you remember a dream and dream it again? I don't know that it's all that significant, unless it means something to you. Then, you might want to think about what the dream means in your waking life and why you might have been reminded of it a year later. But don't put too much stock in dream interpretation--sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Answer 2

Dreams are basically your subconscious thinking about something more deeply than you would while awake. Dreams don't come from anywhere but your own mind.

Having said this, you can simply say that the fact you still remember that dream means it's still in your mind and your mind can replay it to you when you sleep.

Don't think too deeply into the dream, no matter it's importance, since you can think about cheese and where it comes from and this wouldn't make a difference to your life, you can also think about what's in the dream but it means nothing.

DON'T read dream analysis, it's bulls***

I have the same type of dream every single night which is annoying me now; I actually dream of waking up from a dream and telling people about it. It's so unbelievably confusing and it keeps happening...I don't know what it's about...

Answer 3

First of all there are many different theories of dreams supported and developed by different psychologists so it kind of depends on what your own beliefs are on how the human mind works.

Many people believe that dreams can be interpreted to mean things in your life for example Dreaming of a lack of money can symbolise a lack of the abilities or qualifications needed to achieve some desired goal. Hoarding money can indicate selfishness whereas to dream of sharing money can symbolise magnanimity- not every one in the world will believe this is true and you will probably find many different interpretations of the same dreams.

I studied psychology at A level and we covered dreams as a topic my personal oppinion is that dreams are information that we hold in our subconcious memories whilst we sleep the mind is more relaxed and the subconcious filters through. However i also beleive that we can dream things for a reason for example when i was younger i used to have a reoccuring dream which i dreamt at least 3 times a week about my dad falling i was convinced one day that he had really fell and that i wasnt dreaming shortly after the dreams my dad was diagnosed with epilepsy - which caused him to collapse from time to time completely out of the blue with no warning just like in my dream.

so it is not for me to say that you dreaming the same dream twice is for a certain reason or it means something in particular it really does depend on personal oppinion and what you chose to believe.

hope this has kind of helped you to think about the answer to your question
