Reoccurring dream...freaky?

Question

From when I was about four to when I was about seven I would have these two dreams over and over until they finally stopped. The first one (remember I was about 5 in both the dreams) I am in a room that is the only unfinished part of my basement, but it has no windows, doors, or furniture except for a fan. The fan sucks in instead of blowing out. I remember my mother is with me and I am afraid she will get sucked in so I try to turn off the fan. I get sucked in down a long dark tunnel and dissapear. She starts to cry and all of these talking flowers suddenly show up...Then I always wake up at that point...

The second dream is where I'm sitting in the passenger seat driving down the street while my mother drives. I smile at her and look out the window. I turn back to her and she is gone, her door is open and the car is still driving. It keeps driving straight until it goes through the 3-way intersection where it crashes into the church on the other side. I wake up before i die.

Actually I had the dream all year round...only at my mother's house...never at my father's house.

Answer 1

i can see a consistency in your dreams. In both of your dreams you seem to be losing your mum or vice-verse. It happens when we are really young and such dreams, I meant dreadful things happening to people who we love the most, happen around that young age when we cant really reason the things that happen or are beyond our comprehension at that young age

Answer 2

I agree with everybody here but I want to add one thing. I too had a recurring dream for years as a child. I would be walking down a dark empty hallway and I would then walk into an empty dark bedroom and sit against the wall with my knees pulled up to me. Across the room was a wall heater, the kind that blows air. It would start blowing and the room would tilt and I would slide to the opposite side, then back again, very slowly.

It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized what 'caused the dreams to initally start each night. Down the hall from my room was a wall heater just like in my dream. Obvioulsy when it came on at night I could hear it and it triggered my dream.

Can you recall anything about your room or surroundings? Did you mainly have the fan dream in the summer when you had a fan going in your room?

Answer 3

You have abandonment issues. Someone must have left you at a very young age, for some period of time either extended vacation away that was traumatic for you, death, divorce, etc. But it's very common to have recurring dreams. I have them all the time, mostly about still being in high school especially in math class, and I keep falling behind or not going to class. Scary stuff. Even my teeth falling out happens a lot in my dreams.

Answer 4

I'm no dream expert or anything this is just what i think. The first thing i noticed is that you are with your mother in both dreams and you think something is going to happen to her so you try and save her just before it does.

I think you were afraid of losing your mother in some way or something/someone was hurting her and maybe you were having a hard time dealing with the fact that you couldn't save her from it but you really wanted to so you kept trying. It was like you felt trapped and compelled to save your mother. In the long run you were hurting yourself but you still wanted to save your mother. I think the dream was trying to get you to accept that you can't save your mother maybe she has to save herself. maybe you accepted the fact and that's why those dreams went away. or maybe the thing that was hurting your mother went away.
That's what i get from it. but who am i?
