Not for interpretation specifically, but at least discussion . I’ve been in a dream cycle for probably six months or more of very intense and poignant dreams , with reoccurring settings and situations . It’s to the point of going to bed at night and wondering what’s going to happen next , not ‘what will happen about so and so ‘ but more of ‘what bizarre pageant will I encounter tonite ? ‘

These dreams are not of everyday activities or even situations that I have experienced, but more of the fantastical , never experienced scenes and characters that I have not . People I have no recollection of to the point of perfect strangers , yet I’m completely comfortable being around them and even feelings of intense affection towards.

There are a few environments that are familiar that reoccur : for example a street scene where I find myself on the sidewalk in front of storefront picture window filled with unusual curiosities and I know I am going in to look for an item that is different in each dream . Once inside i shop for the item by exploring different rooms in the store - whether for books or gadgets - once for a pair of corduroy pants , and it has even been an auditorium that i initially take to be a movie theatre , only to realize is a university lecture hall , and I have to go to the office behind the stage to meet a professor and express my wish to finish my degree . She gives me a look that says ‘ you are too old for that ‘ , and I awake telling myself ‘ you already finished that degree , what is that about ? ‘

Over many years of dreams I’ve witnessed a deserted beach where only a few small cottages appear , and each time it’s the same beach scene , with slight variations in the cottages color and size , and I’ve never in my waking life been there . I’ve come to realize it is possibly a painting ? for in my dreams I think I first see it as a painting and then enter into it and experience being there .

One dream I had a month ago involved meeting my late father in a Parisian cafe/bistro at lunch where we were shopping for fishing rods . While we were looking at them , my late older brother came up to me and said we had to be going and led me away on a long walk where we ended up in my childhood neighborhood walking along roads i do remember in detail and then ending up in a backyard of girl i went to elementary school with , only her younger sister was there and she mistakes me for another boy in my past . My older brother tells me we have to go home because we have to call our younger brother … and I wake up .
Later that waking day when my younger brother calls me i answer the phone with ‘ I knew you were going to call ‘

Thank you for letting me pay attention to this matter
