The DU Lounge

One is that I am in a supposedly familiar place but I can't find anything. An example is my former workplace (I'm retired now). But the elevators move sideways or it's suddenly located in the middle of a giant mall and there are always hallways that go to weird places. I consider that to be a stress dream. I had it when I was still working and it still crops up now and then.

The other one is pretty obvious. I have to go to the bathroom in an urgent way. But every time I find one there is something significantly wrong with it. It's flooded or there's no privacy, it's super crowded or there's some other issue. I think that's my now-older me telling me to wake up and go to the bathroom before I do something embarrassing.

When I was younger (decades ago) I had another recurring dream about something good happening. It actually did happen in real life and I have never dreamed about it again. That one is a little spooky because of that.

Just recently - like a few days ago - I had a dream where someone very dear to me who has fairly recently passed had a conversation with me. I'm not going to share details but it's the first time I have dreamed about this person. Not sure what that's about. Possibly a milestone in the grieving process.
