Do you dream?  (or at least, do you remember your dreams)..

Do you have recurrent dreams?

Do you assign meaning to your dreams?

One recurrent dream I have is of being somewhere where I need to use a phone urgently and all the numbers I need aren't on it, so it's a very frustrating panicky situation.

Last night I dreamt I was trying to take a shower in someone's loft.  Someone was already in there + came out so I stepped in but the shower curtain didn't fit and the water was going all over bags of belongings.

Then I found I didn't have a towel to dry myself.

Then I remember saying these words: do you think that all the organised people in the world who are trying to control their lives, who lead quiet lives, who like everything in order, who notice fine details and are careful in what they say and do are autistic and the rest are not?

In my dream I'd decided that half the world was autistic.

    For, me dreams are often literal enactments of set expressions, like "let sleeping dogs lay" in which a dog is curled up sleeping, or "suck it up" in which someone hoovers up something with their mouth. There will be a string of these and I have to sort them out. My subconscious does not know the difference, just that it wants to participate in my cogitations.

    I dream of things I'm concerned about at the time. that's always the case so.

    For your dream: Perhaps showering could be "coming clean" about something, for example.

    I posit this with the following caveat ...

    Carl Jung said, I paraphrase,  Only the dreamer knows the meaning of the dream.

    The other dream- repeated (phone) dream is just a garden variety anxiety dream.  They come when we are faced with exigencies pressing down that we don't feel confident to manage with our usual go-to skill-sets, or for which we can't be in our go-to happy places.

    Everyone gets those.

    Mine is missing a bus, or the bus is going the wrong way, etc.

    A line cook friend of mine's dream is of more orders than he can handle or the food item is missing. etc

    another friend sings, and in hers' the sheet music is wrong or her voice goes, or it sounds like someone else etc.

    Do you have a recurring nice, or pleasant dream?

    Mine is an beautiful, old style Mexican village I go back to in a recurring dream. It's hilly and I wend around the narrow streets with confidence. It feels like home.
