Any other than me having three dreams, at different nights even in different points of life but all three making sense of a larger dream all together?
In my first dream, I was with my classmates and needed to outrun an exploding volcano.
The second dream, I was just entering the wonderful habitat of a silent volcano, with my classmates and studying flora and fauna.
The third dream, I had just ended my last class about how rich the grass were and why and stuff (there's just too many silly explanations in dreams sometimes, not to say I'm not actually pondering them but I am too shy to share.), to get to a vault and pull it with my friends and that was the beginning of the volcano eruption.
So 3-1-2.
My classmates never changed, they were all from a class I had when I was in middle school.
First dream when I was around 6, had yet to meet my classmates in real life but even so I knew them in my dreams.
Second dream when I was 13½, remember this one quite well. It was darn lovely, and it was this class's pupils that were my friends in the dream. Also, I remembered the earlier dream and started making notes.
Third dream when I was 17, just after a horrid scenario in life and somehow it all felt connected, right there. Been thinking about these sometimes.
What I've noticed though is that more or less all my dreams have connections in between them and there's usually three dreams of one scenario. I've had whole months with reoccurring themes, lost track of which part was real because I dreamed about a landscape that I interacted with, woke up and interacted here just to dream about the same landscape with consequences of my changes; Doing this for a month can really twist my head.
Another of my really horrid dreams were about a Something that said that Something could make me live my wildest dreams but in return, I have to pay with dreams I haven't made true in real life yet. Something gave me one free deal; And I marveled at Something's powers, sold half my heart and have felt even more at loss ever since.
This is probably the most scary dream I've had.
Anyone else sold their dreams in dreams? I've been told by Something that my mother, brother and my mothers sister had all been there. Spending greatly, except for my brother who was a bit more skeptic.
This makes me believe that others may have been to his little shop as well.
On the Dream self.
Most often I am female, at a lesser extent I am male; I have been creatures I've never seen before (or at least I cannot recall them unless in specific dream world's) and I have been less human animals too, most usually cat's in different forms but also deer's and bee's (after reading the "wyrd sisters" - by T. Pratchett) which was a very cool experience - although and unfortunately very influenced by the book. Also, at times there hasn't been physical bodies.
Body shape - type of thinking.
Have you had different ways to think during dreams?
Perhaps also, different motivations?
