Paulm said:hmmm, dreaming of our past, but it's the past of an alternate reality??? interesting idea. I haven't even considered that but that could explain why some dreams, the house dreams we've touched on, are sometimes different in ways we don't recall. Two recurring dreams I have involve houses and one is of a location/place, significant in my past though I didn't visit there often. But all are so vivid and familiar. I know where I am. but there is something different about it. almost like being in a place you know every detail of but at the same time you're completely lost. you know the look and feel but everything has changed. even the roads and rooms.......Interesting idea
There is a theory that says time is happening all at once. So past, present and future could intersect at points. It's a bit too crazy to try to rationalize it so i just grasp what i can lol.
I've had so many dreams where places i don't know at first but after a point of confusion, it all comes back to me as if a download has just occurred. Then it all seems normal. Something that did not seem right at first, i then remember the why. Quite strange.
The one dream i had about my childhood home, things were certainly off. I remember there being a wall sconce that i could not turn off no matter how i tried. I finally twisted the bulb out and threw it on the floor lol. The one thing to this day that stood out to me was a small handheld tape recorder sitting on an end table, that was actually recording. I turned it off.
Always wondered why that was there. It was such an odd addition to a supposed dream and makes me wonder if it actually was a dream or i was 'traveling' in the house and may be one of the 'ghosts' supposedly making noise there lol.
