The Dream Thread

[OpalE]

it's very common for me to get to be absolutely certain of who someone is in a dream. & sometimes they won't even look how i know them to look but i'll still somehow know without a shadow of a doubt who it is.

i do this, too ... but i have to look into the eyes.  without seeing the eyes, i can still mistake identities (though something will feel very 'off' about it).

Have you met imposters?

There are two people from waking life that used to show up regularly in dreams as someone else known well ... an attempt manipulate (or 'steal') waking emotional dispositions?  Other times the imposters were ... 'something else from somewhere else;' dangerous critters with motives so alien that i can't read them.  

& in the show he's constantly saying my name bc his love interest in the show has my name.

!!  this has been a constant for me this year!  my name is splattered on nearly half the shows and movies a few minutes into watching.  Probably means something, but no clue what   .

has this happened to anyone else? binge-watching something impacting your dreams?

sort of.  Donna from "that 70's show" lived in mine for awhile.  Always those "you + 3 others" dreams (one faceless, one opposite gender), so i'm pretty sure she was a skin for my anima.

also, i've noticed that my dreams will use anything i've been obsessing over recently to get messages across.  communication seems more effective with fresh symbols for some reason.
