I'm a 20 year old male. For several years I've been having these dreams that I can only describe as being a sort of continuation of an adventure, the details of which are trivial. Not all of my dreams are part of this series, and in fact they are quite rare, occurring maybe once every few months or so. They always involve a set few of recurring characters (one of which is played by me), with the occasional addition of new ones. Both the plot and characters involved in these dreams, as far as I can recall, are unrelated to anything I've seen, read, or heard about. And although I am a creative person by nature, most of the events occurring within these dreams seem far beyond what I could imagine with my conscious mind. I guess my question is; Does anyone else experience a similar sequence of dreams?

I wonder if you & I are having the same dream at the same time, and both of us are in it, and neither of us knows the other....
I have been having the same thing, sometimes i wake up go to sleep and continue the dream, and sometime a week later, the events that happened in my dreams, are kind of in my memory and like my life story in a later dream...hard to explain. for me its not rare, my dreams just continue, with similar places, feelings, etc... In my dreams, sometimes I am not even myself, but someone else.
There was actually a pretty decent film, "Passion Of Mind" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0160644/), starring Demi Moore, that touched on this very subject matter. It was recommended to me by a friend to whom I told my story.
Maybe we should all start a club? Hmmmmm...
i have reccuring dreams about a cursed mirror. me and whoever else is in the dream try and get rid of it because it causes havoc, and in the end we always think we've managed to lose it forever. but it keeps finding its way back. fucking mirror.
your brain probably made them up, because your brain is more active when you sleep than when you're awake. Weird right?!
but that's not the point. Since I was...errr...maybe 6, I've been having the SAME DREAMS over and over, until I "solve" them, or don't die. I've had one about a dragon, one about princesses, all very different but I've had them continuously. Once I solve them, they're done.
dreams you have are supposed to be based off of things you've seen, heard, imagines, etc., but maybe you and I are together on this.
I've had dreams with people I don't know. People I've never seen in my life, and trust me, with some of them, I'd remember. Also, I never forget a face. Names, oh yes, bunches! But never faces. I too have a very creative mind. As I said, during sleep, your brain is more active, so you're more imaginative.
I write. All the time. I make up characters, and what they look like. In my dreams, I probably make them up too. Try to think of what your dreams relate to that you do everyday.
anyway, dreams are all weird, there is no dream, by definition, that is "normal".
I have had heaps of dreams that are linked or are continuing and the weirdest thing is they're in places I ve never seen before. Sometimes there are people I know from real life but sometime not and the people I dont know from real life I seem to be very familiar with in the dreams....
There are people I wouldn't have thought of let alone dream about, people who i have made up entirely who I don't believe that I know in person. There are places that have a connection to the real world that i experience, but its like my brain took different parts of various places and then shoved them all together in one location.
I have had dreams that have continued every few months or so, but the dream i had today was a continuation of a dream i had almost 6 years ago. The thing is the dream continues only 1 year from the previous dream. In the dream i have i think i'm at a summer camp and i'm a bunch of my friends that i normally hang with, and others i don't know but who i am very friendly towards. I always seem to be running around going from one end of the camp to the next, looking for a girl.
I wonder if there is any meaning to these dreams? they say all dreams have meaning but do you have to wait until the dream finally ends to find it? I wonder if they have a name for these types of dreams?
kinda unrelated but still relevant to the question, i think. i had a dream about "jean st." i wrote it down in my dream. when i woke up it upset me so bad... dying animals... i was walking thru feces water... gross... well it bothered me so bad i had my bf drive me across town to "jean st" and there was a dog with his head chopped off in the canal. animal control thought i was just crazy and took the dog and left, totally ignaring the house... cus they wont do anything on "hunches"
so in coinclusion..... maybe your dreams are telling you something. check out a dream dictionary and look into all the details. dreams can have all sorts of ways of explaining things... even abstract
