Hello /yume/Is there any sort of event in your life that you think affected you on such a level that it has influenced your dreams? I don't mean for a single night, but has become a theme that pops up on a fairly usual basis?For me, it's drowning. When I was very young, 4-5ish, I almost drowned in the deep end of a pool. But I was at an age that while I knew drowning was an "uh-oh" situation, I didn't really understand that people die. So, being the goofy child that I was I pulled a Looney Toons-esque move of counting down 3-2-1 with my fingers just above the surface with the last of my strength before starting to black out. Luckily I was finally spotted and pulled out of the pool.This has lead me to have many, many dreams in which I'm drowning/being submerged in water. But it's not scary. I can wake up from any scary dream, even if I'm not specifically lucid dreaming (learned that handy trick after a strange rash of me-gettin-murdered dreams). But these are different. I know drowning is bad, and generally try to avoid it, but in these dreams if I fail I don't feel scared, just resigned to my fate.Picture vaguely related

I have a few recurring themes.Most of them always almost involve some sort of change over me.This started to happen when I was about say... 8 or 9, when I learned that all life dies eventually.Basically, i always dream that i become something more, something immortal, something I know I want to be, but dare not want to do because it may anger whatever higher being exists in the afterlife. Yet, in my dreams, it happens.

When I was younger (10 - 14 years old-ish) I owned pet hamsters, and a recurring theme in my dreams around those years was owning hamsters and not being able to take care of them. I often dreamed that I had to carry a cage of hamsters across a very big river, always drowning them in the process, or their bulging, beady eyes would start coming out of their heads and I could do nothing to help them. I guess I was worried as to whether I was caring for them well enough? I don't know. Either way those dreams were very uncomfortable. Last edited 10/06/20(Sun)09:01.
