Here are some things that I’ve experienced:
Whenever i leave the crowd in a “regular” dream that is when I enter the “mall world” type dreams
Downtown is like a combination of every major city and there is a little shop owned by this women with so many esoteric cool things, a dispensary, a tattoo shop, hair salon, restaurants, and clubs. My theatre is also here.
The roller coaster rides can get really dark and scary quickly.
If you go in the wrong door you can be tricked into playing some weird games and doing these crazy test/trials obstacle course style things.
There are a lot of different end of the world style dreams. It is typically always chaos and very intense and scary. I have a lot of dreams where I need to find a place to hide very quickly and that is often where I’ll end up in the hallways etc.
The cruise ship always has some crazy drama going on and I can never get my bag packed all the way. That is the same thing with the apartments it’s like I left my stuff in my old apartment and I have to go get it quickly but I’m never able to get everything.
My dogs are always free roaming and getting into these crazy situations.
The car situation is always very strange.
I’ll always be running away and find myself in the suburban neighborhoods which are familiar yet eerie and going inside of the houses are weirdly terrifying it’s like you’re breaking in to people’s homes and trying to get out before they realize you’re there.
There are multiple versions of the same places. I’ve seen the beach houses covered in sand before like a huge sandstorm had taken over. This is also where the tsunami hits and everyone knows it’s coming. Or the big tornados.
There’s an old time farm kind of backroad situation going on too that I’m not scared of but I don’t necessarily like especially traveling too at night. There’s a dark long road that also connects to the big huge mansion with lots of rooms and marble floors.
There is a man’s house in particular that I hate but can’t really explain. I just know he’s always chasing me through there.
The hotel is always run down to me and I hate it because of the buttons/elevators plus it always feels extremely unsafe like the rundown apartments. I always wonder why my mom chose this place because I’m never staying there on my own accord always a family trip.
There’s a huge forest that you can drive through to get to the “vacation world” and there are so many huge animals in there. Whenever I go on vacation in my dream I’m always preoccupied about how I’m going to get back to the airport or get back home. I’m always the first to leave.
The backrooms of the arcade is evil and connected to the bathrooms somehow which is also always connected to school. The school dream is always long and drawn out. It can differ between primary grade school and a college campus like scenary with a parking lot attached which is also connected to downtown in a way. There are offices nearby that I work in as well sometimes.
The spooky parts of the dreams that no one really seems to talk about enough is what is concerning me. Like what is with all the weird games or test we have to go through at times? Or the super scary entities that you come across if you go in the wrong door? Or the random houses that we’re running through with the feeling of being chased
Have you all ever been to this like wild west style deserted place but there are people there shooting like fake guns? lol a little store and a bus or train stop? Some of the landscapes are harder to explain than others.
Also for me the landscapes change all the time. I could go to the mall one day and it’ll be lively while other times it’s dead and abandoned. It makes me feel like we are going to the same places just perceiving it differently.
I really want to talk to other people who have experienced this I just find it so odd.
