(41,451 posts)When I was a kid, it was that I was walking in a playground, and there were pits in it. At first, they were widely separated and then they got closer and closer together and I was walking on a narrow ridge between two pits. In the end, I would fall in and be terrified and then wake up. In at least, one of the dreams, there were helpful notices on the walls of the pit: 'WARNING: THIS PIT HAS NO BOTTOM'.
More recently, the recurring themes have tended to be:
I am travelling somewhere by train or on foot and manage both to get lost and to lose one or both of my shoes.
I am in a stationary car, and it suddenly starts moving with me in it and I don't know how to stop it (I do not drive IRL). In one of these dreams, the owner of the car, who had ordered me to sit in the car and mind it for him, was the Australian politician Tony Abbott - whom I never liked even BEFORE having that dream about his car!
