This kind of spins out of a conversation I was having with my girlfriend a few weeks back, which I meant to post, but didn't get around to at the time.
We were exchanging dreams which we had when we were kids. Dreams which repeated, and the like. And I mentioned that as a child all my dreams always ended the same way.
She asked me what I meant.
And so I told her. Back when I was growing up, I would know when my dream was coming to an end because I would see like a camera's eye view panning up from the front door of my parents' house, through the hall, up the stairs, around onto the landing (with view of the window in the wall) and through into my bedroom.
At that point I would wake up.
I cannot say for any surety that this was EVERY single night. But certainly the majority of the time. I recall it quite vividly. It doesn't happen any more. In part possibly because I moved out of my parents' house about 7 years ago. And I was away at University most of the year for the years before that.
But I guess this standard sequence of ending a dream started to disappear in my late teens. I started becoming deeply insomniac for a good few years, and during that period I really don't recall many dreams at all. It's never happened in any other place I've lived in either.
When I was telling my girlfriend this she said, "Whoa! You know that's really bad, right?"
I asked her why, and she seemed to think that was really dodgy. That I could have been projecting or something. I dunno about that. I had some weird ass dreams as a kid. I honestly don't think that I was like travelling around reality whilst dreaming, or similar.
Anybody else every experienced something similar? Maybe it was just my brain's odd little way of 'directing' my dreams, but I'd be interested to know if anybody had experienced similar.
