Is there like an alternate universe that you visit in your dreams?

Yes. Always a positive experience. Sometimes it's tracing my way back to somwhere I once lived in real life.
There's always a sense of community, solidarity, and interaction with others in these dreams.

In others, it may be entirely a product of fiction, but none the less exciting. Dystopian plots, and landscape, on which we're chasing or running from a counter insurgency.

Many recurring dreams, visiting a place again. Or part #2 of the previous night's story.



For years, I was looking for someone in my dreams. A buddy I'd actually lost contact with from an old neighborhood.

I don't think I revisit places. I just remember them from my past dreams. The city I live in expands and I often find myself in the part that in reality doesn't exist and which I don't know. It always looks differently. I had one of these dreams last night.

There's been a few over the years.

One was a cabin on the mountain, and it had all sorts of paranormal monsters and whatnot.
The whole vibe was extremely negative and strong, so I would need a few days to get rid of that feeling irl after each dream.

Twenty-five years ago when I was doing Lucid Dreaming there was a place I visited frequently that was beautiful and friendly and like nothing on Earth but very real. I always wanted to stay.

Nope, always different universes but I'm always trying to solve some sort of mystery. 🤔

It's in space, by one of those satellite things, and a big robot is floating nearby doing mime movements that are supposed to symbolize certain important things that would free my mind if known while awake.

Oh yes, there's the one that King Kong is chasing me up a highscraper

i recently had a notion for a story along these lines. sort of a sandman reversal kinda thing.

What makes you think it's not this universe?
