Do you have any common dream labyrinths? Recurring locations, not necessarily always exactly the same.

Some may be connected to each other, some may not. They may be large regions or they may be singular buildings or even rooms. It's all pretty unique to the individual, really, but identifying dream labyrinths is one of the biggest steps to gaining lucidity while dreaming since it allows one to better identify when they're in a dreamscape and not reality.

For me the majority of my dreams take place within large overdeveloped cities, often with skyscrapers blocking out the sky or at the very least buildings blocking out much of it. I've also noticed that it tends to be divided into three interconnected regions, which I usually can travel between. That being a central, very overdeveloped, city which is practically a concrete jungle, a more suburban area with slightly more open layouts, some areas even being open parks and campuses with the sky openly visible and a notable amount of greenery, and then finally an outskirts region where there are usually dilapidated buildings being reclaimed by nature and it's more overgrown instead of being overdeveloped. There are some recurring locations in each, but they do tend to move around a bit.

Do you have any which you're willing to share?

I often have what I call "the traveling dream," where I'm in the middle of a long journey from somewhere to somewhere. It's usually on the train or platform in Europe, but not always. Sometimes it's at an airport. The vibe is uncertainty and anxiety and loneliness, and missing the place I left and the people I left behind. I'm worried about missing my stop/connection and obsessively check my ticket and passport. I keep checking the route map and looking around at people I don't know and can't communicate with and will never meet again. Even though I know what my destination is, I don't entirely know what to expect when I get there, and both the past and future seem unreal and only the journey exists.

@SW-User Sounds to me like you've dealt with quite a lot of uncertainty in your life and been forced to navigate it on your own. Very interesting dreamscape.
