Reccuring Dreams
I think everyone has had some sort of recurring dream, or at least a recurring element in it, at some point in their life. For example, when I was a kid I had this weird recurring dream about ATMs becoming sentient and taking over the world.
I remember having recurring dreams for two weeks about Sephiroth in 2020. He was still that pre-Nibelheim incident Sephiroth as portrayed in Crisis Core, but he was pretty much aware of what was about to happen. He talked about it with 'me'. This 'me' was the real me, Zack and Cloud all at the same time. Every time it happened he was aware that it wasn't the first time we'd talked about it. I don't think it went anywhere. Well, maybe it did, but the the memories of those dreams aren't vivid anymore. And as suddenly as they appeared, they ended abruptly.
It's been a while since I had a recurring dream. But I often see the inside of apartment buildings in my dreams. And they are all fucked up. There is no reason for it except time. Lots of mold, leaky pipes and puddles of water. And there is also a green filter like in the movies. Sometimes I see shopping malls in my dreams. But unlike the apartment buildings, they're different. Sometimes it's a Christmas-decorated mall full of people, sometimes it's a certain abandoned part of a mall with a blue filter that fills me with uneasiness. Now that I think about it, the latter part is literally a liminal space. Hah, I never thought of that before. Interesting.
Another recurring element in my dreams is my hometown. But it's less about the people and more about the environment, like my apartment, my school (ugh), the streets. I guess I just can't let go of these places.
I wonder what it all means? Maybe the one about the fucked up apartment buildings says something about my mental state. But what about the one about the ATM revolution? Is there a deeper meaning to it, or is there no meaning to it at all?
