Recurring dream

Have you ever had a dream that has been repeating inside your mind for years? I have three of them and today I'm going to tell you what is about:

This dream starts with me in flat, I was like the boss to construct the whole building, the construction was on early stage. I know I did something ilegal to find the money to construct the bulding but I'm not sure what it is, I'm talking to a woman about this fact and I see some men got out of a black car and start to run after me. I run as they shoot me with their guns I keep running up to a hill tired but afraid enough to keep the run but the hill goes to and end and I find myself on the border of an abyss. There I have two options: I let the men cacth me and shoot me or throw myself down the abyss ... Everytime I have this dream I take the second option, I don't know how but I survive the men can't beliave it and they are not brave enough to throw themself to the abyss ... Severe injured I kept runing until I find a river and I hug a trunk and let myself go down the river until I reach a beautifull village where they cure me ... ... ...

I have had this dream for about 20 years I have been trying hard to take the first option, let the men shoot me just to see what happends but until now I haven't been able to do so because even I know I'm dreaming I doubt "What if this is not a dream" so I throw myself everytime it's a very complex paradox ... When I wake up realizing it was the same dream as always I inmediately remember a line in the Matrix movie where morpheus say to Neo "Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?"

The fact is that "You can't know the diference"

You might want to do a research on lucid dreaming xD. It's all about finding out whether you are dreaming now or not. Hint: if you want to check whether you are dreaming right now just pinch your nose and try to breathe. Can you do it? If yes, then you are dreaming right now hahha. It's a fascinating subject which I have written a whole guide on.

we can only know for sure when we wake up....

How do you know you are awake right now?

We will know it when we sleep our final sleep

I've had a similar reoccurring dream when I was young as well. Only I was standing at the end of a endless, massive hole in the ground. I saw myself as only you can in dreams and I saw all these nightmares surround me. Rather then succumb to claws and gnashing teeth -- I plunge into the hole. I always wake up though when I do. I escape the fate of it.

The dream continued for only 3 years. But I'm surprised you didn't wake when you fell. I always did.

Somehow I knew I was going to be alive after the long fall

Crazy. Yeah, I had those - as a kid. For many years, but they stopped. Now I rarely dream. Can't remember having dreamed for years. It's very nice. I just go into a coma and wake up again :)

hahahaha how old are you now?

36 :)

Just like me :) the 80's team hahahaha
