Hey Pandas, What Is The Strangest Recurring Dream You Have Had? (Closed)

For my first post ever on Bored Panda, I wanted to do my own Ask Pandas!
The strangest recurring dream I have had was when I was really young, like 3 or 4. I would have this dream where a monster comes into my room and I have to hide under the blankets and pillows to stay safe. It always ended with the monster exiting the room and saying he would find me next time.
So, what is your story?

I dream that it’s the last day of the semester and that all my classes have finals. The problem is that I’ve been skipping each class. On top of that, I don’t remember what time or what building any of my classes take place.

I keep going back to a freaky dream version of my college, usually the dorm. I'm returning to school from winter break (between semesters) to find that the school had thrown away all my stuff and other people are living in my room. Either that, or I'm trying to access my campus mailbox and can't get in it. (I did finish college.)

It isn't recurring, but I have these 3 kittens that show up repeatedly in dreams where I can smell my surroundings. They also inexplicably show up when my dream takes place in a dark mansion. I keep telling people its a sign that if I get three cats by those names I will get a mansion also.

Ok, I have a bit of a long one-
So I'm this teenage girl with purple hair pulled back into a ponytail and white skin (I'm not white). I'm with my 2 guy friends, one is a very nerdy scientist-looking kid and the other is this gothic boy. The nerd had this curly orange hair and freckles with a lab coat on. The goth guy was wearing a Sid from Toy Story style skull tee, with blue jeans and a black "cool guy" beanie. A minotaur had invaded the city that we lived in, and he had this army of creepy looking bug people. They had bony bodies, 4 arms and 2 legs, pale gray clammy skin and huge fly-like eyes. They me and my friends to the edge of our city, which led out to an ocean (so we had an island city?). We took took 3 seperate canoes (instead of sharing one, lol) and rowed passed this huge deserted island that was pretty much a giant rock sticking out of the water. Then we went passed this big, beautiful island with a waterfall and tropical birds flying around and just overgrowth everywhere. I have no idea why we didn't decide to stop at that island. Then we came to this big flat grassy island. And I mean FLAT. It was a perfectly level island, with no rocks or trees to ruin the flatness. THere was suddenly a big smiling sun (that didn't blind us to look at) and a few buildings on the island, like a village. We pitched our canoes and walked onto the flat, pale green grass. All of a sudden, these 3 people ran up to us exclaiming "Welcome, welcome!". A man stood up and actually talked to us. "We were waiting for you!" he said. He gave us a little tour of the island, and showed us a hotel where we could stay. It literally had 3 rooms. I took the top floor room. He resumed the tour and took us to the edge of the island, where the grass faded to this crystal clear glass. tHere were 6 unneatly stacked glass boxes that acted as cages for these weird Pac Man ghost looking thinks. There were 2 guards guarding the boxes, making sure no one breaks them and sets the creatures free (pretty dumb idea, considering these cages are glass). The touring man told us that these were forbidden boxes, and that me and my friends shouldn't try to break them. We took one step onto the glass floor to get a closer look at the creatures, and somehow those delicate steps cracked the glass floor epicly, and broke the boxes containing the strange colorful creatures. They were frozen for a split seconds, realizing that they were free. Then, 3 of them started chasing me and friends, while the others were fighting with the guards and the man that was touring us. Some of them ran (more like floated) into the village to chase the townspeople. I lost track of where my friends went, but I ran into the hotel, up the stairs to my room, and slammed the door behind me. I locked the door and ran over to the window. I knew I didn't have much time, since the creature was right on my tail and banging on the door, breaking it by the second. I broke the window, braced myself, and jumped out right as the ghost thingy managed to break the door down. Luckily my friends were right outside my window (how coincidental) to catch me. We just kinda ditched the people on the island and climbed back into our canoes, rowing back passed the other islands and onto our city island. We were just ready to fight off those bug people. Eventually, we fought through most of them and defeated the minotaur general, saving the whole town and blah blah blah. Yeah, I've had this dream a max of 4 times in a complete row. But whenever I do have this dream multiple times, it repeats in the E X A C T same way every single time, lol. So yeah, thanks for reading my ridiculously long dream description.

I started to have this strange dream short after I got married (12 years ago, when I was 29). I would jump in a swimming pool, with clear water, placed in middle of an open field. When I emerge from the water, I see the water turned murky and is full of big black dead fish, floating on their backs. I struggle to swim through them to get out of the pool... That's it. nothing happened tho, but it freaks me out every time. Thinking of that I just realized, I haven't dreamed it for a while....

I've had the same dream every night for the past couple of years. In real life, I'm a professional dancer, still performing and teaching at 72 years old. In the dream, I'm always on my way to a gig with my husband who helps me carry costumes, props, make-up case, etc. We're always in a crowded city, and always walking. Each time, the city is invaded by aliens who scoop up humans and turn them in robots. We haven't been caught by them yet, but I keep wondering if and when we do, what will happen to all my costumes??? Then I wake up...

I constantly have a dream that I'm in a life threatning situation such as falling off of a skyscraper, bieng kidnapped by people in masks with guns, or being eaten alive. I also have a dream that has incorporated my favorite food (sushi) in it. Sometimes in my dreams, I am a sushi chef, a sushi thief, or even being chase by sushi monsters. Sometimes I dream I am in a science fiction movie. But for some reason, sushi is always tied into story. I also have a lot of dreams where I am an invisible and nobody can see me. The dream imagines myself as a lonely spirit walking the halls of a house. Another dream that I've been dreaming frequently is the dream of becoming a monster or gaining superpowers.

When I was a little kid, I kept having this dream where I was eating dinner with my family and i saw a giant cartoon caterpillar in the other room, without raising it's head at all, it was easily as tall as the seat of my chair. I told my family what I saw, But they replied with
"Don't worry, Caterpillars don't grow that big".
Then the caterpillar came into our kitchen and sat right next to me. It didn't do anything menacing, but I was about five, and I was pretty freaked out.

I have this weird dream that would come every time my dad brought home a deer (he is a hunter). I like to watch him clean up the deer whenever he gets home so I am used to gorry stuff like that. well in my dream the deer has swapped places with my dad and I can't move so all I can do is just sit there as the deer cleans up my dad. though I am surprised that seeing that did not traumatize me. so um ya that was my weird recurring dream. ( side note cleaning up means like skinning the deer, removing organs, removing the head and extra limbs, and so on)

When I was around 6 years old I used to dream about a woman in a long white, hooded fur coat. When I got close to her she would turn around and her face was a bloody, scraped up mess. I hated that dream so much, I knew what was going to happen every time. Still shakes me up now, at 53.

So this is a little crazy but here we go:
First time: (around November 2019)
I hear a voice calling me. I feel a pull that I know to the core of my soul I must follow. So I go open my bedroom door and step out. Suddenly I’m in the middle of the street in front of my house. It’s in the middle of the night and the only lights on are the streetlights. There are a total of four streetlights at different but equal parts going from the main corner to the end of the street. Under each light is a man wearing a full suit and top hat. The man closet to me calls me again but this time it’s not my name but another. “Paca” I turn to the left and see another version of me but in ancient Egyptian royal clothing walking towards the man. My other self stops right in front of him, my hand sliding up his chest cupping his cheek. He leans down like he’s going to whisper something but I can hear him as if he was right next to me. He says “ People are going to die, sickness is always first when the time runs out” tons of emotion comes over me to the point where I fall on my knees. Grief, hatred, pain, and loss festering in my souls like locusts. The man is in front of me, my other self gone, he helps me up and says that I must be ready. I must be ready for the sick.
Second time: (sometime in April 2020)
The dream starts out the same way it did before except this time there is no second me. The first man is gone and under his streetlight is a single locust. I walk to the next streetlight and he says “paca come to me” I walk to him like a moth to a flame. He smiles at me and I look into his eyes and see chaos. He nods like he understands what I’m looking at. He says “to divide is to cause chaos in every way possible. Chaos is beauty wrapped in pain. Are you ready for pain paca? Can you take my type of chaos?” He laughs and then he screams my name “PACA!” It echoes like we are in a hallway and I fall into a dark mental space and all I hear are chants, angry yells and whispers. It’s to much so I put my hands up to my ears and scream. The man comes into my line of vision and says “don’t hide from the pain, embrace it! You can take it all paca! TAKE IT ALL!!” then it settles the chaos and it feels as if I’m in the eye of the storm ready to come. Then I wake up.
Third time: (Last Night)
Same as the last two I’m in the street in chaos’s streetlight is a moth. This on is the shortest dream so far but by far the worst pain I’ve ever felt. This man was slightly smaller than the last two but her still towered over me. He was smoking a cigarette and I got the feeling that he was the jokester out of the group. He called out my name again “paca” then he blew smoke in my face and laughed as I tried to swat it away. Although he seemed more laid back and less serious he still had a dangerous energy around him. He looked at me and said this “ Greed is everything to our people, greed and jealousy is what our people feel in everyday life. Be ready for it my sweet paca. Be ready for greed, be ready for envy. Be ready for pain.” My feet felt as though they were on fire, then they were green flames engulfed my body. I could feel everything, everyone’s greed, their envy. “Kill me! Kill me!” I screamed as this pain coursed through every cell of my body. He screamed at me to hold on and to just take the pain. It finally ended and I felt winded. He pushed my hair back and said I did a good job. “Envy is coming paca be ready” then I woke up.
