Repetitive dreams

I already posted about repetitive dreams of a guy keeps showing up, I don’t have updates on that him. Though He still shows up sometimes, slipping into my dreams wearing different faces but I always know it’s him. I recognize the way he moves, the energy he brings. No matter how he appears, the feeling he leaves behind never changes: safety, comfort, familiarity… like I've known him forever.

But this post isn’t about him.

It’s about a place also I've seen multiple times.

I’ve been dreaming of this same place for years since I was a kid. It’s a town with narrow streets and flickering orange lights. Sometimes it rains. Sometimes the water flows beside the roads. There are stairways everywhere and doors I keep opening like i need to be somewhere.

Each dream has new pattern and the people, there they’re all tall, unfamiliar, and I always have the feeling I shouldn’t talk to them. I don’t ask for directions. I just keep walking, like I know where I’m going even though when I wake up, I never really remember the destination. I always wake up before I reach that final place in the town.

I often regret what I wore in the dream, like white shoes when it rains like I wasn’t ready to be there. And there's always this unease, this pressure like I'm running out of time or trying to find something before it disappears.

What freaks me out is how vivid and consistent it all is.

I’ve had these dreams on and off for years, and they’ve stayed weirdly consistent. So I don’t think it’s about stress or my mental health. I just… don’t know why it keeps coming back.
