Also all 3 of us kids have had dreams where we are naked in a store and my mom is there and we're like "Mom, I'm naked! I need some clothes!" and mom says something like "No. I can't buy you any. They're not on sale right now." and we're just standing there naked, mortified, and hoping nobody notices.

I think it's really funny that my brother, sister, and I have all had that dream. I guess that says something psychologically about what we think about our mom's frugality? Lol. less

Thanks for describing your dreams! The nightmares usually don't sound so scary when you recount them, do they? I laughed so hard when you said, if you see geese, shit's about to go down! I wish I was an expert & could tell you why your family has dreams in common, but what a neat phenomenon! I wonder if it happens more than we know? At least the naked in the store one is easy to interpret, but how interesting that all three of you had it! I'm sure your mom never mean to stress you guys out about financial matters. She probably thought she was showing you how to be responsible with money & live within your means. Alas, children have a different view on things & it usually involves just wanting to be the same as everyone else & fit in. less

I used to have a lot of recurring dreams but lately they've been pretty varied.
Even earlier in the year I had recurring ones. I guess since my life has calmed down, my dreams did too.

The ones that stick out to me the most are the recurring nightmares I had as a kid. When I was about 5 I had dreams where I would start at my bedroom and be chased from my room upstairs to the living room by a big hand and a human eyeball (I don't even know.) They would either catch me and I'd wake up or I would fall into a hole in the floor and they would stand there laughing at me. This sounds really weird when I write it out lol.

The other recurring nightmare themes I had when I was younger were white geese. I think it's because I had a Mother Goose figurine in my closet that I didn't like. Basically when geese showed up I knew shit was about to go down. I had a bunch of those dreams for years. They were usually all different scenarios but involved evil geese. Chasing me a lot of the time. I still don't like geese today!

Oh I know one that I have now! My grandma and mother get these dreams too... I haven't had one in a while but they're dirty bathroom dreams. Basically I have to pee really bad in a public place and I go to find a bathroom and the toilets are all overflowed or really nasty and dirty and I keep looking around for another one while desperately having to go. Grandma said that in some of hers the stall doors are like half of the height they usually are so she would be exposed. Are some dreams genetic??? What is the psychological meaning here. less

I would tend to think that you and your grandmother worried about similar things, and so your anxiety was displayed in a similar way through a dream. Perhaps you have been worried about the way you're perceived by other people. People losing or damaging teeth, hair, or skin, or being exposed or naked in public in some way are the second or third most common dream after chase dreams and falling dreams. Many people feel these dreams are connected with anxiety about public perception.

I'm just some person, not an expert. I could totally be wrong. I just love dreams and read a lot about them. less
