Recurring dreams of exact cityscapes that don't exist...

[Guest]

The dream building I was lost in had a huge auditorium, like a music hall. I opened another door in the same building, and it was an old man's musty-smelling bedroom. Just a hodge podge of different settings in one building.

Although I can find my way around the whole dream city quite easily, that building stands out because it's set back from the street a ways. Everything else is right on the street. It's not a spooky looking building. In fact, it's so non-descript, I couldn't even tell you what it looks like from the outside. Some kind of mid-20th century institutional style of brick architecture, I think.

It seems possible that both our kinda dreams are really just symbolically expressing emotions or some boring explanation like that. But I want to look at it through a more exciting lens. You know how REAL these places feel. There's something deeper to all of it.

Exactly, really can't even explain it... like the outside of the museum/hotel is the same, just nondescript. It's like it doesn't render because it's not important or something. Yet, the circle inside/top shape of the building IS important for some reason.

This seemed like, present day, it would have been a building from the 1800s. But this building (which had become the museum/hotel) was what a historical Greek/Roman style building would be if it was built NOW, and this dream took place like 150 years later or something.

The whole vibe of these dreams and their features is next to impossible to describe.

My hometown is one of these cityscapes, and I have only in recent years started having dreams that involve its "main street" area...

I dream sometimes of my old hometown in a modified or improved version... like it has hills with vistas and seems bigger or the main drag has different restaurants and shops filled with strange people I've never seen. I get a feeling like a mix of longing and fulfilling that longing all at once. Like being home but still wishing you were home. Hard to describe. The only architecture I recall is this one classical 1800s bank building that was a Subway when I was in high school and I dreamed it was a crowded Mexican restaurant.
One time it got nightmarish when I was at a friend's pool party on the nicest street in town, the one with the biggest houses it was a bright sunny day and life seemed dreamlike in this dream but something felt off.
Gradually we all began to notice that the sun was moving backwards in the sky and setting in the east.
Very fucked up and chilling feeling that I still remember to this day years later, dunno why.

Wow... damn.

So it seems like this is common... we dream about the towns we grew up in, or are really familiar with, but they're alternate versions.

With buildings that LOOK historical and are supposed to be historical, but the feeling of time is always off somehow.

The historically significant buildings... that's what intrigues me the most.

It occured to me that when we dream, our consciousness enters into another parallel dimension and we can choose to stay there or return to
our original one.

That's how we jump between dimensions.
