The ​Ultimate Dictionary of Dream Language

Recurring dreams are those that can go for years but as the event that the dream is representing gets closer in time the dream frame appears larger and closer to you. This allows the personality to know the event is forthcoming. For example, a recurring dream about a particular house may reveal a small house from a distance to a young child, yet each occurring dream thereafter will reveal a larger home at a closer distance. Finally, as an event is about to occur in reference to this house (perhaps a move or a visit), the frame looms large. These dreams are always pointing to a major event in our lives that may represent a drastic change. You have prior notice of this and can alter the outcome if it is a negative event. Although many of these dreams appear bad, they may be presented in a graphic way in order to be remembered and to stress importance. Do not confuse nightmares with low awareness dreams. Nightmares are simply a bad piece of theatre developed by the spirit to dramatize an impression by presenting a shocking scenario in an attempt to get a message across to the personality. There is a sense of urgency in the spirit's need to communicate and to ensure that you do not forget this message once you are awake. Most of the time this is a good message that you will be presented with opportunities and benefits you should not miss.

 This dream may also represent something that you or someone you recognize in the dream has no business getting involved with in reality. You have prior notice of this, can diffuse this situation and take steps to allow only positive expressions in your life. Make sure that you alert anyone you recognize to do the same. Nightmares imply that it is urgent for you to attend to some issue. We should be honored and thankful that we have prior notice and can attend to either a positive or a negative message. At some point in each person's life an experience will occur that is very frightening to the person going through this episode. This could be sleep paralysis and takes place during the dream stage, at the point of trying to awaken and most commonly during nightmares. This feeling is one of total physical paralysis when the dreamer feels they are desperately struggling to move. This experience is a warning to you that this will indeed occur in reality, though not in a real physical sense unless you are aware of your circumstances now. Be acutely aware of what is unfolding that will have a serious effect on your future.
