What is the most common thing you find in a dream?

I get that sometimes. Sometimes it can be people from TV, a movie, or just random people. Another freaky thing that happens is if I have the TV on sometimes the peple in my dream are saying exactly what the TV characters are saying.

General otherworldliness. Buildings that don't obey the laws of physics, three-eyed multi-legged neon cats, trains running on onychophoran legs. Things like that.

The world perpetually frozen in a state of sunrise or sunset- that is, crepuscularity.

I usually have really colorful, complex, crystaline landscapes.

Aliteration not intended.

That sounds pretty!

I often dream about being in a dystopian future and trying to escape Thought Police mooks chasing after me. Or being lost in giant, labyrinthine buildings. Occasionally they're combined.

Most of my dreams emphasize the places they are set in. I've had dreams about some places more than once. Others have only appeared once, though I tend to remember the places. Interestingly, most of them could be placed on a map of my hometown to indicate their positions relative to each other. Visually, they should overlap, but my dreams treat them as separate places that are arranged a certain way.

The school I went to, people I went there with, some people in particular that I went there with, reliving memories related to all of the above.

I have unresolved issues relating to that place and those people, if you hadn't guessed by now. It's all rather fascinating, albeit revisiting that place every night is rather unpleasant.

It all gets a lot more pronounced when I've taken some kind of strong painkiller at any point before I go to sleep, strangely enough.

A lot of the time in my dreams the "I" character isn't me. Most of the time it's a guy or sometimes a more feminine girl. Sometimes my dreams aren't even in first-person.

Aside from that, my dreams feature a lot of grocery and department stores (even before I worked at some and even now they're completely different from work dreams), bodies of water, and flying, complete with big sweeping panoramas of the scenery. The flying dreams usually involve me fleeing from a bunch of people who are trying to kill me, either imminently or in a "making a journey by flying to escape the people who want to kill me, hope they don't find me on the way" kind of way. I used to have a lot of dreams that had random characters with Napoleonic-era uniforms too.

I also have a variant of the "going to school naked dream" in the "showing up for work inappropriately dressed dream" as I've had a lot of jobs where I had to wear a hat, pants (as opposed to shorts), and shoes (as opposed to sandals).

My teeth falling out. This is apparently a very great subconscious fear of mine.

That's pretty common, I think. I've never had it, though.

Me having to return back to the HS

I have been dreaming a lot about broken swords lately. My swords, to be specific.

Team Fortress 2. I don't play it, and I have no plans to play it, but TF 2 is the setting for a surprising number of my dreams regardless.

Fire, ruin and a sense of a nameless but imminent threat. The sound of fire being exchanged in the distance and the smell of smoke. Familiar places shattered and scorched.

A knowledge that I and the few who stand with me will likely not survive what's coming, but will stand nonetheless.

A giant wave rushing towards me. I never run from it. I know I can't get away. I'm too close. Others may be around and they will try to run. I will stare in a mixture of awe, dread, and acceptance. I didn't mention this thing...It's pretty damn common along with malls and teeth falling out...SOMETIMES I'VE MANAGED ALL THREE.
