I have strange dreams constantly, I had a reoccurring one during 2020, Where i would look outside and the entire street would suddenly lose all power. I lived in a very rural area but I lived across from an old Cemetery and the "recreational" building for the county school. No one lived on that street besides me, it was a historical district, I lived there as I was protecting the historic plots from squatters and such. However The dream was always me looking out the window, seeing the street lights suddenly go out. I would walk to the bathroom in my lit up house and then when i hit the light to turn my bathroom light on the power for all the lights would go out. I would look at my phone and the clock would say 12am, then I would look at the clock on the counter in the kitchen since it was the only illumination in the entire house and the time would read 1:63am then I'd try to check my phone again and it wouldn't turn on, then it would just crumble into pieces in my hands. I would then see what is just what I imagine Predator cloaking to look like in real life moving around the room, tall and lanky ones. I would go lay down and think "I must be hallucinating and i need to get some sleep" and then they would be crawling onto the bed, every time one put its huge paw like hands on my chest it would sink through my chest and hurt like hell... I had this dream every day for 6 months straight. Sometimes I'd wake up and go into my kitchen and open the fridge and then the power would go out and I would realize i was not even awake at all, I was still in the dream. Or sometimes I'd go to work, come home cook dinner sit down to eat and the second i took a bite of my food all the lights would go out and it would start happening again because I was never awake I had always been asleep.
Anyways yea that was a rough year, not because of the pandemic for me, because of this reoccurring nightmare and inception-like dreams. I wasn't on any new medications, or anything different that I had normally had. I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia shortly into 2021 whereas in 2022 I moved over 2k miles away and the new doctor told me I was not schizophrenic and took me off of every bit of my medication for 2 years in late 2024 I began back on ADHD medication and OCD medication. I have not had the reoccurring dreamscape like that it is mostly just liminal malls and inception-like dreams where I live out days,weeks,months of my life only to wake up in real life and realize none of that ever happened. But i've had those inception-like dreams for the past 35 or so years.
I'm not sure if it was the small town and there's some sort of curse or what. I still have wonky dreams but I've never had one like that one again.
I believe
