The settings are always similar. There's a mall, school, neighborhood, tree house and, downtown area that I almost always visit in my dreams. In my dreams I'm also still a student for some reason but I can never find which class I'm supposed to be in and if I am in the right class I never have the work with me or, any relevant notes or papers. Sometimes, while looking for the right class, I notice a ton of children running around so but there are also people my own age around too.
When I'm at the mall there is an arcade, a Hot-Topic/Suncoast/Spencers hybrid store and, a Play-n-Trade style store that I always frequent. The mall is made up of three floors, a basement and, an administrative level on the topmost floor which is separate from the stores and whatnot.
There are neighborhoods in my dreams where some people own dogs. The dogs HATE ME and a recurring theme is me being attacked by them. Luckily, I am able to subdue them by sitting on their necks and jumping. I am also able to swing, via tire-less ropes hanging from trees, from tree-to-tree.
The two most popular themes that come up a lot in my dreams are a lack of gravity (which manifests in me being able to jump and, fall dozens of feet into the air) and, nudity. I'm naked in many of my dreams but do become clothed at random intervals and without me consciously putting on the clothes.
This isn't as common as it used to be but from time to time I'll have a very detailed, highly realistic dream about the world being destroyed and coming to an end. One such dream was pretty mundane, where my family (father included) and I were in a penthouse in a big city (likely New York). Bombs began to fall, flame engulfed the streets below and neighboring buildings crumbled. Dad said something about hoping the guy would still be able to deliver a pizza. Other end of the world dreams are more abstract, like one in which I was floating through the void close enough to see Earth in great detail. As I floated around the planet though, my perception of the planet because inverted. The planet looked like it had turned to gold with bits of red. It was completely hollow and freaked me right the fuck out.
