Last week we were learning about dreams and how they are hallucinations of the mind, and how we spend 6 years dreaming. I learned that there are 4 types of dreams: Nightmares, Lucid dreams, Recurring Dreams, and Prophetic Dreams. Nightmares are dreams almost every human have had or will have. they are always unpleasant. they also can be solutions to real life situations you are going through or thinking about. Lucid dreams are dreams where you realize you are dream and do things unrealistic because you are. While having these dreams your brain will start to wake you up because it doesn't like lucid dreams its either conscious or "real" dreams. Recurring dreams are dreams that happen over and over again with not a lot of change in the story. they usually are caused by issues in life that are neglected or ignored. They are usually solutions to these issues. Last but not least, are prophetic dreams. These dreams supposedly depict the future by piecing information together to make an educated guess about the on coming events.
My dream that i can think of right off the top of my head would be categorized as a recurring dream. It is in fact a nightmare which fits the description of a recurring dream. I was in my old house and everything had a very red tint to it and suddenly the front door bursts open and a black silhouette with two dogs is standing there and the floor starts to fill up with blood and I have to jump across couches to reach the stairs and go upstairs but then I get attacked by the dogs and I wake up. I almost always have this dream when I watch movies with lots of dogs.
