Top 5 Recurring Themes In My Dreams


Kenji Saito (psyche@yk.rim.or.jp)

  1. Huge building complex

    My dreams often take place in a huge building complex. Sometimes, it is where I work. Sometimes, it is where I live or stay. Sometimes, it is where I shop. Almost always, the building comes with an elevator, and quite a few times such an elevator moves horizontally.

    In some occasions, the building complex is situated in Manhattan.

  2. Transportation

    I often ride trains and airplanes in my dreams. Inevitably, many scenes are situated in train/subway stations and airports. I am usually in transit and busy at those places.

    I do not have a driver's license, but I have driven cars a few times in my dreams.

  3. Flying

    I usually fly when I achieve lucidity in my dreams. The first time I flew was when I was thirteen or fourteen, and I had to do butterfly stroke in the air. It was more like swimming than flying. Later in my life, I eliminated swimming actions from my flying style, and I learned to fly at will without particular body movements.

    I usually fly in the dark. I am careful not to touch electric cables when I fly over a Japanese landscape.

  4. Stars

    Movie stars and musicians appear in my dreams. The guest most frequently appeared in my dreams is probably Ryuichi Sakamoto.

  5. Internal organs

    I do not dream of my internal organs anymore, but when I was an elementary school student, I often did. In these dreams, I dissected myself, and after I pulled out my important organs, I called for a help to put them back in my body.
