I’m back from my Substack break!
Last week I asked y’all to tell me about where your dreams take place - the setting or background. Mine often take place in schools both real and imagined, mostly elementary and college campuses. Sometimes they turn into malls.
Here’s your answers!
Your most mentioned places
Your childhood home
Your grandma’s house
Giant public bathrooms with no privacy
Some specific ones
I am 47. There is a whole weird semi-medieval town I visit every 3-4 weeks in my dreams
At least 50% of the time, I’m in my childhood best friend’s house. Haven’t spoken to her in 30 years.
My grandma’s overgrown backyard in Mississippi, doesn’t matter what the dreams about.
I have a recurring decrepit old house that has a hidden doorway into an immaculate dining room. The hot anesthesia tech who I puked on during my c-section is often a background person.
And lots that showed up multiple times
