I barely have any recurring dreams, though there are a few exceptions that I remember:
The only thing that's very recurring since, I don't know, 4 years, is that most of my dreams are semi-lucid, somehow I have control over it and know it, but that doesn't necessarily mean I know it's a dream. It's really fun.
This one skipped a few months or years before coming back, and I think it's a common one: I dream I am either shirtless or just in my underwear in public places. On the bright side, no one seems to notice, even me, I just tell when that semi-lucidity comes up and think: ''Wait... isn't this out of place?... OH SNAP!''. I haven't had it in a long time.
Speaking of semi-lucidity, the most recurring theme I have is a videogame-like control over my dreams. I often wonder what I would do if I could stop time, so this is no surprise.
Sometimes I'm in a dangerous situation and somehow I can hit pause and just get the hell out of there. Problem is, for some reason I can't do it inmediately and start to get desperate, and at the very last second, I hit it.
Another variation of it, is when I get completely lucid. I'm in a dangerous situation and realize everything is lost, from one second to another I change and realize what's happening is not real (either that or just have very high hopes it's not), so I hit pause whenever I want, and go to some sort of main menu, I can never remember what the options in the menu are, but I believe one of them is ''Exit'' and when I hit it I wake up.
Yet another variation of it is to just have the ability to stop time, however, each time I dream it, it decreases, since apparently it's power relies on my faith in it and it has faded overtime, to this point everytime I use it everybody around me knows it and just moves around mocking me or not caring at all.
I think the most interesting one is an on-going story I've had.
It's interesting because each part plays after a lot of years since the last one, I'm talking of at least 3.
It's a story about vampires, every kind of vampire that has appeared in any form of media is in this. It started with a weird vampire that resembled Ursula from the Little Mermaid in a mansion/villa hidden in a forest. Where a lot of my friends are turned into vampires by her and start chasing me, at the end they bring me before that Ursula-like vampire, betray her and kill her.
After that it expands into a bigger story that takes place all over the world, all with people I know.
Another thing that makes this so great is that this story is just epic. It takes awesome twists, has a great plot and great battles and every person is well characterized.
This story, so far, has been exempt from that semi-lucidity rule, no matter what, I never know I'm dreaming it. It's a lot of fun too!
