Whether you're a total novice or some reality-being demideity, I'm curious if any of you have any settings within your dreams which are more or less permanent: you visit there often, things you do there in one dream will still be there in the next, there's some kind of plotline that the setting follow and each of your dreams there picks up where the plot arc last left off, dream characters may make a home there, or the place may simply come up in dream conversation often or be stuck in the back of your mind. It could be a room, a building, a town, a city, or a planet, and there could be one of them or several of them or none at all. This could be someplace where you visit while nonlucid or lucid. Did you make it yourself or did it simply appear to you?

If you do have these persistent worlds, do you place any special importance on them or are they just anomalous recurring dream images to you? Do they seem more familiar than a random dream location ought to be, or once again do they mean nothing to you? Do you have ideas as to why this place might be a regular part of your nocturnal journeys? Do they have a name and a history?


While I don't have much luck with persistent dream environments, I am rather fascinated with what might cause a person to regularly manifest the same place in their dreams from night to night, especially since we are led to believe that dreams are completely random series of firing neurons, which ought to negate the possibility of recurring dream places.
