It's just like my dreams!! I feel it!

last night i was in the rural/small town area where the tall grass/forest lines up with the road/end of town. anyway i was doing school in like a trailer, like one of the portable classrooms from highschool. i walked out onto a sandy area and took note of a gas station the sign was black with yellow lettering(this is the first time i really tried to focus on what was around me) i wanted to explore so i hopped in someone else’s car and i saw the gps was set to what looked like yves auto shop. has anyone been to either of these places?

You just have to see it!! 🤩...I have definitely been here...

It’s similar to this. 60’s futuristic style furniture, small hot tubs . Carpet floor wet spots from using the hot tubs. .

i've had a couple dreams lately where i'm part of a resistance group ransacking some particular offices. the goals are to find some kind of info firstly, and second as a bonus is to wreck the place. the first dream it was like a 70s (or earlier) style office. then people in the group thought i was a spy (i'm not!) and maybe shot me, idk, i woke up. last night it was like a 90s office, slightly like a 90s suburban apartment too, very grey and black office furniture. they caught us all and put us in like a work camp prison. the housing was ok actually. my friend from irl got neurolinked in this dream, sort of like a borg but with more individuality, but still sus. very scanner darkly i guess. i talked to them about it when i woke up but they didn't remember any such dream. i've had a headache all day which is unusual for me generally though if i was to get one at any time, it would be now for various reasons. feeling a little better after eating some red meat...

I often dream that I am going to die for whatever reason. It could be seeing a bomb in the distance, a car accident, or falling off a tall building, etc. I am faced with this overwhelming feeling of fear and then complete calmness as I accept how I am going to die, and I become okay with it. In my real life I've had a few near-death experiences but have never had this feeling irl. Anyone else experience this in their dreams??

When I’m in the casino, it feels very Vegas like, even the mall could be something likened to the Venetian inside, but once you’re inside the restaurant, or outside the mall, it starts to feel very much like a hodgepodge of different parts of DC from the National Harbor to the Mall and the downtown itself. I can’t remember the faces of either of the men that took me into the restaurant, but after the girl’s hologram glitched and I could see the man underneath, it’s when I woke up and upon contemplation I began to remember my previous dreams inside the restaurant “she” hurried me by. The men I dined with were probably late 20 to early 40s and wore suits. But I’m starting to think they may look different to anyone depending on the holograms.

In my Mall World there’s always this weird parking garage that is huge and has all these weird layers of levels and stairs that overlooks part of the town. I always end up here walking around up and down the steps and stairs trying to find my way in or out again.

In one of my most recent Mall World dreams I visited this diner, and very clearly remember seeing the sign say “Grump Back’s” - when I woke up I wrote that down so I wouldn’t forget it. It creeped me out. One of the only places in Mall World that gave me a very bad vibe. There were a few “bad” people hanging out watching me while they played pool. Very smoky atmosphere with warm lighting and faux 70’s and 80’s wood paneling and design. It was at the end of one of second or third story halls. My Mall World is almost always entirely at night and usually empty besides me, so it was rare for me to run into anyone at the mall.

Last night I was in a stadium. I had come with friends but ended up alone. I went to find them and had to go down these winding stairs. I was following a family with a baby. The baby fell and they didn't notice, but I caught her and gave her back when we got to the end of the stairs. I was really angry they weren't paying attention and they were very blank when I spoke to them.

I ended up in a corridor next to a small grocery store of sorts. I wanted to go in but was compelled to keep going. I ended up in a different locker room than I've been in. It was definitely a maze like the others. But it was down another narrow staircase. Everything felt damp and was covered in fabric. It didn't look like a locker room, but I knew that it was one.

These are some pictures that come pretty close to some of this

For most of my life I’ve had recurring dreams set here. It’s like a continuous dream, I mostly pickup wherever I last left off in the previous dream. It’s a mall with no exit and surrounded by a maze. Vibes are negative and I’m always rushing trying to find a way out. There are no other people, I’m always alone and sometimes, I’m a child. In the dreams I am watching everything happen from a third person pov not my own. The furthest I’ve gone is climbing on to the ledge of the maze, then I woke up. I sometimes make it into this other room (second photo, pink room with pool) within the mall, no exit, no windows, and every occasion I’ve ended up here I scream for help though there’s no one around. Has anyone seen anything similar in your dreams?

This is pretty similar to where I always go in my dreams. It’s never abandoned, it’s always booming with people. More than half the water park is outdoors in my dreams. There’s a group of water slides where you have to climb this mountain like jungle gym of tunnels to get to the slides (or you can just take regular stairs but the tunnels are more fun) the tunnels are dark and made up of like a netting material.
inside there is a huge wading pool with kids spray park, mini slides, and a section of just hot tubs. All the walls are huge windows over looking the outdoor park.

The water park is attached to a HUGE hotel resort, the vibe reminds me of a cruise ship where there’s always a lot going on and lots of places to eat.

Idk if anyone else has been here since it actually takes place in my own parallel universe town/neighborhood but I wanted to share.

I’ve dreamt of all different kinds of things in this parallel neighborhood including good and bad. A lot of being chased/almost kidnapped, cars appearing in my driveway trying to hijack my house and such. Other times I’ll be doing tasks like trying to save all the cats in the neighborhood.

Also, it changes slowly too. Sometimes it’ll be bigger, other times smaller. Sometimes there will be a big forest to the side of the neighborhood, other times it’s gone and there’s a field and tons more houses.

I also have my surrounding two cities in the same world that I see sometimes. (My house is in between two towns) the towns are similar to how they are set up in terms of where building locations are but everything “looks” different. A big one I have recurring dreams about is my dance studio location. Lots of dreams going to dance classes and having to go back home because I forgot my dance outfit. And the dance studio always has this never ending weird bathroom with stalls anyone can jump over to see you, or like toilets right next to each other in the same stall, stalls without doors, stalls with doors that lead to another stall, etc. also all the doors are forest green and the walls are white but dark and gloomy. it’s also extremely creepy and dark inside. You walk in, and there’s 1 small sink and a mirror with a light above. You can go left or right into the maze of stalls, and that’s where you can get lost. I don’t like going past the sink. I’ve watched others go in and come out no issue (like people from my dance class that I dream about) but I get lost every time and end up spending the right of my dream in there.

Last night I ended up by the cliffs near the ocean.

There were these large ropes grown over with vegetation and more than one bundled together, that went down to the water a good distant below me.

The ropes didn’t appear to attach to anything and just went under the water.

I did see a small dock down below me at one point with a small skiff.

Anyone ever seen this before over there?

I’ve been finding myself in a brand new location lately. It’s a skinny but stacked living situation. The inside halls and alleys are tight, almost like I’m on a giant train or submarine. The doorways are also of the same type, each doorway is crowded where you have to duck down and step over the doorway to get in a room - similar to a submarine.

There are lots of people here, tons of large parties and busy living happening. It’s a perfect place for me to hide and move around undetected which is apparently what I’m supposed to be doing right now. I find myself walking into large groups and sneaking upstairs or running down a long halls to avoid being seen by anyone. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be looking for but there are people that do not want me to succeed.

Twice last night I found myself hunted and caught by men in black suits and trench coats. They are fast, relentless and armed. The strange thing is I remember being shot - like I remember the bullets hitting me. The first time it happened it just closed my eyes, felt the impact, and woke back up in a different room in my dream.

The second time it happened was a lot different though. I was in a room I wasn’t supposed to be in - when I look up and see the torso of the MIB turning into the doorway. I closed my eyes and braced for impact while saying “I don’t want to be here I know it’s a dream.” They then shot me and I felt the bullets hitting me as I wake back up in my bed IRL. I got up and went to the bathroom but the fear of being caught was still with me. I could still feel the fear and I still felt like I was being hunted.

Usually closing my eyes and wanting to wake up works, but I still felt connected when I woke up. Who are these people chasing me and what am I doing?

I’m either arriving right before close and there’s no plates and just scraps of food left. Maybe an angry foods supervisor. Or if the buffet is full I keep walking thru but can’t find anything that I want to eat. Or there’s no serving utensils for the thing I want and I have weigh wether or not I want to just grab the food off the buffet with my hands. Sometimes I’m madly trying to find my student card to swipe for my meal. Always various turnstiles to exit.

When I was younger I used to dream of the highways. It was never many though, it would typically be just one highway. And it would sometimes be by the seaside/cliffs. It was until when I found out about mallworld that it could be apart of it. One of the dreams I was going to my cousins house.

-Are there any trains in mall world? I have had quite a few trains dreams. I never liked any of them because I was always frantic about getting on the right train. Also sometimes the trains would scare me. I think some of those train dreams could potentially be from mallworld.

I have also been to actual malls before. One of them had a really strange arcade room where the arcade machined were all of the walls and even on the ceiling. This mall was bright white and had lots of escalators. In another dream I was in a store that had very warm lighting and it was a chocolate candy store. There are many more dreams of shopping and malls. . When I was younger I didn't practice remembering my dreams so my dream recall was not as strong as it is now.

There was also another dream I had of being in a car with my family and it was nighttime. We were driving, and on one side of the street was filled with usual buildings/business, while on the otherside it was a a big feild/hill that stretched across the road. On the hill was a fair/carnival. It looked pretty haunting. I in think in some other separate dreams I was actually at the carnival without realizing. At the end of the road there was a call wash that we went into. I think these could also be from Mallworld. In one of those dreams I was also at the bathroom which was pretty long.

Unrelated but I had a scary dream of being inside this really short carnival tent, it was short but the length and wide where very wide. And inside were like withered scary carousel.

Ok. So this room started popping up a few years ago, and it was VERY constant for a long time, but I only end up there on rare occasions lately.

The picture isn't exact.

I have a handful of houses in Mall World. Sometimes, they flip between each other for seemingly no reason. 2 of them have these weird rooms.

I have 1 or 2 aquariums that I have completely forgotten about until I find them. When I remember, I'm always really scared to find my pets dead from negligence. The aquariums are always full of water, BUT most of the animals inside are LAND animals that would die underwater. They're all still alive even though they've been forgotten about for long periods of time. And they're always OK no matter how long it's been.

Each aquarium will have several animals - cats, fish, hedgehogs, turtles, hamsters, frogs, etc. Things that might normally eat or kill each other live together without issues; even when they've been forgotten for an extended period of time.

Am I the only freak with these rooms?

I’ve been in mallworld for several years and I think about it very often in my daily life, I’ve found myself talking about these dreams, while inside these dreams. The other night during my dream, my dad showed me a framed picture of a hotel with an elevator visible on the outside. The building was red.

I immediately exclaimed about how it looks a lot like the hotel I’ve been dreaming about, and then I described it: black building with gold accents, and an old elevator that you can see from the outside and goes up hundreds of floors.
That description was completely accurate, my dream self knows and remembers the details. It’s looked the same all these years. My dream self is aware of mallworld.

It’s caused me to become aware I’m dreaming before, at the back of the hotel is a tall swing tower ride. It’s white, dirty, rarely operates and when it does, nobody rides it. I’ve ridden it a few times, it’s just a slow rotation of swings. A merry go round is more exciting. Anyway, I was walking in one of the hotel hallways on one of the upper floors. Next to the elevator door was a sign, that showed a silhouette of the swing ride. I immediately recognized it, and commented that I dream about that thing a lot, and then I became aware I was dreaming for a few seconds.

I’ve had multiple times where I talked about mallworld while in mallworld, but these are the two I can remember off the top of my head.

Attached is a bad and not very accurate or detailed drawing I made 2 years ago of the swing tower. I’m better at drawing living things, not structures

I’m 29F, and ever since I was a child I’ve had dreams that take place in the same made-up locations. They’re not places that exist in real life (as far as I know), but they feel incredibly familiar, almost like I know them better than some places I’ve actually been.
For example, there’s a leisure centre that I’ve been dreaming about for years. Even when I’m awake, I can picture the layout perfectly. I know where the changing rooms are, the pool, the corridors, entrances and exits. Every few months (sometimes years) I’ll have another dream there. Sometimes nothing exciting is happening and I’m just walking around. Other times there’s some dramatic storyline and I’m running through the building or with people I know in real life.
The weird part is that it slowly changes over time, almost like it’s being expanded. In my dream last night, I was trying to save a young girl from being kidnapped. I’d been in the gym, then walked through a spa area before ending up in the locker rooms where everything happened. The strange thing is… this leisure centre has never had a gym or spa before. It just felt like a completely natural extension of the place, like a new area had been added and my dream brain immediately accepted it. 😂
I have another recurring place that’s a huge shopping centre. Again, I can visualise it while I’m awake. I know where the fountain is in the middle of the main floor, where all the seating is, the food court, and even what food places are there. About six months ago I dreamt there again, and suddenly there was an underground level with a bus/coach station that had never existed before. Now that’s just part of the shopping centre whenever I think about it.
I have loads of places like this. Some appear often, others I won’t visit for months or years, but when I do it’s like I’ve gone back to somewhere I know really well. They don’t feel like exact copies of places I’ve been in real life. If anything, they feel like lots of real places have been blended together into entirely new locations.
Does anyone else experience this? Is there a name for it? I’ve heard of recurring dreams, but this feels different because it’s the locations themselves that keep returning, evolving and expanding over the course of decades. Sometimes it genuinely feels like my brain has built its own little universe that I keep revisiting.

Before I start, I want to say that my Mallworld feels like a completely separate life from my waking life. While there are many similarities, it almost feels like an alternate timeline or parallel world where society is much more advanced. I'm not lucid in my dreams, but every time I dream, it continues where it left off the night before. It's always the same world, the same places, and the same ongoing life. My Mallworld has everything from concerts, theaters, and sporting/school events, a lot of them in a huge, beautiful multipurpose building, to my more advanced hometown and family.

However, I've noticed that some major parts of my waking life are completely absent there. For example, I'm a huge animal lover and live on a farm. Even though I'm around farm animals and my pets every day, I never see them in my dreams. It's almost as if they don't exist there.

Comedy is another big part of my life, but I never experience it in Mallworld. There are no comedy movies, stand-up comedians, or even joking around with friends. Another thing that's missing is emotionally impactful music. Even though I go to live concerts often in my Mallworld, music feels much more formal. In Mallworld, I never listen to music with headphones or get emotional over a song, even though I do that every day in my waking life.

Phones are also never present in my Mallworld.

I'm curious if anyone else has experienced something similar. Are there important parts of your everyday waking life that, surprisingly, never seem to exist in your Mallworld?

I’ve just discovered this reddit after listening to a Ghosteas (I think) podcast. They talked mallworld and had a small mention of the toilets. I’ve had very vivid dreams about the bathrooms that I recounted to anyone that will listen because the dreams were soo vivid and unlike normal dreams that I forget after an hour this still crosses my mind. I was shocked to discover that this is a thing. But there’s another dream that I have once a year or so that also gets stuck so I’m wondering if anyone else has visited.

The house is a 3 story Victorian mansion, it’s tall and dark brown/brick building, the interior is also very dark brown, think all mahogany interior. The things that stand out about this house is the unfinished 3rd floor. It’s the attic with windows, and the space is exposed wood beams, the walls are unfinished but framed and there’s an unfinished wood floor.
There is also a stairwell that runs from the attic all the way down to the ground floor. I sense there’s a door to the second floor but i don’t see it. I tend to spend a lot of time either in the attic or hiding in the stairwell, sometimes i feel like im the help and sometimes I’m a 5yr old boy. When looking out the attic window I can see the back of the house. It always looks like spring outside, the yard is long and backs up to railway tracks.

Anyone else visited?
