I am wondering what you's opinions are about dreams that have recurring themes. Some say it's your mind trying to tell you something. Others say it's just random 'stuff' your mind keeps creating. And than there are those that thing it's just your mind recreating what you experience in real life in some way.

In the last 4 years I continue to have dreams that feature the following in them ( and I have no clue what it means ):

* Auto junkyards ( 95% of dreams I remember have this somewhere in it )

* Traveling down roads

* Train tracks

* Large structures / buildings that are hard to navigate

Sounds like your subconscious has an idea for a video-game.

Psychologists would say no, recurring dreams content itself does not have any intrinsic meaning. However the fact that you constantly remember your dreams could be indicative of a bad sleep pattern, you are constantly waking close to the point in your sleep where you can dream. This isn't normal and is why you don't remember most of your dreams.

Personally I have a recurring dream about trying to find my way through an airport for a flight I'm late for or have already missed (but I don't know I've missed it). Usually there are obstacles in my way such as gangs of annoying kids, awkward airport staff, etc. I've never put much meaning in it.

Often though subconscious strange dreams do make for great game material :)

There has been no absolute answer to this scientifically, and multiple theories have popped up over the years. Beginning with Freud, who had dream-interpretation as part of his psychological program, it has shifted more towards the statement that dreams do not have any strong meaning. They can be source of inspiration, sure, as a very strong dream I once had motivated me (if not coerced) to learn game programming and implement a very special game idea. But I support the theory that dreams are merely your brain trying to interpret the cerebral noise that occurs while sleeping. Appearently, things you experienced can and will appear in dreams, but there most likely is no meaning.

No dreams have any actual meaning per se, but they can be used to get a glimpse into your inner psychological state of mind.

I wouldn’t be able to say anything about that based only on what you posted.

When I first left America I had the recurring dream of awakening back in America and thinking, “Oh no! How do I get back to Thailand?”.

It eventually died off but then started again after moving to France. Then died off and started again after moving to Japan.

The last time I had it, I stopped myself in the middle of my dream, looked around carefully at every detail, and while every detail was accurate (and extremely vivid), I knew I couldn’t be in America, and I know that I was having that same recurring nightmare.

My dream become lucid and I started flying around. Never had the dream since then.

There is no real meaning to it, and I already knew that I didn’t want to go back to America, so no real psychological revelations there either.

The reason for me to have that recurring nightmare is obvious, but if you can’t figure out why you have yours then I would just ignore it. It’s clearly not as if you secretly want to live in a junkyard, or that you are afraid of them, so beyond that I doubt there is anything worth investigating.

Although it is a coincidence that you post this 21 hours after I posted this song on Facebook:

... Your dreams mean Egypt will have seven years of grain, then seven years of famine, or something like that.

Recurring elements in dreams usually have a meaning to the dreamer's mind, but it's not an objective meaning, so it's hard for others to tell you what they mean. You could probably just ask yourself, "What does a car junkyard mean to me?", like writing a middle-school essay. That's probably what it means in your dreams.

Hell yeah they do.

If you ever dream of black snakes, you have a enermy. It's true people, I even dream code and find the answer to problems, I'm glad I don't always dream of coding because I wake up very tiered. My recurring Dream is zombies and damn man thats running all night and I can remember it all clear as day, considering I don't know its not real untill I wake.

Junk yard, could mean your feeling cluttered. only you can say if its your working life , personal or other clutter.

Dreams have been a part of peoples from the dawn of time(seers, gypsy).3500 years ++ only gone for 250 years

Most people don't even dream now.
