i usually do remember my dreams, but these days, not much for dreaming. If i sleep a long time i do dream. Im too worried to even sleep too long and have anxiety. I remember when my mom used to tell me my dad would wake up horrified or have nightmares that something was chasing him.  I thought to myself why doesn't he fight it? conquer it? Why let something chase him and scare him?  So when it happened to me long ago i was really upset. Lol! So i decided ok let's go. And the next time i dreamt, i manifested a sword and many various weapons and i was warrior princess xena LOL Well not exactly xena but i was victorious, and i never had nightmares again. I do dream of the darkness, when something in my life is going wrong, so it's nothing i can do about it, but a pre warning. So i find the root of its existence, and vanquish it somehow. (fix it or find a way) Where's theres a will there's a way.. when it comes to dreams.

edit - maybe 1st house sun/dominant 1st house did this. aries energy. the actress xena warrior princess (lucy lawless is a triple aries lol)

I sometimes feel like this Saturn in Pisces will be the end of me. 2nd Saturn return and now Saturn conjunct my Chiron in my 2nd House. Lots of tears, loss etc.

However, my dreams have been odd. Most are about a hunky celebs. Brad Pitt, several about Lenny Kravitz, Bradley Cooper. They were not sexual, but def flirty and I have no idea why they are in my dreams. lol

I look to the placement of the Moon for reoccurring dream themes. My Moon is in Cancer 12th house and a reoccurring dream for me (at least 20 memorable times) is something strange happening in my backyard (which did recently happen!). Another reoccurring dream of mine is visiting my dead grandmothers house and, low and behold, she's still alive! I also sometimes dream about feeling very weak, fatigued, confused.

IMO, if you had Moon in Gemini, you might have many dreams about miscommunication or speech problems. Moon in Capricorn may be dreams of failure or old age. Leo; unpopularity. Etc.

My dreams have been super vivid and informative. I've been working with a flower essence called Soul Retrieval and the type of dreams I 've been having are about people from my past healing unfinished business. And every night I get valuable info on my real life problems.
Some of it is so real I wake up and have to think like, wait- I don't have a neighbor named Kris with a Chihuahua that I need to let out this afternoon because she's gotta work late. I keep a dream journal but I should be more consistent.
Some of them are psychic. Back in January I dreamt my ex from 25 years ago (the one that I should have married) we were searching for someone lost and were back together again- searching, searching. Intense. The next day I called a mutual friend of ours and told her about it. She said I was probably dreaming about him because his mom passed away three days before. I was able to go to the funeral and pay my respects because of that dream.
Recurring dreams: roads that end because they're flooded, scary bridges over water, lagoons, and fireplace dreams. Fireplaces are strong themes. I travel to this particular Gothic city that is a familiar setting. I can draw maps of it.
I have natal moon in late Pisces so Neptune transit is certainly involved here.

I guess this belongs here, Saturn is transiting my 3rd house.

In a dream, I was given the name of an Archangel, both spoken and written. I knew immediately it was the name of an Archangel despite never hearing of it before - Thuriel.

I've checked my personal library, which turned up nothing so I booted up the old search engine and discovered Thuriel is a guardian of animals and is helpful in interspecies connections which is lovely and personal to me but the dream is still bugging me and I'm sure it's trying to tell me something else.
