There are times when I dream of an apartment in some old city with light stone walls, huge windows...the details are more numerous than if it were real, right down to dust motes in the air! As soon as I enter this dream i know I'm dreaming but I feel like I've finally come 'home', as if I had been away. I look in the mirror (sometimes, it's the apt., that is the same, not the dream itself), see myself, at times I'll pick up a book and read a couple of lines, sometimes there are letters waiting for me on a granite table next to a huge window that faces a street that looks like it's somewhere in Italy. Immediately upon entering this apartment I think to myself, "Oh, finally I'm back! It has been too long!"
If anyone does show up in my dream they arrive, knock at the door, I answer it or call out to them to enter. I see them and instantly I am so happy to see them again and I know then that I only see these people when I dream and I miss them when I wake up.
Can this dream be more than a dream? I have lucid dreams on other occasions but always when I dream this dream. Nothing exciting happens, we catch up like friends do, eat, maybe have some wine....what's up with this?

If this was my dream, I'd begin to wonder if it was a flashback to another life---a past life experience. Although I'm not a big proponent of reincarnation, I get the impression from this that it could be possible.

Enjoy!

I think it is very common to dream of the same house or apartment, which does not exist in real life, over and over. I have always had dreams of apartment buildings or houses where I live, and I go the same places over and over in my dreams and I remember them from previous dreams, but in real life, they don't exist.

In a dream, a house is supposed to symbolise yourself.The things in the house are supposed to be aspects of you.
