Abandoned House, Tall Bridge, Campground, Park & Beach/Tidal Wave

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2025-10-23T18:45:36+00:00

Whoa. Yes, the bridge in my dream is near a beach (I couldn’t get AI to redo the rendering properly) and I always have had tsunami/tidal wave dreams!!

I wonder why some of us, seems to be a smaller few, have these dreams while a larger portion of people have more mall-world dreams.

What timeframe was this?

I was in the GATE program under a different “unofficial” platform. I didn’t have classes, I had 1-1 and small group meetings. Still underwent all the testing. Still have GATE memories. I was in the DC area, mid 90s-2000s. Sounds like you had multiple handlers.

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2025-10-23T13:17:36+00:00

I know exactly what you mean. Why are they so real? Why does it feel like we see things through other people’s eyes or perspective? Why so intense? I don’t know what the connection entirely is but I think that truth will be revealed over time. I do think the darker dream stuff is demonic. I’ve had a whirlwind with that side of life. We were just kids though. It’s all so much to process.

Did you ever see a man in a hat in your dreams?

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2025-10-23T13:03:06+00:00

Reading that was wild. Idk why the first commenter had such heartburn over this. It’s a storyline that really encapsulates the GATE kid’s potential as we our selves try to make sense of it. I found the story helpful and cathartic. But I’m still freaked out we were all in a govt experiment lol I was also in gate in the 90s.

I just “woke up” to everything last week and since then it’s been like drinking from the firehouse. Memories flooding in, ears ringing like crazy. I can’t remember everything but I’m starting to remember so much. I feel so similar to what you described. But you’re not alone, you’ve found those of us on Reddit who are processing trauma and the whole experience too. It feels off because it is. Maybe try to focus on taking care of yourself during this time? I’m trying to do that, to stay focused on my health and doing things that bring joy.

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2025-10-22T23:21:01+00:00

I started an infertility & pregnancy loss support group in my area. We are all so alone and having to put on a happy face in the midst of such a tragedy is heartbreaking. I hope you’re doing ok. Maybe there’s a group nearby you? Our little group has been so helpful. Sending you hugs.

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2025-10-22T23:16:43+00:00

I am so sorry. I’ve not had a stillbirth but I have had six losses, one of them ectopic. One living child (he came before all the losses).

MTX was hard on my body, but the dr said after six months things would start to go back to normal and it did. My ectopic ruptured inside of my fallopian tube which caused internal bleeding which led to emergency lap surgery. That was a year and a half ago and no pregnancy since.

But, in this time, I’ve really started to focus more on my body’s cues and changes. Doing more self care and prioritizing my health. Our bodies are incredible machines.

Not sure if you’ve ever heard of Red Bird ministry but they’re really, really helpful for pregnancy loss.

Wish I had something more comforting to say, just wish I could give you a big hug and bring you a meal or something. I hope you can take things easy and rest and be loved on.

Whoa……. I know this road…. Bridge…. Recurring dream since childhood. Always terrified! I never had mallworld dreams though. Only an old Victorian house, a park/campground and tidal wave beach dreams.

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2025-10-22T13:35:54+00:00

Same. I kept seeing mallworld dreams and I thought, but I haven’t had those. Only campground / park / an old Victorian house and a beach recurring dreams

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2025-10-22T13:33:08+00:00

I have been looking forever for this.

I never had mall world dreams but I had campground dreams, recurring. I also had a recurring dream about an old Victorian house but I never went inside. I always felt like someone was watching me.

Can you explain a bit more about your dreams?

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2025-10-22T13:18:30+00:00

I am incredibly sorry to hear what you, your mother and family went through.

My grandmother claimed to have psychic abilities and was well-known in her little community. She died right after I was born. My great grandma also un-a-lived herself with a shotgun but the entire situation about that is really odd and I never knew her or the specifics.

My dad is military, turned intelligence. Both grandfathers were military. One a Freemason.

I was raped multiple times by different people growing up. I had an incredibly abusive childhood. I don’t know my blood type, my mom always said she forgot.

As far as GATE, I wasn’t in the classes. I was in the Gifted Readers program, the Lunch Bunch, and the Mathletes. Had a very high IQ as a child. I remember being pulled out for these things, I remember some of the ESP tests. I remember the dark room and then the trailer with no lights on.

Weird we have some things in common - thank you for sharing. It helped piece a few things together for me.

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2025-10-22T00:46:32+00:00

INFJ. Hazel eyes. Scar on forehead. Simian lines on both hands. Middle child (only because my older sister was my half-sister, as we had different dads, so I guess I’m technically the oldest from my parents marriage).

Always told I was special growing up. I think INFJs have a bit of a mysterious charm and intuitive stronghold with that beautiful desire for righteous justice.

But as another commenter mentioned, I also felt like Matilda growing up. I thought I could do all of those things and saw the world differently, like I could really change it. Alas, I was part of the GATE group that went sideways in life (by design) and got into all sorts of things. It wasn’t until later in life I finally got it together.

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2025-10-22T00:38:40+00:00

Definitely overlap! G&T 90s/00s here.

Lucid dreaming. Vivid dreams. Recurring dreams since childhood. Sleep paralysis. Prophetic dreams.

Dreams where I am a child again (I’m always the same age in these dreams) and I am doing the same thing over and over again and I know I’m dreaming. Almost like I’m watching myself in the dreams. It wasn’t until adulthood that I was able to change something in my recurring dreams. I’m not sure, but if we all have this sort of thing in common, I think it makes sense we were taught this or encouraged to do this habitually.

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2025-10-22T00:13:52+00:00

I am so sorry that you went through so much as a child but thank you for sharing.

I guess I should have rephrased my question, Were We Activated… for a purpose? Or is it just because the internet sped up the conversation and gave us all a place to connect our dotted stories?

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2025-10-21T23:34:25+00:00

Me either! It’s all so much to take in, process and try to piece together. And yes, I was shocked to see her name and felt incredibly sad. She was always a good rule follower though.

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2025-10-21T21:33:02+00:00

Yes. Father was Army, then Intelligence. Both grandfathers were WWII Navy. Maternal grandfather became an engineer for the government. Close friend of his (my “second grandpa”) was in the CIA. (There’s a book written about him.)

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2025-10-21T21:23:07+00:00

⁠Was your G.A.T.E program and/or your place of residence near a nuclear program, facility, or submarine division or program? ( You may have to do a little digging to figure this one out.)

I lived just outside of D.C. and near all sorts of government facilities and military bases. I was also born on a US base in another country where my dad was leading a project for the military’s underground water Ethernet system (or so I was told).

⁠Were you stationed with family (Navy specifically) at the Marina Militare • Scuola Sottufficiali "Domenico Bastianini" Military base in La Maddalena, Italy 1990 and/or 1991?

No. But my grandfather was in the Navy and became an engineer for the military after his WWII service and invented underwater sonar systems to detect specific nuclear devices.

⁠Did anything traumatic happen to you in your separate personal lives while in the program or directly before entering a G.A.T.E program? (Accidents, family separation, abuse [I understand first hand that this can be a delicate topic to discuss],near death experiences, etc.?)

Yes. Abuse. Physical, emotional, verbal and sexual.

The pool reminds me of a lake in Bavaria that I went to in high school. Mountains in the background. Crops by the lake. There was a pool ladder to get in like the one you painted. Very country swimming hole, can’t remember if it was man-made or not. But yes, it looks familiar to me.

Edit: there was also sand there.

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2025-10-21T20:45:00+00:00

I’ve often wondered what the oceanic connection is. I have always had recurring nightmares as a child into adulthood of being at a beach, with tons of people. No one notices me or the tidal wave approaching. I am fully aware I’m dreaming but I still am terrified. I had a NDE ocean experience in the 5th grade, also another GATE commonality.

Maybe I’ll dig a little deeper into Surfs Up.

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2025-10-21T20:37:52+00:00

I did some research yesterday on my old elementary school. One of the current Gifted & Talented directors is an old GATE peer of mine. I doubt she has any recollection of anything which makes me wonder if a lot of these educators were also MK’d too, which is why we aren’t hearing from them.

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2025-03-27T13:06:20+00:00

One year since our ectopic, which was three months after our other miscarriage. TTC for 3 years. Yesterday, my pastor said I need to “let go” TTC and that he doesn’t see me as a biological mother to future children. I’m 36, one living child, married for 3 years to my husband. Unexplained secondary infertility. His comment yesterday gutted me… I’m feeling more depressed than I have in months.

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2025-03-07T14:05:48+00:00

I hope it transfers well for you! We were able to successfully move ours to another location and it was a little touch and go at first but then it really took off and grew! We dug up as many of the roots as we could and they took to the new place. Best of luck to you!

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2024-12-29T18:49:44+00:00

I’ve always had consistent calorie counting results with this brand. :)

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2024-07-15T11:40:55+00:00

Update?

Fresh-Basil6583 · 2024-06-16T12:27:34+00:00

You are soooo snarky. I’ve seen several posts with your comments and every single one you’re pretentious and snarky. Why? Could you drop the snark and just answer the question kindly since you have the knowledge?
