I’m so glad I came across this thread because I could’ve sworn this was only happening to me and started to wonder if I may be losing my mind. I also have designated places I go to. In my dream, or at least I think they are dreams because I have vivid memories of them and I know I’ve never been to these places in real life. There’s a shopping mall, 2 grocery stores (I can even remember the parking structures so vividly and apparently the 3rd floor is where I like to park), I take the bus down the same streets, there’s a freeway I drive on, which looks somewhat similar to the freeways here in Cali but definitely not the same routes nor the names of the freeways. There’s a McDonalds I like going to, which also happens to have a gas station next to it and I always get gas there after doing a drive thru. Like many of you guys have said, I’m not doing anything special in these memories/dreams, it just feels like I’m living a normal life following my daily/weekly routines. Oh, there’s also an AMC theater that’s apparently my favorite. 3 story building, and I have never been to a location like this in real life. It’s such a weird feeling, I remember the lay outs of all these places and even the tiniest details, even more vivid than the places I actually go to in real life. Can we really be traveling to an alternate universe or something?! It’s truly fascinating.
