When I was a child, I would get most terrified at night, because the house
would be silent. Even though I knew that most nights, no one would v*, I
had constant anxiety that tonight would be The Night, and I would hear
rushed footsteps or awful noises echo in the silence of the house.

It's possible that concentrating on v* before bed every night has caused
this, but when I dream (which is relatively rarely), v* is a recurring theme
in almost every dream I have.Has anyone else noticed this? The other
theme is shopping malls.No clue on that one.A very vivid dream I
have is one in which the shopping mall has been converted to an
emergency hospital, and there are not enough doctors, and the
conditions are unsanitary and people are getting sick left and right in the
corridors of the mall.

Do other people dream of v* frequently as well?
