Important Questions and answers from the Summary of Recurring Dream

What do you think is the reason some people have recurring dreams?

Answer. Human life is a bundle of desires. Whatever we desire to have cannot be achieved in real life because of economic and social limitations. Those unfulfilled desires are deeply rooted in the unconscious layer of the human brain. These desires are just like water in a dam seeking an outlet. The dream is one of the media through which the repressed desires of people surface out. The things which cannot be achieved in real life are realized by the dreamer in the form of a dream. When the desires become too strong to be suppressed, they cause people to have a recurring dream.

Thus, unfulfilled and repressed desires are the reason that causes people to have recurring dreams.

Some few more reasons to have a recurring dream are pointed below:

• Some dreams are related to our repressed desires.
• Some dreams are related to the physical condition of the dreamer.
• Some dreams forecast the events that might happen in the near future.
• Some dreams are related to the injuries that happened in the mind.

Question. Why do you think Kim has this dream?

Answer. Kim has this dream because of her repressed desires to get love from her grandfather and to live in a beautiful house in peaceful countryside. Kimberly Clarke is a young lady of 25 living and working in the crowded and congested city of London. She might have been tired of living in such a city and might have a strong desire to live in a beautiful house in a peaceful environment. She cannot achieve what she desires because of her job and busy schedule.

This desire of Kim has been deeply rooted in her unconscious mind. Moreover, the story doesn’t describe anything about her grandfather. So, she seems to have been deprived of the love and care of her grandfather and longs (desires) for the same.

Hence, both of her desire to live in a beautiful house and to get the love and care of her grandfather condensed into a single dream of a beautiful house with an old man in it. Thus the repressed and unfulfilled desire of Kim causes her to have this dream.

Question. Describe the old man that Kim sees in her dream.

Answer. Kimberly Clark has an unusual dream. She always has the same dream that is recurring.

When she has the dream, she sees herself in a country road. Following the road up in the hill, there’s a house. She goes there following the lane up to the cottage and knocks the door. And an old man opens the door who she sees in her dream

The old man is very old and with white hair and beard. He seems to be tired and is sleeping in the bed.
