Haha... my husband HATES that I can do that. He says that I remember everything that he has ever said to me, and he's not far wrong. |

| I always thought it weird but never mentioned it to anyone. Just putting it here in the event you find any value in hearing about this experience. That's pretty cool actually. I wish I could do that. Especially with recurring dreams I'm not fond of. Would love to be able to give a different ending ... |

| I don't have recurring dreams anymore, well I rarely do, maybe because I've lived for years and seen lots of things, even lived overseas. I also have dreams of people and places I haven't seen in years like old schools, old homes, teachers, classmates, etc. Sometimes I dream I'm still in school tho... |

| Did you see the study that showed that highly intelligent people are happier the less time they spend with people, or at least friends? I can look that up and post details and/or a link if anyone is interested. I'm still wearing a mask too, and may just keep on for a long time. A very long time. I ... |

| They allow people to shop without masks? Here we aren't allowed anywhere without them, and most places are still closed. At one point police were stopping cars to see where people were going. People were even charged for having a passenger in the front seat (not 2m away from them). Families were ch... |

| I'm in Victoria too. I initially hated Lockdown due to uncertainty and limitations to personal freedoms, but now I've become more tolerant and....we kind of are used to it here in Melbourne. My hubby just came home from lunch at his job in the local IGA. He said it was crowded, which can't be local... |

| I'm sorry, I just can't relate because of all the political side of it is causing me great anxiety. I don't like the thought of the world becoming reliant on the internet instead of going out, and I'm scared that it is heading towards a society with no more shops, schools, banks, or anything at all... |

| Joe, I'm not saying I agree with lockdown laws or the political side of what's going on. That's a whole other issue for me. I'm just saying that I've enjoyed it. I'm agoraphobic and scophophobic, so it's nice to avoid the world and / or hide behind a mask when I have to go out. I like keeping my di... |

| I've been on lockdown since March, 2020. I love it too. If it weren't for the fact people were sick and dying, or people were losing their businesses / livelihood, I'd love the world to stay like this. It's like a reset button that most of society has needed for a very long time. OMG!! I remember s... |

| Here in Victoria, Australia we are back in Covid lockdown. Personally I find it a wonderful relief. I absolutely LOVE lockdown. It takes all the pressure off me. It feels so freeing and relaxing. I know that no-one can come visit me (not that anyone really does). I don't have to come up with excuses... |

| No continuing dreams here, but I do get some dreams with recurring themes. The most common one is that I'm back at my workplace and I realise that I've been working for them for nothing for a year, and that I'm free to walk out any time I like without any financial penalty. I also have a few recurr... |

| Sometimes in my dream I have a feeling that it is a continuation of the previous dream. But when I wake up, I can't remember that I had the first dream, and I usually conclude that I dreamed up not only my dream, but also the fact that I had the preceding dream. So its like dreaming of memories of ... |

| I don't see how autism can dictate the way you dream. It's probably just some skill you have. I bet there are some people out there who share this same experience. Not me though. I thought that maybe it had something to do with the way the Autistic brain stores and access information. It is thought... |

| For as long as I can remember I do this thing each night as I begin to fall asleep, where I pick up from the last dream I had the night before and just continue on with the dream. This can happen any time I sleep, even if it's a nap. Whatever I was dreaming last, I continue with the next time I slee... |

| You are correct. Nothing justifies the abuse. But I have made my decision to stay for my own personal reasons. It is in no way an uninformed decision. And of course it still bothers me. I do deserve better. Or at least, different. And I am eternally thankful that I have found a community that can u... |
