What do you never dream about?

[Dawn]

I'm curious. What do you never dream about? Here are things I think about or experience a lot in real life, but never in dreams:

Aging (I'm 78.)
My chronic disease, which limits my real-life activities severely. But in dreams I'm perfectly healthy.
Cats
Computers
COVID
Politics & other news
Death (Last night was the first time.)

Money

Personally, the things that are common, everyday things/routines are the least-likely things to be dreamed.

Up until recently, I had never dreampt about fire. Then I had a dream with fire in it. Maybe because I've never been afraid of fire. The fire was in a few different spots in the room. I haven't had any more dreams about it.

With fantasy things like talking animals, moving trees, aliens, abstract symbols, angels, cryptic things, fantasy worlds, etc. I rarely dream about those. The last time I dreamed something like that was when I dreamed I was doing my daily activities during the day but the sky was completely black. 98% of my dreams take place in places and situations that could happen in real life.

Updating after (almost) two years. My above response still applies.

What we never, or almost never dream-about might be yet another interesting facet of dream research to investigate.

I also dream that I am not sick in my dreams (I have kidney failure). I never dream about my current age (29), cellphones, wild animals, airplanes, other countries, the second floor of my house in the mornings (only in the afternoons and nights for some reason), my room in the mornings, the roof of my house in the mornings, I only dream about the ground floor of my house in the mornings and many other things.

in his "Memories, Dreams, Reflections," Jung explains: "I realized that the house represented an image of my psyche, and that as I descended from floor to floor, I was approaching the deepest and oldest layers of myself." Jung interprets the house as a metaphor for the human mind. The upper floor corresponds to the level of rational consciousness, the most immediately accessible and visible. The intermediate floors recall collective memories, models handed down by civilizations. In the basement or cellar, Jung recognizes the unconscious of archetypes and origins, a primordial space shared by all humanity.

Would that make sense to a young men?

In fact, ever since I lived in my parents’ house, I never dreamed about the upper floor, only about my room. I don’t remember ever dreaming about my siblings’ or my parents’ rooms, only about the lower floor, where the yard, garage, and kitchen were, although I rarely dreamed about the living room either. I realized that maybe it was because we hardly ever spent time together; since I was a child, everyone did their own thing, so I have very few family memories. I can honestly say that after almost 30 years, I don’t really know my own family.
I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it, but I thought that might be the reason. Now that I live alone in my own house, I do dream about the upper floor, but only in the afternoons or at night, never in the mornings. I don’t know what that might mean.

That gave me a sad feeling Erick..well not everyone has a great family and even the best families are having their problems.
The diff. floors could be an image for the different levels of development...? May be ?good that you have your own house now..
If this would have been my dream, I would go the upper floor and have a look..and talk to it..reminds me of a song from Mahalia Jackson: in the upper room...
