It Moves When I Ask.

A Dream That Keeps Coming Back

For over a year now…
I’ve been having a dream that keeps coming back…

They are always different…
but always the same…

I had another one last night…
seems about every two months I dream it…

Last night I was driving along…
no idea where I was…
or where I was going…

I was just driving…

I pulled up to this small building…
it was a public restroom…

I went inside…

There were no toilets…
no nothing…

Except for two rolls of toilet paper
on the floor…

So this is where the dream
is about to repeat…

I felt a presence with me…

So I say aloud—
“If you’re here with me…
then move the toilet paper.”

There was a pause…
a few seconds…

As I watched…

The roll of toilet paper
slid slowly across the floor…

for a few feet…

Then it stopped…

It didn’t roll…
it was sitting upright on its end…

it just slid…

As if something invisible
made it happen…

The feeling I get when this happens…
is hard to explain…

But I experience it
every time…

So then I say—
“Ok… now move the other one.”

And as I watch…

The other roll of toilet paper
slid across the floor…

Same deal…

Then I woke up…

So in these dreams…

I always end up somewhere alone…

But I never feel alone…

There’s always a presence…

There’s always different objects…

And I always say—

“If you’re here with me…
make it move.”

  1. but the underlying feeling remains the same. Recurring dreams are often the mind’s way of asking for attention to an unresolved thought or emotion. Listening to that inner whisper can be the first step toward finding clarity and peace. 🌿🕊️🙏

  3. This is a very striking and quietly unsettling dream narrative—told with a simplicity that actually makes it more powerful.

    What stands out first is the atmosphere: the repetition of driving without direction, arriving somewhere empty, and yet not feeling alone. That combination creates a strong sense of liminality—being “between places,” both physically and emotionally.
