Not all dreams have a special meaning. But some dreams have a significance in a person’s life. He/she keeps seeing the same dream many times. In other words, these dreams keep recurring to the person. In the story The Recurring Dream, the dream that she sees often signifies that she will soon see someone totally unknown to her.
Quite successful at work, the only thing that haunts Kimberly Clark is a recurring dream. She sees a cottage in a lane that she has never been to before. She goes over there and finds an old man sleeping. As she approaches him to talk to him, the old man gets up. Just as she is about to ask him something, she wakes up from her sleep. This surprises her as she knows neither the old man nor the cottage.
Knowing her problem, her friend Janet decides to take Kim to the former’s parents’ farmhouse for some relaxation. Suddenly, during the course of the journey, she sees the same house and lane as in her dream with just one difference. There is a board in front marked FOR SALE. Curious, she walks up and finds the old man of her dreams. When asked about the board, he says the house is haunted. Taken aback, she asks what the ghost looks like. The old man retreats inside and slams the door saying that the ghost looks like Kim herself.
