or, have you ever dreamed of a PERSON that exists only in dreams, hangs out with your crowd, but does not really exist—and has been in several dreams?

Periodically I dream of a beautiful place with lakes, hills, woods, and a bicycle trail that is pretty much in the neighborhood where I grew up and my parents currently reside. But no such place really exists in that neighborhood, or anywhere else I have ever been.

I also dream periodically about rooms and buildings—sometimes very elaborate beyond description, that are supposed to coincide with real places that exist or once existed, but no place like that ever existed, though I visit them many times in dreams,

These are not recurring dreams per se’ —just places I dream about, that my subconscious seems to think exist.

When I was ten years old, I asked my parents if they have ever dreamed of a place they have dreamed about before, but was not a real place. My father actually had. So I wonder how common this is.
