Dreams tend to manifest themselves from childhood memories and stick with us throughout our entire life.

Two content analyses find that recurrent dreams are much more likely than ordinary dreams to contain only the dreamer (D'Andrade, 1985 LaRue, 1970). The most frequent content theme of recurrent dreams is being attacked or chased, accounting for 43 percent of recurrent dreams in one study. A content analysis of recurrent dreams reported by students revealed that only one type of dream occurred with any frequency, an anxiety dream in which the dreamer was being threatened or pursued. The threatening agents were wild animals, monsters, burglars, or natural forces such as storms, fires, or floods. The dreamer was watching, hiding, or running away. (Robbins and Houshi, 1983, p. 263).

My dreams, silly as they sound, involve Velociraptors. Ever since I saw Jurassic Park as a kid I have been afraid of them. Even though now I know that bones prove they never reached that tall (Realistically they reached roughly 2.07 meters, about half the size of a human, not the 5.0 meter tall ones we have to come to know in the cinema).
