Do you have recurring dreams?

I once had a dream of driving around a lake at night (near where I used to live) with a friend and he was wanting to go to another friend's home to find a gun he had there. In the dream the owner of the gun wasn't home and we didn't get the gun. Had nearly the exact same dream a few nights later. At that time I lived about 1600 miles from the location in the dream and hadn't had contact with anyone there in at least 3 years.
A year and a half later, I was back in the area of the dream and went to locate some of the people that I knew there, and found out that about the same time as the dreams (I didn't keep track of the dates of the dreams), my friend had gotten a gun from the exact same place we went in the dreams, had taken it back to his parents place and blew his brains out. Then, I wondered if I had the dreams before, at the same time as, or after the event, and whether (if I had tried to call someone to get hold of his family or something) maybe I could've prevented him from carrying out his plan.
Also, I had 'falling' dreams for several years while young, where I'd wake up during the fall, but never really had context of the event. One day I remembered slipping over a horses head at a stream (was riding bareback on an Indian blanket), and never had those dreams again.

We've moved into a brand new house. But I notice unfinished areas, like you look at the ceiling and there's a large hole in the drywall and insulation hanging down. Also the house has major plumbing problems like leaky pipes and sewage backing up. Nobody seems concerned about these things but me.

I'm able to move by gliding along on my feet without moving my legs. I can glide over any terrain, down stairs, etc. I can start from a dead stop by willpower. I'm the only one doing this and I can't understand why everyone isn't doing it.

Thirty years ago I had a cheesy moustache. Sometimes I still have it but can't remember trimming it for a long time.

I retired two years ago. I frequently dream I've gone back to "work" at the same place but I'm not really an employee, just there doing work for free.
 
I thought I would share this dream here. It's not often I have such intensely memorable dreams but this one has stuck with me.

I was in the revolutionary war era and I was in the military up against 1940's Nazi's and Japanese. I was in-love with a prostitute who worked in a brothel in a town that had already been taken over by the Nazi's... I think it was in North Carolina. The Inglorious Bastards were with me and we had gone into an underground bunker to stock up on weapons. I kept looking for an AK-47 but the guy in charge kept saying they already ran out. All the weapons that were left were crazy single shot types of weapons. One looked like it was straight out of doctor Suese with huge swirly metal pieces. I got so mad and felt that I would die instantly having to carry a single shot. I then found a completely see through plastic shotgun that held 4 12 gauge on the top and 4 410 on bottom in a over/under system. I told the shop keeper that I'd have to take that one and he stopped me saying "No. You have to have an Ipod to use that one. It gives it power". I told him I don't have an Ipod and he takes his gun back. So I feel in my pocket and my 7 shot .22 pistol was there and I figured it was better than nothing.

I set out into war and my gun keeps jamming while fighting the Nazi's. I leave Brad Pitt and head to North Carolina to get to the hooker I was in love with. People thought I was a defector and every city I came across I had all 3 sides fighting me. I finally made it to the hooker and I suddenly felt hundreds of .22 rounds entering my back and only going in about half an inch. Giant Wooden robots began attacking North Carolina and I somehow still had 7 shots in my little pistol. I started shooting at the robots with the prostitute being pulled behind me. All the old wooden buildings are being destroyed and that's when the sensation of all the bullets I took earlier flying back out of my back. I then woke up.
