Discussing the shared dream phenomenon that made waves online, r/TheMallWorld.

Have you ever dreamt of being trapped in an endless shopping mall that feels oddly familiar? Well you wouldn’t be alone. In 2021, a strange subreddit emerged where thousands of users described the same, surreal place featuring looping hallways, flickering lights, and unsettling rules. No one knows where it started, or why so many remember it. Today, we explore the shared dream phenomenon and the strange subreddit known as r/TheMallWorld.

TIL I'm not the only one who has strange dreams about malls. Time to jump into that reddit rabbit hole.

So excited for your one year indie anniversary 👏🏻 I don't think I've ever been to Mall world, but I've definitely had recurring dreams (and I also talk in my sleep too, Frado). Interesting topic 🤔❤️

Ive dreamt of the mall so many times, but I've only been into the entrance and always feel like I should turn around and leave. Ive woken myself up from a dream from trying to do long math equations and I thought so hard about the math that I just woke myself up lol

I've not dreamt about the mall, but I have had reoccurring dreams.. that became reality, like full on deja vu situations. One such dream I had was something I had like once a month from the time I was 13 to right before it turned to 18. I would dream about a little girl running up to me with curls and bright blue eyes telling me that Daddy was coming and I would look up towards the man walking towards me, and for the longest time only saw from the shoulders down a gentleman with twin baby boys in his arms. The last time I had that dream, the guy's face was the same exact face of my husband's. Who I met online in 2009 right after I graduated high school. Now years later, He and I have been married since 2011, we have an almost 10-year-old daughter who matches the little girl in my dream, and we are about to try for a kiddo and if it ends up being twins like I saw in that dream I'm going to flip out 😂

As far as peeing dreams, I have them regularly as well but once about 10 years ago I had one and actually had peed in my sleep. And for the next 5 years I was traumatized when trying to actually wake up and pee in the middle of the night lol I had to pinch myself or scratch my leg to make sure I was actually awake 😆

I had forgotten about the collective unconscious theory. But that's exactly what's used in Persona 5 for the Mementos dungeon (which also features escalators and this type of Mall world vibe). But I also remember having recurring dreams as a kid that took place in not a mall, but more of a town with a very similar vibe to mall world - especially with the unsettling feelings upon waking.

This used to happen to me a lot but it’s stopped somewhat as I became an adult

Amber Roper

Likewise for me. I haven't had as many such detailed dreams since I was in my early 20s, mostly get the deja vu instances nowadays

Sarah Guenther

Trevor's thing with the implanted memories reminds me of the giver

Recurring dreams are WILD i have had one always as a kid they were always more vivid than any others which has stopped since I got older but I do lucid dream much more often now which are also super freaky

I haven’t had a mall world dream specifically, but I’ve definitely had reoccurring dreams as a kid. Mainly one of a place that definitely didn’t look like my grandma’s house, but in my dream it absolutely was. A couple things I remember from it was that it had a lime green bathroom that was off of a super long hallway, a bedroom with an infinite bunk bed, and sort of hobbit-hole-like tunnels in the backyard filled with dusty antique toys. It was wild.

I frequently get trapped in liminal spaces in my dreams but they’re rarely malls. Usually it’s a space that tells me it’s my college but looks nothing like it.

I’ve never had a endless mall dream but I have had a dream that reoccurred. I’m in a topless jeep or some sort of truck without a roof. In the backseat with people I don’t recognize. Honestly they are faceless but not in a scary way, just a blurred vision way. Then the dream becomes more and more realistic. Like I can feel senses heightening instead of everything having that dull dream feel. Then I force myself awake. Because I can lucid dream once I’m aware it’s a dream and can actively wake myself

Oblivshawn

The wet the bed thing omg. Unlocked a distant memory. I used to have that, it’s actually how I learnt how to forcibly wake myself up from any dream.
