When sleeping in a new place, new home, hotel, or vacation I often have this fairly stressful reoccurring dream of living in a slightly dilapidated house (different every time). I often wake in the night feeling very confused where I am or if the dream is real (if that’s where I actually live) it takes a few minutes for me to figure out what’s what.

I’ve often thought that this was probably something left from when we were living in caves or hiding from predators were you need to be sure that a new sleeping place is safe.
