Does anybody here ever have travel dreams? I don’t mean travel dreams in the sense of “aspirations and hopes” type dreams. I figure anyone who follows a travel blog probably has those. I know I sure do. No, I am talking about actual travel dreams, the kind you have when you sleep. I get them a lot, especially lately. The odd part is most generally they are in places I haven’t been to (at least yet). And they are so vivid, I know it’s perhaps due to the fact that I am a voracious reader of travel books and an avid follower of travel programs on You-tube. But I also meet “people’ in these dreams and we carry on fully developed conversations. Is this just me??
For example, last night I dreamed I was in Nepal (somewhere I haven’t been to yet) and was on a bus tour and we stopped in this small town for a break. I went into a cafe there and met a girl working behind the counter. She told me about her village and that she was going to school and she gave me a rice dish and I could intensely taste the spices. She and I talked for a few moments and then my morning alarm rang. I actually needed to lay in bed for a minute while my brain had to convince me that: “No, I hadn’t actually visited Nepal and yes, the conversation no matter how real seeming, was just in my mind.” It definitely made me melancholy for a moment. So I would love to know have any of you experienced anything like this? If so, tell me about it in the comments. I don’t know if it is just me.
That’s an amazing dream, amazing detail…I haven’t had any like that, but kinda wish I would!
It’s kind of cool, but a nit of a letdown when you wake up
You are lucky to have these travel dreams. I wish I did (mine are just the daydreaming variety)
They are just a bit of a let down when i wake up because I have to remind myself I haven’t actually been to the place i was dreaming of. But they’re definitely nice while it’s happening
Yeah, I too have such dreams but the occurrence is rare.. Though, they are quite realistic and with such details that even I take couple of moments to realize that it was just a dream . 😊

Nice to know i’m not alone. Sometimes when I wake up I’m like “What??” I almost feel sad I wasn’t actually there.
I share the same feeling at times… 😊
No, silly guy. It is not just you. Actually, fairly common. I certainly have had my share of them.
I used to have dreams of Kathmandu in Nepal. Finally I gave in, and told my brother ‘we have to go’.
Go we did, and it was exactly as I had seen in my dreams.
1. Enjoy the dreams.
2. Pay attention, maybe the place is calling to you.
3. Consider a visit.
Nepal is most definitely on my bucket list
