Utterly tangential to the topic of the thread, I also have persistent recurring dreams set in a movement facility, specifically a residence course facility: the people in the dream don't know each other but have all come together to stay in the facility for a few days for some common purpose, and the plot of the dream unfolds in that context. But neither the setting nor the plot ever has anything explicitly to do with TM. I assume the setting refers to a residence course facility because residence courses are the only life experiences I've had that fit this pattern. The facilities are all different; they're more like hotels or dormitories or big, grand old houses than third-world schools. The plots are all different as well, but one frequent element involves the many rooms in the facility, e.g., getting lost and not being able to find my room, or going back and forth from a room in one part of the facility to another in a part of the facility far distant from it. I remember in one dream one of the CPs was Richard Nixon, and he was, in his self-conscious, awkward, socially inept manner, trying to flirt with me, which in the dream I thought was hilarious. Never figured that one out (but after I woke up I was fascinated that the dream had captured his personality so perfectly). Most of my dreams are so obscure I don't try to analyze them anyway.

It's a basic assumption I make, so to put it in the form of a "What if..." question is meaningless. (Of course, a difficulty arises if the premise includes itself: What if the assumption that everything I know is wrong, is also wrong? Or, what if the concepts "I know" and "is wrong" are themselves meaningless? It's turtles all the way down.)
