    Oh yes I too dream of being kilted. Sometimes it is living as myself years ago, and other times in the present.

    It is funny though no one comments on the kilt in the dreams either.

    Yep. Had a female work colleague mention she had a dream where I was wearing my kilt. (She's only seen me in it twice!) I also had a dream last week about being kilted. Felt freer and easy rather than being a very conscious 'I'm in a kilt' dream. Having said that I was on school holidays and had been wearing my kilt a couple of times anyway!
    Then there's the dream where a very repectable kiltmaking company send me free 8 yd 'er........

    In all my 56 years of kilt wearing, the last 6½ of those being full-time kilted, I do not recall ever having dreamed of myself wearing the kilt - or anything else in particular! I must try to look down next time I have a dream! ;)

    If I looked down like that Hamish it wouldn't be a dream anymore, it would be a nightmare :rolleyes::mrgreen:

    There can be a fairly simple explanation: it is a quite normal thing to create specific dreams in order to explore ideas-experiences or whatever.

    More common for people working in the mystic field-think here shamanism: then someone might decide to explore a different reality in the form of say their 'spiritual beast'.

    One of the routes in is based upon meditation-deep meditation upon a particular event to be dreamt about.

    From what you say, your oncentration upon wearing the kilt has tapped you into that planned dream state.

    In essence concentration at the conscious level has in turn created an event in the dream state. This can also happen as a consequence of stress-worry - excitement and the like.

    Or, maybe it is a Freudian thing.

    Perhaps the addiction to kilts and kilt dreams are an effort to recover, at least symbolically, a kilt-like body part that was amputated soon after my birth -without my permission - by an Army surgeon at Craig Army Air Corps Hospital in 1944....
