I keep having this same dream that takes place in a nonexistent (or atleast a place that I have never been) location. It is a tropical beach location with a very sophisticated outdoor market across the street. However you can't see the market when you are on the beach. Once on the beach it is absolutely gorgeous. I use to scuba dive and the beach is the perfect location for diving. In some dreams when I'm walking the beach there are huge pond-like area in the middle of the bach that I will walk to in order to dive. Once in them they are vast like the ocean. Sometimes I just go out into the ocean to dive. Sometimes there is a pier that I dive off of. The underwater view is so breathtakingly beautiful and is basically the most perfect coral reef that could be created. However, I do not have to ride a boat to the reef but instead once I get in the water it is instantanious. The constants are the set up of the beach and market as well as the fact that it is beautiful and calming. Absolutely nothing negative at all about this dream. I am also never trying to accomplish a task but just randomly wondering on a nice walk and end up at the place either accidentally or purposely.

Do you have these dreams when you are feeling stress in waking life?

It sounds like your unconscious may have created this place as a way for you to relax and unwind so you can deal with your everyday problems better.
