Abstract: Many individuals in Türkiye who completed their compulsory military service years ago report experiencing intense, vivid, and anxiety-provoking dreams in which they are suddenly summoned back to the military. From a cultural perspective, this phenomenon does not appear unique to Türkiye. Similar narratives of such dreams are frequently encountered in various English-speaking online forums . Future qualitative and quantitative research examining the frequency, narrative structures, accompanying emotions during dreaming and upon awakening, and connections with individuals’ psychosocial histories could greatly enhance our understanding of the psychological origins of these dreams.
