“The Recurring Dream” is a supernatural story from England about a normal-looking woman who has a strange, recurring dream. Kim is a beautiful and sociable girl of 25. She has a good job in a company. But she has a problem. A strange, mysterious and recurring dream troubles her. She dreams about a country road, a lane, and an old man in a house. The place and the person of her dream are completely strange to her. She has never been to that place and never met the man. Kim talks about the dream to her roommate, Janet. Janet suggests going out of the city to her parents’ farm for a few days. As they turn on a country road, Kim sees the same place of her dream. She decides to go and have a look. Janet tries to stop her saying that Kim could have been mistaken. But Kim claims this to be the same place and goes. When she reaches the house, she finds it is for sale. She knocks on the door. To her surprise, the same old man opens the door. Seeing her, he shuts the door. Kim wants to talk to him about the house. But he says she will not buy it because it is haunted. A ghost comes there almost every night. When she asks about the ghost, he says she is herself the ghost.
