    I do, once in a blue moon, but never to the extent that I actually think there really is a real Hogwarts or a real Harry Potter. The scenarios are always framed like I’m reading (and vividly imagining) a slightly different version of the books. My dreams typically revolve around the Golden Trio.

    Sometimes I’m in the stories, but other times I’m just a reader.

    It was a long time ago the last time that happened. It's just weird little scenarios, but there's something about looking up and seeing loads of books on a shelf in a library that I can never visualize so well on my own.

    Sadly, I don't. I only get the one where someone slips something into my shampoo that makes my beard fall out.

    Occasionally, but it turns out that I'm just as much a muggle in dreams as I am in the real world. Spells never work from what I remember.

    I'm pretty sure that I had a dream where I was a student at Hogwarts with all of the people I went to school with. It just felt natural at the time, and I don't think that anything out of the ordinary happened.

    When I was a child, I dreamt of an extended pre-Hogwarts sequence where Harry gets bullied by Dudley and his gang before/after school and he goes to hide in a shed, while they're banging on the door.

    Not sure what happened next in-dream, but at the time, I was convinced it was part of the films. Even talked about it with friends, who promptly told me that never happened.

    Not quite HP related, but mildly embarrassing, considering I was in my mid teens then, I imagine. But dreamt I went to Brown, and Emma Watson and I were dating smh.

    That is embarrassing. I don’t even need to be sleeping to dream about dating Emma Watson.

    A couple of months ago I had a dream about Voldemort researching migratory flying serpents and carving runes into their scales so that he could track them.

    More recently, I dreamt of Tom's time at the orphanage. I remember there were underground trains and a lot of rusted structures. The whole dream was terrifying despite featuring no magic whatsoever.

    I used to have a recurring dream about learning one spell or another, getting it down, then having to use it in practice and not being able to do it. Which is probably why I haven't finished Legacy yet, accidentally using a spell that's on cooldown is so frustrating and also brings back memories of being a shit wizard.

    Surprisingly, no. I've had tons of dreams about other fandoms, but never Potter that I can remember.

    I have, several times. Usually Voldemort is trying to kill me and my wand isn't working very well and Dumbledore is trying to protect me but isn't doing a very good job, but luckily I seem pretty immune to Voldemort's curses so I don't die.
