Exactly what it says on the tin. Perhaps one only notices luck in its absence, but I've been trying to get a particular dream for about a week now. In doing so, I've taken much closer note of all the dreams I do get, mostly out of a disgruntled sense of 'you could have been the thing I'm looking for, but you're not'.
Well, I haven't seen a single Death By Water dream for this whole week, which is rather depressing, given that's the type I'm looking for. But it's not just the fact that certain dream types seem more common - for instance, What The Thunder Said is pretty common, whereas The Fire Sermon is not; I think that's already an established fact. And I only ever found my first A Game Of Chess dream yesterday, after about four weeks of playing.
Rather, I've noticed that the exact same dream cards keep coming up. For What the Thunder Said, I'm constantly drawing 'A Dream About the Mist (level 1), A Dream About the Desert (level 10; another of which I just drew as I'm writing this), and A Dream About Shelter (level 7). I think those are the only three I've seen over the past week, although I drew all of them multiple times. For The Burial of the Dead, the only card I've seen all week is A Dream About a Tombstone (level 5); but it has come up around four or five times. The 'Is Someone There' ones I've been getting haven't shown much repetition, although that may be because I haven't found many. And for the Fire Sermon, I've gotten perhaps three or four of those over the past week, all of which were the ones where I was throwing books into the Stolen River. Can't remember the title for that one, though.
Granted, this is only a week's worth of dreams, so it's not exactly the greatest sample size. Nor is it the most refined sample. But do you think this is luck and lack thereof, or have you also observed that certain cards come up more often than others?
I mean, obviously some cards are more common than others. I'm just rather confused by this turnabout, because I can't really see a reason to make certain dreams in a set more common or more rare than others.
