Recurring dreams reflect feelings and awarenesses that have not been successfully resolved in our waking lives. Unresolved feelings often include the sudden loss of a loved one or an abrupt end to a romantic relationship! We wish the situation could have ended differently, so we tend to replay it in our minds.

Sometimes what may appear to be a recurring dream is actually not a dream at all but a symptom of a sleep disorder such as a night terror or confusional arousal.
