recurring dream
Sleep's looping vision
A recurring dream is a dream that repeats, either identically or with consistent themes, settings, or situations, across multiple nights.
Common examples include dreams of falling, being chased, or showing up unprepared for an exam.
In psychology, recurring dreams are often interpreted as signals of unresolved anxiety or persistent concerns: I keep having that recurring dream where my teeth fall out.
