recurring dreams
Sleep's repeating visions
Recurring dreams are dreams that repeat, returning with similar content, themes, or imagery across multiple nights.
They often involve anxiety scenarios—being chased, falling, arriving unprepared for an exam.
Psychology tends to interpret them as the mind processing unresolved emotions or persistent stressors: I've had the same recurring dream about my childhood home for years.
