What does it mean when you dream the same dream over and over?

Repetitive dreams of running away from something usually refer to an issue or problem that the dreamer is avoiding in real life. When the dreamer stops avoiding the issue in real life and resolves the problem, the dream stops recurring.

Dreams tap into our subconscious. If someone has the same dream repeatedly it may be that it is a memory or that we are trying to figure out, in our sleep - something about our waking lives.

Some people find it helpful to use a dream dictionary and looking up the symbols in the dream to try to figure out exactly what you are trying to tell yourself with this dream. However, dream dictionaries do not allow for the unique qualities of each individual, or allow similar images to represent different things to different dreamers.

It depends on the dream. If you are chasing something it means that you have a great amount of stress. If you are naked, it means you feel exposed.

Recurring dreams usually contain a message that the dreamer needs to understand. The dreams continue to repeat until the dreamer understands and acts on the message of the dream.

Scary images in a repeating dream symbolize a problem or issue the dreamer needs to resolve.

In general, most recurring dreams refer to some issue that the dreamer is avoiding in real life. These dreams tend to recur until the problem is resolved.
