One of the most interesting dreams to have is the recurring dream. Recurring dreams are dreams about same person or same situation, which keep recurring again and again.
Recurring dreams about the same person can be extremely difficult to handle especially if we want to forget about this person.
Sometimes people we dream about are people we hurt or people we were romantically involved in. The initial thought about these dreams is that we miss these people or we are longing to see them even in our dreams.
So, what does it mean if you dream about someone repeatedly? There are few possible explanations for these dreams and they depend on our relationships in real world.
Guilty conscious
Recurring dreams about someone can be a reflection of our guilty conscious. Sometimes we do things and regret doing them later on. Our actions and words can affect other people greatly, so we need to be careful about what we say and do. Recurring dreams come to us as a form of torture.
Our brain is preoccupied with thoughts about our previous actions and we can’t seem to shake these thoughts off. Even if you don’t think about that person in real life, on daily basis, your conscious is well aware of what you did.
Karma always finds a way to get back at us, even if it is just through our dreams. This is why we have to be careful about our actions and words and always think about the effect it has on other people.
Power of our mind is incredible and capabilities we possess, is amazing. We keep so many information in the back of our mind that even we are not aware of them. Our dreams are always true reflections of our mind and our thoughts. Our emotions are best portrayed in our dreams, even if we are not aware of their existence.
Dreams we have about same people that keep on occurring are a reminder to take a step back and think about your actions. Something you did was wrong and you hurt someone with your actions or words.
Your conscious is telling you to seek that person and try to apologize for the things you have done. Recurring dreams will disappear magically and you will finally get a good night’s sleep.
Missing someone in real life
Dreams about someone that keep occurring can represent our desire to see someone we haven’t seen in a long time. Dreams like this are representations of our emotions and feelings for someone. In real life we often suppress our feelings and pretend like nothing is happening.
This is our survival mechanism that we need in order to go through difficult moments in life.
When we realize that there is no chance we are going to be with someone, we deny our feelings and keep running away from them. But, the only place where our mind has the freedom to think about anything is in our dreams.
This is the time when our mind is free to remind us about anything in the world, and if it chooses to remind us about someone then it must be an important person.
Dreams like this can be really heart-breaking especially if this person is someone we used to love.
There isn’t really a way to chase away these dreams, but you can try to talk with this person and perhaps straighten things up. If there are any unresolved issues between you two, a conversation could help you scare these dreams once and for all.
Wishing for something to be real
It might sound impossible, but the situation or person you are dreaming about might be your dream come true.
When we are focused on something, our brain gets preoccupied with the thing we are thinking about and it keeps thinking about it even when we are sleeping.
If you keep having dreams about the same person over and over again, perhaps you want to have this person in your life. This is an especially common dream for those who are longing for someone in a romantic way.
Our minds keep thinking about this person and don’t stop doing it even when we are sleeping.
The only way, you can chase away a dream like this is by talking to this person openly or try to win him or her over. It is time to make this dream come true and to finally stop dreaming and start living.
We are wishing for someone to come back
Recurring dreams can often be about people who are departed. People who died can keep appearing in our dreams and they fall into the category of most disturbing dreams.
When someone we love dies, our souls suffer and we need time to get used to the fact that they are gone forever.
When our minds can’t deal with this fact, they keep bringing up memories stored in the back of our mind. To some people, dreams like this can be a consolation and a way to deal with the loss of someone important in their life.
To others, dreams like this can be extremely disturbing and uncomfortable. The best way to deal with these dreams is to talk to a psychologist or someone who knows you the best. Perhaps a conversation with people who understand us can help us deal with the loss of someone we loved.
These dreams usually disappear on their own and we have no control over them. Keep saying to yourself that this is just a dream and enjoy the presence of someone who is not with you anymore, even if it is just in your dream.
Recurring nightmares
Recurring nightmares can happen for various reasons. Hey can often be representations of traumas we experienced in early childhood or traumatic experiences that happened to us later on in life.
When they keep appearing in our dreams, we can start to lose desire to sleep and cause problems in our real life.
Many people experienced recurring nightmares in their life. An event we are dreaming of could be a representation of a real life event or a representation of something imaginary, like monsters.
When events we are dreaming of have a more realistic feeling or when they are linked to something we experienced, the reason behind their appearance might be in this dream.
If we keep dreaming about an accident we were in, then we were probably affected by this event more than we think.
Best way to deal with these recurring dreams is to visit a psychologist or talk to someone who knows how to keep our mind of this traumatic event.
If you haven’t experienced what you keep dreaming about, then you might be receiving a warning for the future. This might be something you are afraid of and you want to avoid it at all costs. Dreams like this don’t have to be premonitions of something that will happen, but be careful just in case.
If nightmares that keep occurring are imaginary and unrealistic, then they could be a result of traumatic experiences in our life.
Something is definitely bothering you and you should talk to someone who can help you deal with emotions that are hidden deep inside your consciousness.
