Dreams about repeating something – what do they mean? (Dream interpretation repetition)
Repetition, to do something over and over again in a dream – what does it mean?
Research shows that many have dreamt that they repeat the same action over and over again. What is this about? (NOTE: Click here if you were searching for the blogpost about recurring dreams)
Dream of repetition as a picture of a feeling of facing an impossible mission or to be “stalled”.
Dreams where you repeat the same action over and over again may simply be a picture of the fact that you in your life are faced with a task/challenge where you feel powerless.
At the same time it can also be a picture that you somehow are stuck in your life, and not really move forward from where you are – either in your development or in your positions. The dream thus indicates that there is an immeasurably need of a new perspective/position, and maybe you can seek the help of another/some you would not normally get involved in your challenges, because you find it difficult to even see a solution to your situation/your problem.
Repeating an inappropriate pattern.
The dream may also be a picture that you once again have brought yourself or are about to bring yourself in an unfortunate situation. Perhaps you might be leaving a girlfriend/partner for exactly the same reason as last time. You have not caught sight of something in yourself that is either “forcing” you into the same unfortunate circumstances or “forcing” you out of a good relationship. This pattern may also apply to your work that you in other words once again flee into a new job, without grabbing the root of the problem.

NOTE: Dreams are 100% individual, and when you dream about repeating something, it’s almost certainly about something else for you than it is for your friend, who also dreamt about repeating something. Dream interpretation / dream analysis is sometimes a difficult art, and a particular interpretation of a dream is only correct if you feel “affected” by it. Therefore, it is not certain that the above mentioned interpretations are relevant to you.
I just had a dream that people I know exegete trying to kill me and every time they got close this group of men would come and kill them instead then I would wake up in a hospital and somehow walk into a theater where a bloody arm would pop out and the dream would start over and each time I would make it just a little closer to being able to get To my car. The third time I was back in the theater I realized the only way to make it stop was to wake up but when I did there was this scary creature like thing earring at my side then I woke up for real. I’m scared
I just woke from a dream ive never really had before . The last couple months of my life have really changed , and I’ve been dreaming like crazy .
This dream I was trying to get to work (I start a new job today) and also trying to drop the person I started seeing a few month ago , off at work . We were in a weird car , and as we were trying to exist on the interstate , we came across a large semi crash on this exit bridge . As we stopped , we were leaning so far forward , we should’ve fallen . People help us turn around , but then all of a sudden the ground below us Alonso’s softens , and we start falling off the road , head first . We hit the ground (which is odd for a dream) and I’m expecting more pain , but it felt more pressure like ? And then I close my eyes and we’re back , repeating the same exact thing , the exact same fall , that’s pressure feeling all over again . And then I woke up .
Like I said , I dream very frequently , and they’re usually pretty similar … but this one was so weird .
I have had dreams of being chased a million times but every time I get away from the person or thing that is chasing me the dream restarts and Im running away again trying to stay alive.
its like I cant escape my dream and while im sleeping im aware that the dream is on repeat.
Its always someone trying to kill me or hurt me in some way.
what could this mean? Its making me feel paranoid walking past people, I feel like everyone is out to get me.
I can figure out the meaning of my dream: I was with a girl who I think was my fiend and she needed help pay two people she owed as we are going around to sell stuff the bank teller the video store guy said the only way forward is back as though it was a goodbye phrase. We still needed more money and so we went back to the high school and the high school was doing the elementary school track sports I stopped to watch them feeling of sad happiness. Then a friend came up next to me he said I remember when that was you. I said me too and I went inside to the classroom and my friend was freaking out about the money I told her we would figure it out. We went back out side to her care and again I fell behind to watch the track meet she yelled out for me to hurry I went to her and told her I wanted to stay she said come on. The other friend came up and Said he was staying to. She said what ever and trim back to her car realizing someone was inside I went with her over to the car it was the people who she owed money she said I got it figured out and left I went back over to the track and every one was gone so I went inside and in a classroom was my old teacher I said idk if you remember me he said he did I asked I could hang out and picked up a kid and started reading to them after a little the mother walked in and started talking to the teacher and then look at me and said the only way forward is back right it a casual but tired tone
I must note: I do not know who the guy friend or girlfriend are I just felt like I knew them and the guy was clearing dropping hints that he liked me. The teacher had more a distrusting tone and the mother lighthearted stressed tone. I also want to note that I am not in high school I am 24 and married and I live in a whole other state now. No kids. I don’t have money issues. But the dream felt like a warning and all of what happened in the dream were similar to life even that have occurred in the past
Good afternoon
I have a dream that I am at my ex fiancee house in my seat I’ve sat for 7 years watching tv with her mum and dad with my jen and we are talking about things I wake up and go back to the same situation or move on to going out with her either in a hotel or shopping things we did together can you tell me what they mean
Hello there. So I just had this dream once, and I am writing this right after it happened so I dont forget. So the scene is a mixture of a night hollween/videogame theme in the begining where I am not in control of where I am shooting in my video game. ( I play call of duty mobile and I didnt feel like I could play at all the day I had the dream.) I would be moving in circles really fast (flicks like you would with a sniper in COD, but constantly) and not knowing what was going on and I had no control over it. Then I would go “prone” or lay down and let people shoot me. That happened three or four times in the same dream. Imediately after, I woke up in my bed in a random hallway that I do not recognize. (To give context, I live in a two story house and sleep on the second story and that is where I woke up) in this dream I would constantly try to get out of bed, and say “In the name of Jesus leave” because I felt possed/slowed down/not in control. At first, I could slowly get out of bed walk into the hallway and then it started to restart. The more I tried waking myself up, the more it got worse, I felt slower and then hamds (it went from 2 hand to 4 random hands before I woke up) started touching/poking me in which I had no control over. The more I fought it the more stuck in bed I got and the less I could yell out “in the name of jesus leave”. After this happened I woke up and this was by far the scariest dream I ever had considering I am 19 and havent been scared of a dream enough to walk into my parents room and wake them up. This happened around 6 times total. What do you think happened with me? Do I feel stuck in life, am I not in control of something, is it the devil trying to toy with me, what do you think?
Dear Luke,
I am sorry to inform you that I currently don’t help out here (for free), as I am focusing fully on the completion of my next book. You can try asking this one major question with regards to the dream; how might this dream in any way be relevant for my waking life? I can offer to help you in a private session (with payment), please see more here. Best regards – Michael
Hi guys. So like My dream kinda repeats itself, but I’m also searching for its deeper meaning, if you know what I mean. So lately, I’ve been dreaming of an old friend, almost for two straight weeks now. He & I used to be really close, but then he met some new people & he completely changed. It’s almost like he forgot about me. Anyways, my dream: I was in a short hallway, covered in dirty white wall, & I was talking to an adult friend…apparently, I knew he was an alien, I was part alien, & he told me that another young friend of his was an alien like he & I, too. Next thing I know I’m on an open field at my old elementary school. It wen up to sixth grade. But it’s weird, because while I was at my sixth-grade-elementary school, there were people from both sixth & seventh grade there with me. I drew on my white shoes with blue marker while listening to a boring announcement, then I was told that the counselor, an elderly but energetic woman I’ve never even met, a complete stranger, wanted to see me. Apparently, some stranger best friends of mine were fighting over me. Then next thing I know, my old friend shows up. He says that he needs me to come with him because he needs help with something, so I do. On our way there, I start to tell him about drawing on my shoe, but then I look down & it’s clean: apparently it rained, & I wasn’t even wet until after I knew that it rained. Next thing I know, we’re sitting at a table with another elderly but strict woman who looks like she could be the counselor’s sister or somethingup. Then my old friend is somehow viewing my memories, which, in the dream, were no memories of mine. He was smiling & staying silent. Then I was presented to some strangers. A boy & a girl, both dark hair, pale skin, & dark clothes. I recognized them from somewhere( in the dream), & I said the boy’s name. Then I looked up, & I saw a sign that said his name!? At the end of the dream, I was saying “i’m sorry, I am so sorry”. Then my alarm went off & I woke up scared, hurt, & almost crying.
the meaning?
– confused?
Dear IRL, what an highly interesting dream! Dreams should always be related to current waking life -i.e. asking; how might this dream in any way be of relevance to your waking life right now? Since most of the events take place in elementary school/childhood you could ask – how might what I experienced during elementary school be of relevance right now in my life? E.g. what did I “learn” about myself / about life back then – that might be right – or might be totally wrong? You could examine the relationship with your close friend (back then) – what did you “learn” in this friendship – or, what type of person was your friend, and how might (e.g.) accessing/connecting with this side in yourself be of relevance? There is a lot more to talk about/say regarding this dream – but it would require a dialogue/your response to my thoughts. Best – Michael R Olsen
