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.
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
