People who have dreams that come back to them often may wonder what they mean. Most of us can't say for sure, but most psychologists agree that having the same dream over and over is a sign that we are trying to figure out something important.
On top of that, they tend to be more memorable than our usual dreams because they are often about things we think about every day.
