I have been having repeated dreams consistently for the last two weeks. This thread has two purposes.

First, what does it mean, in terms of what dreams are, to have repeated dreams? For example, some feel dreams are "random insignificant thoughts being recycled". Because I have had repeats, I don't think so.

Second, does anyone have any theories about how dreams work, that are able to be tested by having repeated dreams? For example, a small fluctuation of a symbol within the dream may reveal how symbolism is portrayed.

Of course, any other thoughts regarding dream re-runs are also welcome.
