whats the deal with recurring dreams?

i used to have LOADS of them when i was a kid and i can still remember in detail what they were about...

I've always wondered this too, as I have a few which I dream rather often. The worst and weirdest is this.

I dream I am driving down a road, and glance up to see the sign for the intersecting road, "Fleetwood Road" I then hear a girl who's with me in the car (I never see her face) scream, and I look to the right, in time to see a red pick-up truck plow into the car, killing us both, and I wake up.

I've been having this dream every couple of months since I was a toddler, and had never been to Fleetwood Road, and couldn't read in the first place, although in the dream I somehow could read it.

One day, when I was around 6 or 7, we were driving to Fenelon Falls, to go to my mother's favourite antique shop, or something. I was playing my game-boy. I suddenly got a chill, and looked up for probably the first time the whole drive, to see the sign for Fleetwood Road. I looked over, sure enough, red pick-up truck driving toward us. Luckily, no crash.

Ever since then, every time I go up that way, I get the same shiver, and look up, which is usually the first or second time the whole drive, and see the sign for Fleetwood road. About 60% of the time, there is a red pickup, red car, or pickup truck either driving or stalled.

Strange? I think so.

the ones i used to have were...

i was like 5-8 years old i think i cant really remember,  i was walkin down the Pier at the harbor and the place would be totally deserted, id then hear something coming from the water and when i look round this GIANT great white jumps out of the water and onto the Pier which is like impossible considering the height of the Pier and eats me whole... then it all goes dark and i can see my bed, like just my bed, and i can see myself falling from above it and when i hit the bed i wake up...

the other was even more weird and pretty hazy to remember as i was VERY young, but here goes... it started in a MASSIVE white room with small white chairs and tables, kinda like the ones you get for toddlers and a massive TV screen like the kind at the cinema and it was ALL WAYS on static, then i herd my dad (or what i thought was my dad) shouting at someone and then a massive booming voice coming from the screen then they'd argue for a while then a massive flash of light came from the screen and i wake up :confused:

Repeating dreams can happen for a multitude of reasons.  

1.  You are having a psychic episode.  You need to pay attention so you can work out the details and figure out the meaning.

2.  You brain is trying to deal with a particular fear or situation that bothers you.

3.  Certain events during the day cause the dream to occur that night.  Mostly because of similar feelings or events to that of the dream.

4.  Your crazy.  Not necessarily fun but possible.

5.  Trip down memory lane.  Some times dreams that you are fond of repeat a lot.

6.  Hormones. Chemical imbalances will do it to.

7.  Physical ailments.  Body deals with pain in many different ways.

8.  Aside from just being crazy, O.C.D. can do numbers on ya.  You obsess about things in life and in your dreams.

9.  Other people.  You continually run into people you love/hate triggering an emotional response.  Emotions already mentioned but I wanted to be specific that certain people can cause this.

I could go on and on about some more very specific things but the generals are usually good enough.  But suffice it to say there are more physical things that create repeating dreams than non-physical.
