serynDoes anyone else have dream locations that repeat? Not like real life locations, but dreamscapes your mind has invented. Do those come back and star in new dreams?
My brain has started recycling sets for my dreams.
What I was dreaming before I woke up was that I got off at the wrong bus stop (way too early) and was going to miss my date to see the fireworks. I tried hitchhiking but the Asian woman driving a rented 1972 Nova (gray) was going the other way and opted to take the other hitchhiker instead. So I pulled out my phone, called the person I was going to miss and explained the problem.
But the background setting was this enormously steep suspension bridge where in a previous dream that section at the crest didn't always exist, so only cars who can make the leap Dukes of Hazzard style had people who didn't fall to their deaths. In this dream there wasn't any concern about that... it just looked like the same bridge where the dream driving had been terrifying. It scared me enough to get off the bus early in this dream, but it's more like the backdrop was shuffled in at random and my brain was pissed that I missed the date it had set up so carefully.

I could certainly see the untangling of the storyline causing a setting to repeat for the foreground setting. Or where the location has an importance to the situation. (It does help that you have that kind of repetition. So I don't feel like a freak.)
This felt more like I was dreaming on "green screen" and the CGI background was just pulled from tape archive. My brain was so irked that I'd gotten off the bus "for no reason" that I awakened from it.
