A Recurring Dream...

I see myself in a strange place. This is my second time in the same place, same spot, at the same time. I have visited this place once before... another night... in my dream.

The first time, I was alone. I was looking for a way out of that place, back to somewhere I am familiar with. But I am stuck. I have tried every direction but I always end up on the same place, same spot, same time. It frustrates me. And then everything fades and I wake up.

I have never thought of that dream again until last week, when I dreamed the same dream. But this time, I was with someone. A girl. I did not see her face but I was holding her hand the whole time. I walked around trying to decide which direction to take this time, as I recognized the place. Then I saw someone familiar, an uncle. I approached him and he pointed me to the east. I know it's east because the sun has just risen from that direction. I asked him why he does not get out of the place and all he answered was, "I'm addicted to it". He looked happy. I started to freak out so I ran to the east with the girl in tow. I saw mummies on the side of the path and when I tried to walk through it, they started pushing me towards the ravine. So I turned back and faced the girl. I still did not see her face but facing her while holding her hand brought me a certain peace. I became calm. And smiled. Then I woke up.

I wonder. I think I know now what this means. But I also want to hear your interpretation. Tell me what you think about this recurring dream...
