Hello
Dont bother about dreams .It is normal part of sleep cycle. During total sleep two types of sleep in layman understanding are there dreaming sleep( called as REM sleep which costitute about 30 percent of total sleep) and nondreaming sleep ( called as NREM sleep which is 70 percent of total sleep)These come alternate throuh out sleep As we do not have any voliantry control on mind during sleep content of dreams have no importance

As regards same content every time as per Freud it has to do some thing with your life in past but nothing to worry about it. If you are stuck with it and fear it it may be repeated again and again in dream form
otherwise not significant
