I've noticed that in my dreams I can dream about the same place, though there is no such place in real life. It can be months or years before I revisit those places in my dreams. There is one in particular I remember where it is a large "classroom" with wooden paneling, bleacher-style seats, stairs on either side and when someone is chasing me or after me, I hide in a hidden room within the wall. I think there are also large windows as in my last dream there was an ocean outside the windows.

That is the most recent place I remember, but I've been there more than once in my dreams. Other places that are familiar I do a certain thing over again, or I remember that I was there and I do not do the same thing over again.

Why do I dream about the same places even though they are not real?
