I think recurring dreams are you trying to get your attention about something. Once your attention has been snagged/you resolve the issue, you don't have any need for the dream so it is gone. Don't think you can convince your unconscious to give it back. It would be like wanting to relive that day at the beach when you were 5. . . you might have a somewhat "similar" day but it would not be "that" day. Everything, including our selves, moves on.
I was part of an academic dream group once and we did group projects where we all tried to dream about the same/similar objects but, of course, even when we did our actual dreams were different, individual.
I would create art, stories, etc. about the dream themes and objects/metaphors and see if I could eventually get my unconscious to give me a dream about or related to one of them. My spirit animal is the bear because of dreams about it I have had and one in particular was precious to me but that dreaming experience is a memory to me now like any other real experience. Repetitive dreams seem the "same" but the night you dream them is different from the other nights, the "when" is important, what triggered a dream that night, etc. is part of the experience. As a child I went to my grandparents beach cottage several summers, many different nights but each day is different and it is the cumulative effect, not an individual day that is important there; your repetitive dream(s) are similar I think.
