I use to dream something along those lines. I found that i was searching for something, or trying to reclaim something that i had lost but didn't know how to get it back. I think the symbols in our dreams mean something. Each symbol in a dream represents something to us unconsciously. I use to own a book on the interpretation of dreams written by a native american and it made real sense to me. You mention a lot of nature, or the four elements in your dreams. Perhaps that is trying to say something to you. They all sound like your present is trying to communicate with your past, like make peace with it. They are not bad dreams. I hope that helps. tc
