Recurring Dream

I can definitely believe the theory that recurring dreams are your subconscious trying to get you to acknowledge or fix something in your life. I realized some time ago that I've been having a similarly themed dream ever since I was little. I don't exactly see the significance of it - at least it's not something obviously related to an event in my life.

Basically it's all about elevators. I am being chased by some kind of killer or villain and I run onto an elevator and then it's all about eluding him from there. Choosing the right floors to push, what do you when you get to the floor - run off or stay in the elevator? You have to remember that if he's in the lobby he can probably see what floor you got off on so you have to be tricky and press a bunch of buttons. Usually I'm protecting others in the process, last night it was little cartoon animals and this silly little pig got off on the floor that the killer was on. So of course there was a mad rush to get the pig and get the elevator doors closed which did so just as the killer was about to get us (of course). The details are always different: what the building looks like, what the villain looks like (never can really remember this), the strategies I choose to use, etc.

I swear I've been having this dream ever since I can remember, usually about once every few months. I googled it and most of the results related to eleavtors that crash, stop unexpectedly, or leave the dreamer trapped inside. None of these things ever happen in mine. Hmm, wonder what it means!
