Any idea what this reoccurring dream could mean?

Question

I've had this dream a couple times now, and it never deviates from the same basic series of events.  

The dream seems to happen in this kind of series of flashes and sticks with me most the day. It also ends curiously, though I have to admit it makes me laugh. (Good kind of laugh.)  I guess looking at myself being somewhat silly for maybe reading too much into it.

In the dream it begins with me traveling abroad.  I don't know where I am since I can't read the signs, but it's someplace in Europe, that much I know.  In the next flash, I'm hiking somewhere and have a fall, breaking my leg. I'm in the distant woods and all by myself and feel pretty hopeless.

Here's where things turn odd.

In the next series of flashes I see myself lying on this pallet in the back of a traditional type (or at least as any story might write them) horse drawn gypsy wagon. My leg is mended and I'm being tended by this gorgeous girl (I guess around 18-20) but I can't speak.  It's not like my mouth is gagged, but for some reason I can't make a sound come out of my mouth.

In the last flash, I'm sleeping with this girl. Now it's not sexual, but more like she's trying to protect me or keep me warm. It's as though it's very cold there and she keeps speaking to me, saying something that I don't understand but it sounds caring.  Kinda like a mother to a child.  As before, I can't speak during this, being unable to produce some sound from my mouth.

A couple times of this I've awoke, only to find myself curled up in a ball with one of my pillows held tightly to me, almost as I was holding the girl in the dream.

Most dreams contain messages that serve to teach us something about ourselves. Unfortunately many a times we forget what we dream about as we go about our daily routine. With recurring dreams, the message may be so important and/or powerful that it just will not go away. The frequent repetition of such dreams forces you to pay attention and confront the dream.   The dream is trying desperately to tell you something.  Such dreams are often nightmarish or frightening in their content, which also helps you to take notice and pay attention to them.

Recurring dreams are quite common and are often triggered by a certain life situation or a problem that keeps coming back again and again. These dreams may recur daily, once a week, or once a month, but whatever the frequency, there is little variation in the dream content itself. It usually points to a personal weakness, fear, or your inability to cope with something in your life - past or present. 

The repetitive patterns in your dream can reveal some of the most valuable information on yourself. It may point to a conflict, situation or matter in your waking life that remains unresolved or unsettled.  Or some urgent underlying message in your unconscious is demanding to be understood.  

Following are some tips in overcoming your recurring dreams.  

1. In understanding your recurring dream, you must be willing to accept some sort of change or undergo a transformation.

2. You must be willing to look within yourself and confront whatever you may find no matter how difficult it my be. 

3. You must be able to look at the dream from an objective point of view. Try to get pass the emotional and reactive elements of the dream and get down to the symbolic images. Many times dreams are masked by elements that are disturbing preventing you to delve any deeper. This is a  defense mechanism that your unconscious may be putting up.

4. Be patient. Do not get discourage if these dreams still recur even after you thought you have come to understand them.

5. Learn to accept yourself truly and fully. 

Often times, once you discover what your recurring dream is trying to tell you, these dreams will change or altogether disappear.

I think this might be to do with te actions in your sleep. Your (hiking) may of been lifting your head up maybe and almost forreging wit your arms trying to hold onto the rock(or pillow) as the pilow is not attached to anything (mayb some broken rock off the mounatin) you fall and your head drops down again. You're more relaxed ow and have a relaxing scene (or flash) and now you can feel your pillow that acts as another material to keep the cold from reaching you in your bed (i.e nogaps or anyhting) you hug the pillow to feelwarmer of protected and that's that...

Hope my theory helped!
