What’s yours? I have two short ones that just seem to repeat all night.

In the first, I’m a child and a bee flies into my hair, exploding into a thick goo. I run around my parents bed, screaming until it goes away, and another bee flies into my hair.

In the second, I’m a ghost on Davy Jones’ ship. Everything is green like the ghost pirate in SpongeBob, and set up like an old Donkey Kong game. I have to balance on beams and jump over barrels and past pirates trying to cut me in half. I’ve never “won” the game unfortunately.

ETA: I’ve been having these dreams for 20+ years

While I've only had a few dreams repeated (at most three times I think), for a long time, I had a recurring theme. I was chased by someone or something, either in my school, through the city or just some random location I didn't actually know irl. Often these three would just kinda mix and lead to one another.
But it was really rare for such a dream to be a nightmare, instead I kinda had fun running away because I could just jump off some balcony and softly glide down while my pursuer had to take the stairs or some other long way.
Although I knew for sure that I'd die if I ever got caught, I was often in a giggly mood and not even running anywhere near my maximum speed.

I haven't had one of these in a few years and it actually took me a bit to notice, so I wonder if/how they were related to something about my school life or something else.
