I pretty much never remember my dreams. But one time I did wake up with a profound feeling that I had just awoken from a recurring dream. I don't remember what the dream was about, but only that it was recurring. I had this surprised feeling because I had never experienced recurring dreams before, and I had always been skeptical of anyone having experienced them. And then I realized that I had awoken from a dream about recurring dreams. The idea that I had dreamed this before was part of the dream, and I now suspect that all 'recurring' dreams are like this.
