Why do we get recurring dreams?

According to a study published in Dreaming journal in 2022, between 50% and 75% of adults have experienced a recurring dream at least once. These tend to be negatively toned, with some common examples including falling into thin air, finding oneself naked, losing one’s teeth or failing an exam. And how often a recurring dream recurs really varies from person to person.
