Let me start off by stating that this is my first time posting on a forum like this. I really hope someone can give me some insight into what has been going on in my dreams.

For the past couple of years I have been having recurring places in my dreams. The two places that I find myself at in my dreams are:

1: In a fancy hotel with dark red carpeting. There is always a big, plush stairway that leads to golden elevator doors. The elevator it's self is glass, I have ridden in it many times in my dreams. Sometimes I am running and scared of something while I am in this place other times I am just exploring or looking for something specific. But there is usually a feeling of being scared of something while in this dream hotel. Like it's haunted or something. I have never been to a place like this in real life.

2: In a big, old house. Once again I have never been in a house like this in real life. This house has many rooms and is usually by some sort of body of water. This house always has a room at the top of some stairs that I am always scared to go into. I know this room is haunted. I have visited it before in other dreams and have "saw" a ghost of a girl in a mirror or have even "felt" the presence of a ghost. This room also has a very nice, big bathroom connected to it. Every time I have this dream there seems to be a point where I am standing at the bottom of the stairs just staring into the haunted room but will not go in.
This place was in my dream last night except this time there seemed to be some kind of war raging on outside the house. I could hear gun shots and cop cars and fire trucks were all speeding by the house in the dream, and I am sitting inside the house (with a bunch of unknown people) watching all this happen all the while not being scared of the situation. It's the room at the top of the stairs that scares me....
A dream person asked me if I could show them where the bathroom in the haunted room was and I refused to show them.

Which brings me to my questions.
1. Do these recurring places mean anything?
2. Why do these places seem to be haunted?
3. Why does that haunted room at the top of the stairs in the big, old house get to me so much??

I know all these questions probably cannot be answered, I am really just looking for some insight about what I am dreaming. When I have one of these recurring places in my dreams I can remember almost EVERYTHING that happens in the dream. I can remember them so well sometimes that they stick on my mind all day and I find myself pondering the dream throughout the day. These dreams can even affect how my day goes and sometimes it can be kind of annoying. I am hoping someone on here will ease my mind a little bit.
