I have had a lot of dreams recently where I am performing some task that never seems to be complete. It's like there is a mission or a purpose, or an action that I am doing, which would ordinarily be completed quickly, but it seems to go on and on for a long time.

For example, I had one dream where I lost a bag and kept searching for it, but I never seemed to find it. In another one, I was cleaning up a room and picking up my belongings like a wallet and other things that had been in my pockets. In another dream, I was working on a boat and I was cranking on pulley of some sort.

Is this a common structure of dreams, and, if so, does anyone have any ideas as to what it means or why it comes up?
