I relive things a lot in my dreams, too. I once dreamed I was in a battle, and a tidal wave came over everyone and washed away the castle (which was, of course, made of sand) The castle was destroyed, but after the wave hit, the dream would start all over again and the wave would come again and the castle would be destroyed again. When I woke up, i thought the dream had been a recurring dream from a different night, but realized they had all recurred in one night. lol

That's when I kick myself because it seems like the perfect time to go lucid...
