I really hope I chose the right forum to post this!

I'm noticing from working on my dream recall that there's certain buildings and spaces that happen repeatedly in my dreams. They're always buildings that I've never seen in my waking life. I find it really interesting that my subconscious has been able to reconstruct these places over and over again, and sometimes for years (I've been dreaming of the same shopping mall since middle school.)

Does anyone else experience this? What conclusions did you reach regarding the building's/space's significance, if any? Is it common for people to have recurring places in their dreams?

Oh, and if anyone's curious, my recurring places are:
-A ridiculously luxurious hotel/restaurant place.
-A high school or college
-A big shopping mall
-A nursing home

Feel free to share your recurring places if you have any.
