Hey again, Tiakitty. Now, about "repressing" dreams...
You can't. Dreams occur wheen you are alseep, the time when your subconscious basically has free reign. Unless you become lucid, you can't simply STOP these dreams from occuring by repressing them, because you can't control your subconscious directly.
HOWEVER.
Having a recurring dream almost always indicates that whatever you are having recurring dreams about, occupies a dominant place in your mind, and you are troubled over it. Because this dream troubles you so, by actually worrying about these dreams, you increase the likelihood of them recurring. If you think about something a lot, in increases the chances of dreaming about it.
So, I would suggest, if you want your recurring dreams to go away, when you NEXT have one of these dreams, and you wake up in the morning and remember it... TRY not to be too bothered about it. Enjoy it for what it was, or if it wasn't enjoyable, don't worry about it too much. But, just don't worry about it too much during the day. If you let the dreams bother you, it's more likely they'll happen again. I know it's not as easy as it sounds, but I honestly believe that if you want to get rid of a recurring dream, you have got to find a way to be not too bothered by the recurring dreams, and their subject matter.
Hopefully, if you do this, the recurring dream will "fade away" with time.
