1. When I was a kid, I used to have "fever dreams" that were always the same theme. I didn't even know "fever dreams" were a thing then, but mine were very abstract that had no 'narrative' but upsetting. Imagine watching an EKG machine of a heartbeat on a oscilloscope like screen. Suddenly another signal - another heartbeat - appears and starts to disrupt the original heartbeat signal. Pretty soon both descend into chaos. During those periods of chaos I would get very physically agitated, almost unable to breath. I know that doesn't make sense, it never made sense to me....but this was a recurring dream as a kid I would have only when sick.

i sometimes have a more funny recurring dream

2. Two or three times in college I had dreams where either I missed a test or in one case had a dream that I missed an entire semester of classes and arrived on last day for final. In my dream it was quite funny (well funny after I woke up), because in the dream the professor was berating me for doing so poorly on the final and I was trying to defend myself....offering this excuse or that....finally he said: "None of your excuses make any sense, you have missed every single class this semester!" and only when he said that did I realize that I had completely forgotten that this class had existed on my M-W-F schedule and thus hadn't ever made a single one....
