Often times, in my dreams, I re-visit locations which don't seem to be inspired by real-life or fiction, but that are consistent and familiar in multiple regards. Although the dream worlds in which I am deal with completely different topics the locations are often familiar.
For example, half a year ago I had two dreams pertaining to a high security factory/complex which had a road leading up a hill perpendicular to its entry gates. Just a few hours ago I had a similar dream, that I was in my real-world car, being pursued by some sort of enemies, and I drove through the double gates of this factory for safety, because I recognized that in a previous dream breaching the compound resulted in overwhelming armed response from facility security.
Furthermore, the road that leads up the hill has a large shoulder of plant growth, a fence, and on the other fence is a trail that links to my dream home, which links to a monorail/metro station. Within the last half year I've had at least two dreams pertaining to the use of the metro and/or the trail. I have familiarity with this specific city location of my dreams from which I have drawn multiple decisions in response to the unfoldings of dreams that take place in that location.
There are other locations, some which I have not visited in years or decades. When I find myself in those locations, in dream state, I recall the familiarity and make dream-decisions based on my previous dreams that took place in those same locations.
These locations are never perfectly consistent, but they have familiar 'anchoring points', such as the factory/complex mentioned initially.
There's no conclusion to this, just woke up in the middle of the night wondering about it.
I have a couple of dream world locations I've been to many times. One is a sort of central American rural police station with interrogation/ torture rooms. Unpainted cinder block , flat roof, surrounded by dusty bare earth. Many happenings in dreams there, like rescuing my wife. The other is a very very wooded steep hill with trails with cavern entrances as holes in the trails. On the far side of the hill, high cliffs and a body of water, lake or river or reservoir. It was often a terrain of war/conflict.
