reoccurring nightmere dreams

[True Dream Binder]

I don't know that I feel entrapped necessarily in reoccurring dreams but I don't seem to get anywhere in them. Two reoccurring dreams that I have are of a house (I have no idea if these are supposed to be the same house or not). It's a huge house. In one dream, I am always in a den (or living room) with a fireplace and many windows (not tons but more than normal) and a French style door leading to the outside, the back yard where there are many trees and eventually water. I cannot tell if this water is simply a stream but I get the feeling it's bigger than that. I end up walking or running in this backyard but for what? I have no idea. I do not feel fear but I do feel some sort of "on edge" feeling or anxious. In this same dream I sometimes am in a room in this house with wooden floors and no furniture. I can't really describe the area of this room with windows but it's almost like a tiny, miniature stage with just a couple of steps going up (does that make sense?) and there are big windows in this area but they are covered with big red velour curtains. The second dream dealing with this house always leads me to the attic. I always end up going up steps and going to the attic but I never seem to enter it. The steps are not plain boring attic steps, they have turns but not dangerous.
I have yet another reoccurring dream that deals with jails and tunnels but I think maybe I have an idea what that one is about. Can you make any sense out of these others?
