Recurring locations in dreams

Back when I used to dream more, before my mom died, I would have dreams that I would visit locations that feel familiar and yet whenever I would wake up, I didn't recognize them or know where they even were. And sometimes I'd have dreams of the same location over and over again at times. There have even been occurrences of me seeing people that seemed very familiar to me in my dreams but I don't recognize or have any recollection of ever meeting before.

Anyone else ever have dreams like this?
