I keep getting stuck-cycle dreams and it's a little scary and weird; I'll share the two I've had

The first one was the worst, in which everything in my apartment was exactly the same to a t, and i would wake up and then go out and my living space would be different. each time i realized, maybe not it was a dream in the sense i could wake myself up, but in the dream i realized i was dreaming, and i had to go back to bed but to me it was real. so i would go back to sleep, and wake up. and go out to the living area, and it was wrong.

i did that 5 times before i woke up for good and i just was so relieved i was awake for real and i knew i was awake, but each time in my dream i rolled over to my bf and asked him "am i alseep, is this real" and each time in my dream he said "you're awake, this is real" until finally i for real woke up and i still had the sense of being tied down, but i broke out of it and i asked him if it was real and i knew for sure it was that was the worst ever honestly.

then last night i had one similar, in which i wake up in this big apartment, high ceilings. tons of sinks and showers and bathtubs- which in my dreams water is always a bad sign.

normally it means a giant tsunami, but i always wake up before it hits. ofc i don't know this as i dream, but water never means something good for me. in this one it was much the same only not my apartment and a dream one.

i was walking to one of the bathrooms where water and tubs were overflowing to be surprised by a strange man. i told him to leave, then woke up in my bed in the dream again, only to realize "i'm stuck" but not in a lucid way. the men came up to me in threes, each time right as i hit the bathroom, but the final time, this time #6, they got me in my bedroom.

one grabbed my wrist and then in real life my boyfriend opened the door and i woke up and i was just like thank god its over.

i wonder what cycle-stuck dreams mean and water dreams mean because for me water, usually a tub, always indicates a giant wave to happen soon.

These are kind of scary to have and while the first was in December I kind of am feeling weird I already had a second, though nothing can compare to how awful that feeling was even though I'm describing it and it doesn't sound scary. It was like being caught in Hotel California. I kept waking up wanting to leave, but not being lucid or able or even aware I could leave, just in this dream state where I didn't have a choice. My body in dreams, when I realize something is wrong, always gets this heavy tied down feeling too, so when I wake up my heart is pounding so bad.

It's weird. I wish I could have a video of the dreams I have because I forget nearly all of them, the stuck-cycles and a couple ones where I'm walking through old buildings are the ones that stick in my mind.
