When I was younger

When I was younger I used have these nightmares several times in a row that lasted until I saw something. It was a hotel staircase with yellow gross wallpaper and dim lights, I remember constantly walking down the stairs and going through impossibly long hallways, littered with locked doors, and an old carpet. I remember every one of those dreams, I always woke up when I saw a creature with dear like features peek over a corner. It's been many years since I've had those nightmares but I remember them very clearly from my fear of getting lost and being homesick easily. Any thoughts?
