Why Do We Have Reoccurring Dreams?

Why do we have reoccurring dreams? This has been an issue of mine for a really long time, for years. I never understood why this happened to me until recently I researched this topic in hopes of gaining a better understanding. Many times our dreams are a random cast of characters and sometimes the same person just keeps showing up.
