 What do recurring vistas mean in dreams?

The only recurring element of my dreams I can note are two vistas. In one I am always in the same amusement park on the stairs to the same ride, and looking out over the park. In another I am standing on the deck of a building and looking out over a long, wide wooded trail. In these moments I feel good, totally absorbed in the magic of the scene.

Who knows, but my dreams are full of Linux, so mine are obviously superior.

(that linux thing can become viral; - check with an epidemiologist)
but the landscape of a person's dreams is a very personal construct. most people do however have an amusement park-like place that they keep going to.
it may be an overlay of many places which most easily connects the person to many memories.
Sometimes it is not obviously a crosspoint to the aggregate collection of memories, or the totality of life experiences, but it ends up being the most connected launch site to everything.
it is a place from which all other places are reached most easily in no time at all.
the character of a topsy turvey amusement park is the most apt motif to illustrate how the mind can connect disparate images. when you bring hundreds of symbols together and blend them it really does appear quite simmilar to a strange toy filled world or an amusement park.
I frequently find myself in strange architectures with trap doors to alternate rooms and devices that bring people together from faraway times, and people of all ages some with compelling energies and talents.

Only you can know this.

I often dream about a train tunnel. I've had it since I was a kid. It is kind of like that scene from Pink Floyd's The Wall where that kid puts those bullets on the train track.
Kinda like this.

seems important...
shouldn't I spend more time here, maybe at least keep some park tickets handy?
I think something else fits your description...I feel like gods and goddesses must be the same type of construct (from the subconscious, rather than orthodoxy).

I was at the beach yesterday and as I first made my way down to the water I had a flashback to dreams I've had in the past about the ocean. The dark brown waves beneath the cloudy sky reminded me of several dream landscape experiences of the past...so much that I felt for a flash that I was in a waking dream.

One day Ananda, who had been thinking deeply about things for a while, turned to the Buddha and exclaimed, "Lord, I've been thinking - spiritual friendship is at least half of the spiritual life!"
The Buddha replied: "Say not so, Ananda, say not so. Spiritual friendship is the whole of the spiritual life!"
Oh the good old days in merry old England and Europe. It was especially tasty to be a women then. Yes it certainly was better in the past.-Icelander
