I never had a recurring dream, but I've had a recurring person appear in my dreams for several years. This person was one of the reasons I started a dream journal. It's my best friend from first grade, "Lily." We were best friends throughout elementary school, then middle school separated us. However, we spoke on the phone regularly (then later through email) and visited each other every chance we could. It wasn't until high school, sophomore year was when we had stopped regular contact.
It was after high school when Lily started appearing in my dreams. Randomly. We would later reconnect through MySpace in 2007.
"Lets get together sometime!" That's what we'd always say. It never happened. Then I moved away for school. She deleted her MySpace (or she removed me.)
We're now "friends" on Facebook (oh, Facebook) and I'm back in my hometown, but neither one of us have made any effort to reach out, just the typical "Happy Birthday!" wall post and the liking of each other's statuses.
I had a dream about her last night.
It was a scavenger hunt in an abandoned high school parking lot. Cars drove in and out. Teams sat on the black asphalt assembling their puzzles. Scattered letters covered the ground. Art crafts too. Lily, a nameless girl and I were on a team. I saw familiar faces from my past.

- There's plenty of people I should reconnect with. (Face to face reconnection.) Especially "Lily."
