Hello Patrick, I pray what i say here is of the Holy Spirit, and if not that He will replace with his own words, Here it goes:
You are in a place of higher learning with God, (university as opposed to elementary school). Every time the test come around for your next lesson, or promotion, you fail the test. because the dream is reoccuring, it means you keep failing the same test, and can’t move on until you pass it. Get in the secret place with Him and ask him and ask Him what it is you are not grasping and how to pass the test. God bless you

I forgot to add that this is a spiritual test, for example in trusting God, or being still, or in forgiveness. Its most likely an area He has told you He will work on with u. Seek him on the matter and I pray you pass the test.
