Semi lucid repeated dreams?

Okay so ever since I was a child I've been dreaming and alot of the time I remember very vividly what my dream or dreams were. Sometimes in my dreams I'll know I'm dreaming and such as is with lucid dreams except I am very limited in the control I have. I'll know I'm dreaming and then I'll do what I want with the dream. I'm not necessarily controlling what the background is or the people in it but I can control myself to an extent. There are sometimes points in my dream where I fight for control and it's very stress ful and I wake up in cold sweats. But other than that most of my lucid dreams are repeated dreams. Same dream slightly altered colors or background and most of the time different people depending on what my life is at that point. I will go through the dream the same. Again slightly different stuff so let's see. I have this dream where I'm in an endless store the store is mapped out the same in some places but the further I run towards the back the further the store goes and it's all different floor plans or just an endless hallway. There also different stuff but I always pick out the same items. Then the dream will switch to me leaving the store and having a street scene and a stressful puzzle scene with a partner and then another person u don't trust or worry about controlling the puzzle or dialouging shit. It doesn't sound exactly how I saw it since our brains are different and I'm bad at explaining. But I've had this dream several times for as long as I can remember. And then there's like dreams where it's the exact same and I'm like trapped in a glass box spectating and it ends tragically. All the same except the places and the people. They all die the same too. It's fuckin nuts and I wish I knew what it all was about. I wish I had more control over the lucid parts of my dreams and I wish the repeated ones were less stressful. Is this normal at all?
