In my case, I have frequently returned to the following places for a very long time, though they do not resemble any places I've been to in real life:

- a dilapidated Victorian mansion that is haunted (in some dreams I am actively haunted - either by visual apparitions or purely poltergeist-like activity, or both), but sometimes when I'm there there is no active haunting, though I am aware that it is haunted. Whenever I return here in dreams, sometimes I'm alone, sometimes there are family members with me, sometimes purely fictional "dream people" who I know in the dream but have never seen in real life. Not every visit feels "scary", in fact some visits feel comforting. Every time I'm there I'm in a different room/wing, but I remember other visits in which I toured other areas of the house, but can't remember how to get there. Whenever I'm there, it's in an exploratory sense; even the scary dreams, I know I'm there to explore, not trying to run away (in fact they often end with me steeling myself against fear/dread in an effort to penetrate a wing that I haven't been to yet). And sometimes when I'm there with other people, we are actively trying to refurbish the house and catalog its objects, kind of like how we would do if we were trying to "flip" a house for the purpose of selling it. There is the sense in these dreams that the house was an inheritance of some kind from a long-dead relative, and we're trying to get it ready to sell. (Also, anyone who is with me in the dream also remembers being there before, and they all acknowledge/remember that is haunted.)

- A forest glade in what appears to be late spring/early summer, very green and vibrant, sunny, lots of flowers, usually a small pond or stream. I am always here alone, there is never anyone else with me, and all I'm doing is relaxing or walking through.

- A European-feeling metropolis, complete with an "old town" district with medieval buildings/castle, but surrounded by newer-built skyscrapers, normal bustling city activity, etc. It doesn't resemble any city I've actually been to or seen, and when I'm there I'm usually alone, playing the part of tourist - obviously I'm not from there and am visiting, taking in the sights, sometimes getting lost but never feeling afraid.

During the dreams, it's never quite "lucid" in the fact that while I'm there I am not aware that I am actually dreaming, though I do remember IN the dream having been there before. (In fact, I am a terrible lucid dreamer; very, very rarely am I ever aware that it is not real, regardless of how surreal/impossible they are.)

One of the strangest and most meaningful-feeling dreams I’ve ever had, I also woke up when something unexpected happened involving a person above me on a staircase, except for me the person on the stairs was someone I knew in real life. I told him about it afterward, and he said that he had a dream where he was standing on a hillside looking down on a city like the one I described being in. This was a person I didn’t really know all that well, just in slightly overlapping social circles, but one of those people that you can tell just by looking in their eyes that they ‘get it’ — at least more than average, I mean. Unless you’re lucky enough to be constantly surrounded by positive, creative, conscious people.
So yes, I think this could very well be a representation of someone you already have a strong connection to, and she wants to help you not be afraid of new and unusual perceptions. Not necessarily someone you have or will know in that body in the real world, I don’t know. Maybe if it happens again you can try acting like you just noticed a deer or a bird or something that you want to watch without startling into movement... I dunno, hope this helps!
