I used to have ~ similar dreams, often. They were very disturbing - I felt a kind of claustrophobia from being in a very narrow twisting staircase that lead to a very small tight fitting doorway that lead somewhere else that I needed/wanted/had to be. There was barely room to turn around to get down. And I had great difficulty going forward. I can still almost picture the space.
I used to think that it was a real memory of one of the many farm houses we lived in as children, and I would try to figure out which house had this tiny staircase....
This dream always gave me a sense of panic, and I always woke up feeling very afraid. I don't remember ever resolving the state I found myself in in my dream.
It happened often in the past, but I can't connect it to anything in particular. Thankfully, since I am not aware of dreaming it recently, maybe I have found the right passageway. ??? Time will tell, I suppose.

It it feels right, then it is.
