What does it mean when i have a recurring setting in my dream?

whats weirder is i recognize some of the things i see but not all and the dream is always different. ether im walking through this place with a friend-ish person or i cant find someone in the crowds. whenever i have these dreams its like i can see a map but not, and know where i am and where i need to go.the setting im in is a little strange. its almost always crowded like a busy street but its not crowded with new york business men its crowded by literally every type of person every building i pass is only 2 or 3 story's tall and is always a shop. when i go inside of these shops or look in a window its crowded to. it sells little do dads like a little metal elephant with gears in side. its always past mid day when it begins to turn orange. in the streets of the main street there are stalls but its really hectic like a parade is going threw the middle of it all. the stalls are made of some sort of white sheet. i never look into the stalls for some reason im always about to when i get distracted. i kind of like these dreams i never feel scared. but then again i almost never dream and that may be why i like these dreams. if anyone can help me make since of it all that would be greatly appreciated. i just remembered something. there is one shop that is different from the others. its made of a dark brick unlike the others and is 4 or 5 story's tall and it sells books. iv never been in it but i know there is a creepy old man that runs the shop in overalls and kinda hunched over. again thank you for your help:)
