I know how that goes, and I have repetitive dreams with very similar themes: home alone (always someone else's house), and I have access to a drawer full of porn mags, or access to endless videos, etc....
I know how it is to wake up, and to feel so relieved it was just a dream. That's when you know progess is being made. Also, when you start resisting even in the dream, you know progress is being made.
Some dreams can have strong cue (trigger) to them, but mostly, they're just dreams we can easily ignore- as this will be the case for you soon.
