When I was younger there was a point in my life that I had a reoccuring dream for about 6-7 days in a row. It was weird but there had to be some reason it happened so many times in a row. I was on a beach but not a normal beach it was mud instead of sand and I was going to some old torn down house which appearntly a witch lived in to talk to her and the only way to get to her house was go around this huge tree on the edge of a small cliff and everytime i got to the tree the dream ended and I never made it to the house. Was there any meaning to that dream?

Sometimes, we thinjk/dream about something so strongly that it repeats to us as a means of showing its importance.
Witches are symbols of power and knowledge, sometimes secretive and arcane. One travels to a 'witch' to get an answer that one cannot get by normal means.
The 'big tree' sounds like an obstacle or 'test' metaphor. Like most 'quests', the querant (the one seeking to ask a question) must sometimes prove themselves first before they are allowed to receive an answer. It could also be that the tree was a symbol for what you wanted to talk to the witch about, so that if you could get past the tree, you wouldn't have the need to talk to the 'witch'.
Witches can also represent ideas of ourselves that we find both repellent (yuck, black magic, ugly, turning people into toads, whatnot) and attractive (wow, neat power, cool spells, can make people do things that others can't.) It could be that the reason you never made it to see the witch was that you couldn't get past the 'obstacle' of being repelled or repulsed by what she was. This is especially true if she represents some aspect of you that you may not like. Sure she has 'knowledge' about stuff, but at what price? If, deep down, you really don't want to pay the price, you really aren't going to want to meet up with her, thus an obstacle is set to test how much you desire to know.
The torn-down house could indicate either ruin or the past. The fact that she is living in someplace no longer there suggests that what is keeping her there may not be very nice. Thus, the fact that she is there is what gives her the 'power' you seek to talk to her about.
This interpretation is only a guess, given the details.

I can take a stab at it for you. Sounds like a college dream to me. Maybe the right answers were so difficult to acquire yet you had to answer them all? The old woman was either the oracle or a professor? Don't let anyone tell you what your dreams mean though. You are the Dreamer and they belong to You. Emotions, vivid scenes, and reoccurrence all matter.
If the shoe fits...............find another one just like it!! @8-)

No one can tell you the meaning as only you know enough about your life to connect your dream to something that happened. Or, it simply doesn't have a meaning. Movies can bring up weird dreams also.
