I have had this dream occur for me a few times per year since childhood (about 8yo). The dream starts in the spirit world, which looks like a giant cavern filled with cobwebs. After hanging about on the rockcliffs for a while, I find myself making the move to be in the land of the living, which is hostile and unpleasant and fraught with meat grinders mincing people up. It is a battle to survive, and I work really hard to do so. But at the same time it is my goal to get back to the spirit world. In the dream I feel like it is easy to leave the spirit cavern, but really hard to get back there despite all the danger that exists in the living world.
