How to get from Repeater Item to actual parent?

[dreerr]

This is embarrassing , but I can't seem to find the answer:
I'm quering Repeater Items like 

$all_date_entries = $pages->find("template=repeater_dates,include=all")

when looping over the results I want to get to the page they were created. `$item->parent` is not the right result here. How do I query the originating page?

You might be looking for getForPage(), but you might be better off with subselectors: https://processwire.com/api/selectors/#sub-selectors

There are some examples in there about finding main pages based on the content of repeater fields on those pages.
