Do you believe that dreams say anything about you... like what you should do or who you should be with?

Dreams say a whole lot about you, and a lot about your unconscious emotions and desires. But they're not something to base a decision on, like what you "should" do. Dreams reflect the raw, unchecked emotional state of your subconscious. Moral decisions, or decisions regarding what "should" be done, have to be made in the conscious mind.

I believe so. Some of my dreams lately have been about my anxieties that I didn't even know I had. I have dreamed twice about my wife being with another man. I guess I was worried about going back to school full time and working full time which means my wife and I won't see much of each other except weekends. I did not even think that I felt this way, but in one dream the feelings were so real, that it stayed with me through part of the morning. How's that for dreams and how you feel deep down?

Most dreams are about either what is going on in your head that day, what you were thinking about when you went to sleep that night, or something along those lines. Also, I've found that people I know end up in my dreams regardless of whether I want to be with them or not.
Also, there are just those bizarre dreams I just can't figure out. I think a lot of dreams may have spiritual signficance or relate to things that are bubbling up from your subconcious mind. I don't think dreams talk about what you should or shouldn't do, but they are very much tied into what you are doing or are considering doing.

i think the ones with clear narrratives are rich in meaning and communaction worth attention. And the more scattered jumpy dream pictures are flash backs from life, farts gas whatever you want to call them. Dreams are so awesome. Good question.
if you live a life that you have design, created, chosen, that YOU have written for yourself, like an author, like someone who has an actual say in how things go and what happens .... then there is no should. What do you want to do girl? What kind of relationship would you like to have?

I think that reoccurring dreams are the dreams that you should focus on. If it was just a one time dream then those cannot be trusted because they could be the result of something you saw or a story a friend told you. But a reoccurring dream usually means there is something in your subconscious that's really bothering.

If something is constantly on my mind or bothering me, i usually dream about it... i dont think that you should rely on your dreams to make decisions... unless of course, the decision was made in the dream and it worked... but dont make serious decisions based on dreams.
Also if u want to be with someone, then you should try to get to know them and not rely on dreams because sometimes you dream what you want to dream which may not usually be reliable or even reasonable.

I think that they can reveal subconscious fears and desires, but at the same time they need to be looked at objectively in the light of day. Anything revealed in them needs to be approached in a reasonable manner. Dreams are not fully understood but they are important to brain function. Sometimes it is simply jumbled nonsense images and feelings that the brain is sorting and storing. Other times they can offer insight but not necessarily the right direction to take.

hell no. That is the reason you have the ability to reason. To arrange these matters on your own. Even scientifically speaking -the psychoanalytic approach to psychology proposed by- Freud, only argued that dreams have a symbolic meaning that may help the dreamer to resolve some inner unconscious conflicts.

Dreams sometimes reveal what is hidden in our subconscience and so, yes sometimes dreams do send us a message...just keep in mind to make a rational decision.

I think to a certain extent they do. because dreams are there to help people when they are confused. you know if you think of some one or something for a long time sooner or later you will have a dream about it. and then you can listen or not listen to it.
