The Meaning of Dreams
Ancient cultures believed that dreams were spiritual in origin, often foretelling the future. Aristotle believed that dreams originated from within the dreamer, arising from the heart. Modern dream research has focused on two general interpretations of dream content. In one view, dreams have no inherent meaning but are simply a process by which the brain integrates new information into memories. In the other view, dreams contain real meaning symbolized in a picture language that is distinct from conscious logical thought.
The recounting of dreams has been used widely as part of clinical treatment. If dreams express important wishes, fears, concerns, and worries of the dreamer, the study and analysis of dreams can help reveal previously unknown aspects of a person's mental functioning.

A dream is the experience of envisioned images, sounds, or other sensations during sleep. The events of dreams are often impossible or unlikely to occur in physical reality, and are usually outside the control of the dreamer.

actually your mind is designed to erase your dreams, the only time you remember your dreams is if you are not sleeping well and wake up in middle, you ever notice upon waking, you remember your dream more vividly, (sometimes), than a few hours or days later? the mind does not shut off when you sleep (or you'd die LOL), it is merely idling on in uselessness while you are asleep (at least the higher level thinking imagination), but the other parts of your brain are on high alert watching your vital signs and sympathetic nervous system.

Dreams are not foretelling the future. They are just manifestations of what is most on your mind at the time.
