Psychologists have often made too much of the meaning of dreams. If you want to interpret your dreams, it's best to keep in mind what dreams are. When sleeping, the unconscious mind does not cease all activity. External perception is not immediately fed to the thinking part of the brain, but images and feelings are associated based on which ones have been recently active. They associate according to the synaptic connections that already exist, instead of based on perception of the real world. That's why there seems to be a flow or story, but in an unreal way.

If you want to know what a dream meant, think about the basic emotions that were at play in a given dream. For example, if you are chased by a terrifying unknown entity, you probably feel insecure or threatened in some way, even if not physically. You may feel that powerful unknown forces can cause disaster in your life.

It has always seemed - for me, as someone who doesn't generally have a lot of "issues" I haven't deal with - that my dreams are a meaningless dumping out of things I've seen and heard over the last few days. Since dreaming has to occur, regardless of whether we have unresolved issues, I've always assumed that if we have no big issues to deal with our minds just jumble up what we've seen in recent days and use those images in dreams.

At times in my life when I've had serious grief to deal with, I found that dreams dealt with the layers of unresolved issues over a period of time. In the beginning the dreams would be pretty obvious and would be about the most obvious "issue" on the surface. Over time, the dreams would deal with "the next layer down" issue, as if over a period of times dreams were peeling off the layers of all the "underneath" issues. Toward the end of the process the dreams got more difficult to decipher, and I realize they had gone beyond dealing with "issues" and more into dealing with feelings that were pretty buried.

From my own experience, I tend to think some dreams are nothing more than a dumping back of what you've seen/heard in recent days (because maybe you don't really have any issues to be dealt with and the brain needs to come up with some images and actions). (Maybe - if these dreams are dealing with "issues" those issues are so minor they wouldn't even be considered "issues". For example, if you saw a big dog and thought, "Oh - I'd hate that dog to come after me" you could have a minor uncomfortable thought that your dream would process but that wouldn't be all that significant.

If you have big issues (serious loss, grief) the dreams can be so different from your usual, seemingly meaningless dreams, it can be obvious they were about the serious issues, and thinking about them can usually make you see what they were about.

In dealing with dreams, if we remember that there is what we do in our waking life, what our heads do on their own, and what our emotions do; that pretty much - as far as I'm concerned - tells you the range of what dreams could be dealing with.

,Hi, many dreams have great meaning depending what is going on in your life. If it is a vivid dream it is usually an answer to a problem or something you have been worried about or a loved one who has died trying to come into your dreams and let you know they live on. If it is a mixed up dream then our sub conscious will kick out all the rubbish, it does not need to retain it.
If you fill a cup up it will overflow when full,get me drift. There are many things going on in our lifes and most of it is rubish anyway,we dont need it.

Your dream means that there will be seven years of plenty, followed by seven years of famine throughout the land of Egypt.
Oh, sorry! That wasmy friend Joseph!
But, whatever you dreamt, the above is as good an explanation as you will get.

Answer 7

its a release of information (- sights/sounds smells/feelings) your brain has collected over the past day, week whatever.
they are also a tool for people to learn about themselves - bringing the unconscious to the surface.
However some people choose to ignore these facts which can be buried but will more than likely affect them in some shape or form - whether its recurrent dreams or a more conscious way - you name it, drinking, obsessive/compulsive behaviour or perfectionism are only just a few examples.

Answer 8

Dreams don't mean anything. I checked if all those crap they tell in websites are true, and they aren't (as in this means confidence, that means fear). And as in anything else, they definitely don't predict the future.
