Answer 2

That's kinda like asking how much of what a person says is 'truth'? It depends upon the person and what they are saying/dreaming.

Dreams, for the most part, act as a place to mentally sort through the day's activities and emotions. However, because our minds are also the repository of our collective days, we can have a dream on, or near, the anniversary of an incident because the emotions of that day have not yet been 'dealt' with. This is because when an incident/emotion is not fully comprehended and/or experienced, the mind stores that 'emotion' until either the 'same' day comes back around on the calendar or until our minds see a 'break' in a day's sort.

Not every day we live requires the same emotional 'sort'. So, on those days where our lives were pretty straight-forward, our minds will sometimes reach into the bin of 'unresolved' emotions and create a dream sequence out of that, since it feels we have the 'free time' available now to deal with it.

As for dreams being 'true', the truth is mostly dependant upon emotional variables; how did we feel, what did we feel, how do our emotions affect the way we think and see, which in turn affect the way we understand what is true? These are the 'truths' that dreams attempt to get at. In some way they are historical, but only to the extent that what we felt on such-and-such a day was 'true' for that day.

Answer 3

To understand a dream, it’s helpful to keep in mind why and how we dream. When we sleep, the body and perception systems are shut down, but the brain remains active. The brain thinks about what has recently been most active during waking hours—experiences, thoughts and feelings accessed recently whether consciously or not. The brain is still active, so it works on this content, but not in a familiar, rational way. During sleep, this material is not related using input from the external real world, but rather by the brain connections already established in the cortex. So the story connectedness isn’t like everyday experience, but rather a strange, circuitous flow from one image to the next. So dreams aren’t magical messages to guide our life, but dream imagery is taken from everyday experiences, thoughts and feelings that matter most to us during our waking life. So it’s a mistake to apply standard symbol definitions, such as Freudian meanings or standard “dreammoods” symbols. All you need to do is think about what kind of imagery it is and how it relates to your daily life.
