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.

dreams some times have a hidden meaning to them it is a way that your sub conscience is telling you that you left something unfinished. be careful when you ask people about those dreams cause they can go either way. In the tragedy of Julius Caesar written by Shakespeare Caesar's wife dreams that Julius would be killed and people would bathe in his blood but one of his conspirators easily made it seem that it was not a premonition of Caesars death but a premonition of Caesar bring prosperity to Rome
