Do dreams always carry meanings?

Question

I had a dream the other night that a friend of mine lead me to the edge of a road, and suddenly we were like on a rooftop overlooking a huge city. There was a cold wind blowing, but the sight of the lights of the city were breathtaking. It was really cool, but kinda weird. Would anyone know what that could mean, if there is something behind it?

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.

Your dream imagery is about trusting a friend. You allow your friend to take you to a place where you can see a great deal. Whoever this friend is you must feel he or she can take you somewhere exciting and grand. Possibly you've been thinking recently, either consciously or unconsciously, about this friend about taking a chance and going somewhere or doing something that would give you an exciting perspective. So in sleep and dreaming you associated this image sequence.

Yes, weird...but you know, ALL dreams seem weird because the association isn't triggered by the continuity of real-world perceptions while awake. Does this help?

Dreams can sometimes have meanings, but sometimes they are just pointless. Dreams is the way our mind sorts out our thoughts that we have during the day, and some can have meaning, like you can dream certain things that are symbolic. Just do a google search on dream dictionaries and find out if there really is a meaning to your dream.

Dear,
Dreams are your suppressed desires. Not necessary that it carry any meanings. You thought about something in past (any time) or you have been desiring since long but doesn't get fulfill comes out in your subconscious mind in dream form. If you will sleep deep, dream won't come at all. Otherwise, your body is resting but other mind is still working and that you call dream.

Answer 7

Do you find yourself doing things with this friend that you normally wouldn't do? For example is this friend more likely to take chances than you? I think maybe you feel a little nervous hanging out with this person, but you also enjoy it. It's exciting for you. Just my opinion.
