Dreams are the brain's way of rehashing experiences, emotions, sights, sounds, and feelings. Think of your brain as a central processing unit (CPU) that doesn't make the judgements or determine what is and what isn't, it just sends signals to parts of the body and stores information. It is your soul, the person within you, who roams around in your dreams seeing images and experiencing feelings based on situations in your dreams. The brain processes thousands of images a day, many with no attached marker for a memory. The images just get stored, maybe they are attached to an emotion but not a visual sequence - you know, like feeling a certain emotion every time you hear a certain song or smell a certain smell. The brain then reuses those images and emotions in dreams as it retells the story in it's own way. You the person experiencing the dream can either accept or reject it.
Some dreams can be prophetic, but most dreams have to do with the immediate present or near past. Sometimes an experience today triggers an emotion experienced years ago, and the person will dream of being a little kid again while currently feeling that emotion. Many dreams have a lot to do with daily confusion, or stress, or having to make lots of decisions.
But most dreams are very personal to the person who dreams them. Share them if you can, write down odd ones and try to figure out what they mean. Sometimes the answers do come in a dream, sometimes, well, it's just a dream.
What ever dreams may come...

Dreams are still a HUGE mystery to the world. Though, a widely accepted theory is that dreams are your subconscious telling you things! CRAZY ****!
Note, anyone and anything in a dream is a representation of you! This said, those things can be something you like or dislike in the person. You have to think hard.
Its very hard to explain and I know very little but I hope I got you started. Your dreams are whatever you want them to be!

If you mean why we dream, it's a coping measure. One time a scientific study was conducted where victims, excuse me, subjects, were awoken each time they started to go into REM sleep (the time when we dream). They had to stop the experiment early because subjects started to show signs of mental illness. It's how the mind makes sense of what has happened throughout the day, or at least escapes it.
If you mean what different dreams mean, we've been trying to figure that out since before the ancient Egyptians, who even had complex books to determine what objects in a dream meant what.

It depends on what you dream. All dreams are unique and mean different things.
