I started this discussion 'cause I have a dream about my ex-boyfriend. I haven't think of him really, well, I don't know maybe subconsciously I do and I started to wonder again if dreams have meanings or should we just believe in what Science says about it.
How about you? Are you the type of person that bothers when you dreamed of something and you think there's something behind it? that it's telling you something or you just ignore your dreams? Share to me your thoughts.

they have meanings bec. we give meaning to them. they are products of our minds..we dream about something maybe bec. consciously or unconsciously we think about it or long for it...

you are right that we do give meaning to them a lot and in a perticuler way only we see dreams

Yeah, I guess, 'cause I think if we can't get it out of our head, we'll just end up thinking and thinking about it, a complete waste of time. It shouldn't suppose to bother us unless it was really a very bad dream. I haven't had one in a long time fortunately.

i think dreaming about your ex is a very normal thing because a part of him already grown in you (or maybe still growing in you?). so if you want to say that the dreams have meaning behind it, i think it simply means you are still thinking of him (maybe subconsciously as you said).
for me, i will not be bothered about my dreams because there are too many normal things & random things & even nonsense in my dreams. however for some particular cases, the dreams that i have ignored will turn out to be true & happens one day, & i just realized that i have dreamt about it before.

I dream every night and it really drive me crazy because it makes me feel so tired in the morning. I hate dream. Sometimes i even dream some very stange things. Like last night, i dreamt that a little pig just bit me without reason and it really hurt and it made me awake. Terrible. I don't know what is this dream suggest. Maybe the little cute just telling not eat animal's meat, right? ^_^. Oh, dream. I think we should not pay more attention to our dream because few of them is shows what's in your mind or we will feel so confused just like the moment i waked by the dream last night. But i don't think it's worth my confusing, it's just a dream, a phenomena.

I believe dreams have meanings but whether it is our subconscious trying to tell us something or something more divine I do not know.

yes, i think dreams have meaning. it is a product of our unconscious mind.
maybe, try to evaluate your self, why you have dream of your ex.

Most dreams have meanings some would be about something your subconscious trying to tell you and others would be about things that would happen, i once dreamed that my friend told me something in high school, and the following day she did. My sisters are freaky they always dream about who's gonna die or get hurt and it always happen. freaky.
