Do the dreams really have meaning? What is the meaning of dreams that you meet someone who for a long time never seen? I had dream that I met someone who never seen for 5 years and I cried when I woke up. Three times I had dreamed this person and I always cry. Sometime I believe my dream because I had dream that showed my family would got trouble twice...and Its really happened. But the dreams about person that never seen for 5 years, I don't know what the meaning. I hope you can help me.

For me, dreams are only in the mind of each people. It depends on how you feel and how you think all the time. That is what psychology teach to my brother. My brother is studying a psychologist. It is all in the mind. Sometimes, it has meaning. It says, when you dream something that is bad, it means that it is good. The opposite of a bad dream is "good" in reality.

i have always been fascinated by the dreams i have too, and i think i would agree that they could only pose a meaning to how we feel at the time we have dreams. you see sometimes we just do not understand ourselves too well that our emotions even have to manifest themselves in our dreams.

I do think that some dreams have some kind of meaning. I don't think that they always necessarily have a meaning, but I think that, for the most part, they do have some kind of a meaning. We might not always be able to understand or know exactly what it means, but I think that it might make some sense to us, at one point or another.

Dreams are mostly emotional. Maybe you dream of that person because you think of him/her all the time. It maybe in your subconscious telling or reminding you that person. A nightmare may tell you something. It simply tells you to overcome your fears and to overdrive your feelings and emotions. Like if you are dreaming of a mysterious person chasing you over and over again in the same dream, confront that person in your dream and ask “who are you?” Wait for the reply. “I am your low self esteem”, says the character. Take charge in your dreams and see what happens. You are the master of your own dreams; you can dream whatever you want to! If you dream what really happens then try to dream the opposite of a bad dream. Think happy thoughts before you sleep. Controlling your dreams needs practice and mastery. Understand them more so that you can interpret them.

Research indicates that some dreams are a product of our daily activities, sensations and thoughts. Rather than attempt to interpret dreams for others, the tendency amongh some investigators today is to teach persons how to interpret their own dreams. Since each person is acquianted with his own experiences and problems, it is felt that he is in the best position to deduce the meaning of his dreams
