Friends, do you think that your dreams have meanings? Are you serious with dream interpretations? Are these dream interpretations consistent with your waking life?

Dreams have meanings, yes. But those "dream dictionaries" you can buy aren't very accurate. You can't just say "there was a car, so that means..."; you have to look at what the car was doing, who was driving, the situation, what your current real-life situation is and figure out how it all fits together to form something that makes sense. Basically, from what I understand, the symbolism in dreams depends on the person and their situation. It's often your subconscious working through things that are bothering you and it pretty much always means something helpful. The problem is finding a professional who can help you interpret them - and I'm talking about psychologists here, not mediums or other oogiewoogie magic-wiggly-fingers people. With a good interpreter (or knowledge) you can get some amazing insights out of the weirdest dreams. Personally, I think some are just completely fun or daft, too, but I don't know where psychologists stand on that. I believe they think EVERY dream is symbolic. I'd have to ask my lady.

I don't know. I dream every night, but I can't remember them on tomorrow morning With some people, dream can express their life. And I think this is really fear. I don't want this occur with me. So, I'm rarely interested in my dreams much.

I don't think dreams have meaning. They're products of our subconscious mind that it presents to us whenever we sleep. We should, however, value it since the subconscious mind is the higher state of mind compared to the conscious mind.

They say that the dream is what you think in the daytime .There is something in what they said.however I don't think the dream indicates something will happen.If so ,we may degenerate into idealism and superstition.

I think dreams have meaning, my mom takes water dreams as a warning that there will be tears ahead. I think it has meaning once you say it does. Once you believe it you will see it. So some i believe and others i think, what the heck was that?!?

I once heard from a tutor teacher that dreams are basically memories that you have experienced all pieced together. That's his interpretation of dreams but dreams can be quite random and quirky. For me, if there is a person such as a relative I haven't seen for a while. It just happens that I will meet them eventually during my waking life. Slightly eerie but that's just me. People have several different interpretations of what dreams may resemble and it's up to you on how you interpret them.

we still live the mysteries about dreams there are a hu dred sources of wht dreams means... but i dont believe in them. maybe some people believe when it happens, but i call that coincidense. we cant foresee the future and seeking a way to foresee that is like questioning the will of god.
