Do u believe that there are meanings to our dreams, or that dreaming just happens? sometimes i think that our dreams are our subconscious thoughts working themselves out, then other time i feel like they just happen. what do u think??

some dreams have, others are just a " mess" we dream all the thoughts we have in our head through eachother.

Dreams are important at least for me. dreams are very pleasant and beautiful. It is true that they are really in our subconscious. seemed to feel that our dreams are dreams. sometimes we like them experience. nice day!

I don't believe dreams have any prophetic, subconscious, or symbolic meaning. I'm no expert in the human mind, but I've been really interested in dreams my entire life and I've read loads of books on the subject. And the more you read on the subject of dreams, the more you realize even the solid science is still fuzzy. Dreams are probably the most widely experienced total mystery. No one really knows why we dream, though there are a number of popular theories. I tend to subscribe to the one that says dreams are just the mind attempting to make sense out of random nerve firings in the brain, though I don't think it's a complete theory.

I think that dreams definitely show us what we care or worry about the most. What is on our minds the most, and what emotions have the strongest impact on our minds. And of course examples of this are say waking up and missing a test for class, or having a car wreck. I have the car wreck a lot, but I have never had one serious wreck or traffic ticket. Mostly I dream of action. Something that get's my adrenaline going, or money, or I might have a movie-like dream of past events or things that I want to do, or places that i want to go see in life.

I believe dreams got meaning. I know that if I dream about baby, dirty or dark water I could expect problems next day. If I dream about warms or soil I can expect money. If I dream about cat it means that I will meet bad person. If I dream about dog it means that my home will be safe. And it always come true. I don't know if other people think the same as me.

Most of the times the dream which I see doesn't have any sense. Most of the time I used to have something incidents related to family, which sheds tears from our tears. Sometimes I sued to see dreams about accidents while driving bike. Now a days I am very careful while driving. Do you think that the dreams we see during sleep comes to reality ?

I do think that some dreams do have a meaning, while others don't necessarily mean anything. I think that it depends on the dream in question, in my opinion.
