Usually dreams can be connected with something that you thought about that day.  Maybe you went to McDonald's that day?  Then later on seen something that made you think of Meredith.  Your unconcious mind tries to make sense of it all so it puts it in a dream form.

Read some books about lucid dreaming.  If you can become aware that you're dreaming as you're dreaming, you can design your pwn dream experience.  It's wonderful.  I used to have nightmares of drowning in huge, turbulent bodies of water.  The last dream I had like that, I was in a body of water behind a dam and I was about to be swept over.  I just decided that there would be a walkway extending out to where I was, and one appeared.  I climbed up on it and walked to shore.  I've never had a dream like that since.  Lucid dreaming is like creating your own universe.  You should look into it!

Dreams are a reflection of your thoughts and feelings. They give an insight into your passions, desires and fears on a sub-consciuos level. Dreams are very significant, they tell you a lot, but you must know how to distinguish the pathetic ones from the 'real' ones.

Dreams are a mix of things that have happenned to u along with fears.  They all kinda blend together and make up some weird old dreams don't they?  Ive heard if u dream about your teeth falling out- it means u feel like u have no control over whats going on in your life.  I just think its a weird mix of past and present things going on in your life!  Does that really mean Ive been to the Bahamas naked on a beach with Toby Keith?  GOD I WISH!  lol

It is real in the sense that many people have had experiences that fit the description of what one would imagine astral projection to be like.  On the other hand, coming from a person who has had this sort of experience, I have no way of knowing whether it was a hallucination/dream or whether I actually experienced awareness outside of my body.\n\nA more important question would perhaps be, is your everyday experience real?  What do we mean when we say "real"?

Yes.  I have dreams that I think are real until someone tells me it never happened.  And sometimes I think I'm dreaming when I'm not.

Usually dreams are an extension of what you are really feeling.  So maybe you should or make sure that it is something that you want to do.  Think about it for awhile.

it means you gt woke up. Dreams mean nothing except what your mind is thinking when you are asleep. \nI dreamt i had sex with a neighbor last night. What does that mean? Nothing! We are both married!

Because they are something you fear will happen..or is your conscience trying to tell you something. Dreams are issues you have that have not resolved or things you worry about, or fantasize about but don't have the guts to face or do in real life.

Sometimes i wish it was.\n\nYou ever have that feeling like you want to wake up?\nLike things aren't quite real or perhaps it's that they're TOO real.\nAnd waking up would be a fresh start...\n\nI always think about that... ever since i was a child.

a dream is a dream... it is how you feel when awake that counts....... so if there are NO feelings just leave it alone, don't over analyse it and do not think about it.... it will soon go away...... the more you focus on it the longer it will take to go away........ God bless

Lucid dreaming is the conscious perception of one's state while dreaming, resulting in a much clearer ("lucid") experience and usually enabling direct control over the content of the dream. The complete experience from start to finish is called a lucid dream. Stephen LaBerge, a popular author and experimenter on the subject, has defined it as "dreaming while knowing that you are dreaming." \n\nThere are many unanswered questions about lucid dreaming, and about dreaming itself. LaBerge and his associates have called people who purposely explore the possibilities of lucid dreaming oneironauts (literally from the Greek meaning "dream explorers"). The topic attracts the attention of a diverse and eclectic group, namely psychologists, self-help authors, New Age groups, mystics, occultists, and artists. This list is by no means exhaustive nor does interest in lucid dreaming apply necessarily to each group. Clear and consistent knowledge about lucid dreaming is difficult to find amongst the many interpretations of the experience, especially considering its highly subjective nature. It may be classified as a protoscience, pending an increase in scientific knowledge about the subject. Researchers such as Allan Hobson with his neurophysiological approach to dreaming have helped to push the understanding of lucid dreaming into a less speculative realm.\n\nLucid dreamers regularly describe their dreams as exciting, colourful, and fantastic. Many compare it to a spiritual experience and say that it changed their lives or their perception of the world. Some have even reported lucid dreams that take on a hyperreality, seemingly "more real than real", where all the elements of reality are amplified. Lucid dreams are prodigiously more memorable than other kinds of dreaming, even nightmares, which may be why they are often prescribed as a means of ridding one's self of troubling dreams.\n\nThere is a substantial cottage industry based around the technique of lucid dreaming, with an array of induction devices (usually based around flickering light arrays) commercially available to allegedly allow induction of lucid dreams. Their proponents also sometimes claim that these devices help achieve a higher level of spiritual consciousness, and associate it with other New Age concepts such as astral travel or dream sharing. Some proponents of the technique claim they can use symbolic methods to research, program, and modify their nervous system itself. Memory management, creative solution generation, accelerated healing, autoinduced priapism, and ecstatic envelopment of one's body are among the various claimed techniques[citation needed]. Regardless of these claims' validity, lucid dreaming as a scientifically verified phenomenon is well-established.
