Yes and no.\n\nMost the time when we dream the mind is taking our thoughts, memories, and informtion our minds have gathered... and working them out some. Tring to make sence of it all.\n\nAlso things going on in your life that are out of the ordinary will usaly have an impact on your dreams as you mind tries to cope with it in your sleep.....  If your having a realy realy stressfull day, then that night your mind will try and work some of that stress off through dreams.\n\nThis is VERY imporant for the mind, it's a proven fact that if deprived of dreams some one will lose there sanity. While most people only remember a hand full of there dreams, or none at all, the mind NEEDS them to make sence of things and work things out!\n\n\n.... Then some times dreams are bit more than that, but thats not very offten.

Dreams are the same for adults and children.  They teach us things, give us insight, help us work through problems, bring fears to the surface.  They are very beneficial-although not always pleasant to have.

Dreams are usually manifestations of what you were thinking while awake. They can mean just about whatever you want them to mean.

Yes,I think dreams have hidden meanings and some not so hidden. In your case he was probably thinking of you too,and sent you that vibe.

Not necessarily. You tend to dream of anything that has been on your mind through out the day. If you think about a guy you dream of him even if he is not interested in your shadow. It just shows that you like him, but who knows, he might by chance be the one.

My thoughts on this, however crazy they may be, are as follows:\n\nWe only use a fraction of our brains for everyday thinking. Science has proved this. So what is the rest of it being used for? We have a vast subconscious mind that is capable of processing more information than the worlds largest supercomputer! Therefore, since our dreams come from our subconscious minds (way deep down in the back) they are far more capable of being truthful than our everyday thoughts. I think deep down, we all know the entire history of the universe but our brains are wired for everyday ignorance so that we can function properly and not compete with God.\n\nI know, it's crazy but that's how I explain it...

It depends some dreams just seem to be thoughts in ones subconscious, but then other dreams are able to give you a glimpse of the future. There is of course ways to enter a different dimension or a "timeless" state called "astral travelling", but this is not like any dream, it is a process of separating the "astral body" (or soul) from the physical body. In most cases this happens to people that have near death experiences and people that are in comas. It does sometimes happen to people while sleeping (some times you don't remember it happening).\n\n "Astral projection" is the process of meditation that causes you to experience this phenomena at own will. Here is a link with some information on this:\n\nhttp://www.astralweb.com/phps/topics_whatis.php

People like to think that dreams are more than what they actually are... but the truth is... is that dreams are an occurrence when the brain seeks organization. what I mean by this is... while your dreaming... your brain is organizing itself like a file cabinet, that arranges things in alphabetical order. It's a natural phenomenon that takes place and is necessary for restoration during the sleeping faze. Dreams are bits-es and pieces of fragmented episodes that are pieced together in an unordered fashion... and the reason for this is.... is that our brains are in an unordered state.... so the dreams is like meditation for the mind when it needs to be organized the most. So... people will profit from dreams because dreams help place things in order.

Dreams are the language that our Higher Self communicates to us about what is going on with ourselves. They are in the language of symbols which do have meaning.\n\nThey tell us more about who we are, why we do certain things, give us the bigger picture, give us guidiance and solutions to problems. They can also involve spiritual guidiance from Masters, Saints, or even God.\n\nOur society does not place importance on dreams because we do not live in a spiritual world. We live in a world where there is importance placed on our physical bodies and materialism. But we are much more than our physical bodies. We are spiritual beings residing in a body.\n\nSo to learn how to understand the symbology of dreams takes time, but it is doable. I have been writing my dreams for over five years and intepreting them with this best dream dictionary "The Dream Book: Symbols for Self Understanding" by Betty Bethards.\n\nSince I've been doing this, I have received amazing insight into myself on this journey. It's remarkable, and I love the fact that I am always receiving communciation about what is going on with myself and to help me understand where I am going in life. I've even received foreshadowings of things that are going to happen in my life.\n\nThe symbolism gets easier to understand once you understand the basis of this language.\n\nI write about my dreams and explain their meanings on my 360 blog. Here's one example:\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-O50H77Iib6fVzcbXCb1eO_cIAk0-?cq=1&l=6&u=10&mx=111&lmt=5&p=433\n\nAnd another to give you an idea of how dreams are interpreted:\nhttp://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-O50H77Iib6fVzcbXCb1eO_cIAk0-?cq=1&l=61&u=65&mx=111&lmt=5&p=177\n\nHope that helps!

I will not change my plans based on a dream, but I may change some of my long term habits. I do think that dreams can be useful, and we can learn so much by paying attention to them.  I don't think we get messages from other people or spirits in our dreams, but I do believe it is our brain's way of working things out and pointing some things out that we may have over looked. I kept having a dream where my college professor became ill and asked me to take over the class. I would always say yes in the dream but I became all stressed because I did not know anything about the subject matter.  After keeping track of this for a while, I discovered it was my job that was stressing me out because people kept piling stuff on top of me.  I finally started to tell people that I was at my limit and could not do anymore. We hired another person, and the dreams stopped after that.

"They" say dreaming is a way your brain works things out subconsciously.  If I'm really in a quandry about something and it is stressing me out, I find that I'll either dream about it or dream about something else that gives that same feeling.  Either way, its like a computer defragments I think, getting things orderly.

Some dreams are not relevant\n\nSome dreams are from related to ur past which is there in ur consious mind or unconsious mind.\n\nSome dreams are from strong thoughts which may not have any relation to the past but later in a stage of ur life u may see ur dream coming into reality atleast to some extent or sometimes even very precisely.
