Do dreams mean something? Seriously, I dream every single night!

Asked by dopeguru (1928points) September 17th, 2017

I dream very often and I recall the dream when I wake for a few minutes. I have very clear dreams, and I almost always (as of late) see myself in high school, with oddities, in a town I created. I even have an apartment I know the rooms of.

I’m starting to think all this must mean something. I started to base value on my dreams and actually enjoy the life I have there. It’s very intense and it’s not as dull as reality.

Like I just dreamt that a black pig hog was at a party and tried attacking everybody, it went savage. And I looked it up:

Dream About Black Pigs
Black pig may be analogous to a relationship or a man in your life. You think that the pig will be a certain way, but the man or relationship might turn out to be totally unexpected.

This is exactly what I’ve been thinking of for the past week.

No. It just means that your brain is still working.

And dreams are more exciting because human is naturally drawn to anything interesting.

Carl Jung was a big advocate that dreams mean something. They tend to indicate something your mind is working through. There are a number of books out on interpreting dreams, but I would stick to something more scientific than Madam Vesant Interprets Dreams (no that isn’t an actual book. I don’t think).
I would keep a notebook next to the bed and when you first wake up, write down your dreams, before they start to fade too much.

Dreams are simply your brain defragging itself. They mean nothing.

Whatever you choose a dream to mean, that’s what it means. Others can speculate, but only you can suss out a meaning… or be satisfied that it has no meaning.

Most importantly, how a dream makes you feel (sad, happy, wiser about yourself) is more important than what the dream depicts.

No, dreams have no inherent meaning.

Dreams are produced in the mind as the subconscious sorts out the things it wants to remember. To understand what they mean you have to read between the lines, see the overall picture without focusing on one particular thing.

I dreamed last night that a zombie apocalypse hit and we had to raid a pharmacy to get drugs. The pharmacy was guarded by evildoers so we had to fight them for their stash. My backpack ripped and so I called the backpack maker and he came and examined it. He said that it was still under warranty but couldn’t fix it right now because of the aforementioned zombie apocalypse. Surely that means something.

It means you believe in zombies and that you have a drug problem that keeps you searching for new resources.
