Here is what I know about dreams. Your dreams are you talking to yourself in a non linear manner. Words are linear, but symbols are not. The symbols in your dreams are your own, although we all share some in common. That is why when we see a shape of a man or a woman on a door we know it is the bathroom and who needs to go in and who not. I suggest you keep a dream journal, write them down and you will begin to understand your own symbolic language and the message will come through. There is a story about a scientist who was struggling with trying to figure out the molecular structure of a particular element and one night had a dream of eight snakes in a ring each with a tail in it's mouth, the man woke up an realized that he had his answer. So listen to your dreams, and you might find an answer to something you have been pondering. By the way, here is how to tell if you are asleep dreaming or not....you can't read in your dreams.
