Many possibilities: There are many ideas about dreaming, but no one has an absolute answer. Some researchers feel there is no meaning whatsoever, and dreams represent only random neurological firing with the brain processing external stimuli. Some feel dreams rework concerns the dreamer has in daily life. Dreams are where we are least able to compensate consciously, and may show us areas of our lives needing care.
