Do you think dreams have special meanings?
I’m not sure. Sometimes they seem to mean something, like when a dream reflects how I feel. But other times I think they’re just random and don’t have special meaning. I guess it depends.
I think it depends. Some dreams seem to reflect our feelings or unresolved issues, so they can have a sort of personal meaning. On the other hand, science suggests dreams can be the brain sorting memories, so they’re not always symbolic. Personally I’d be cautious about reading too much into every dream, but if one keeps recurring it’s probably worth paying attention to.
