      I don’t think that you will get a vision of the future or anything like that but I do think dreams can tell you about yourself. Also, they can reveal thoughts and ideas and worries you have somewhere deep in your mind. Some thoughts come out in dreams! I have had a few instances where I was working on some problem at work but didn’t solve it. Then I went to sleep and the next day I knew the answer! Even though I didn’t realise it my brain must have been thinking about it while I was dreaming! 😀

      Like Evan I don’t think dreams tell you about your future. But when you are alseep your brain is processing all the things on your mind and these things can appear in your dreams. If you are worried about something it’s possible that your mind is processing all the possible outcomes and that one of those things could happen.

      I once was spending a lot of time looking at atomic protein structures and at night I dreamt that the protein structure was a rollercoaster and I was riding along my structure – it was great fun. And was my brains way of processing my days work 🙂

      Some people believe that dreams have lots of strange meanings… I’m not so sure!

      Personally, I almost never have dreams or, at least, I can’t remember them!
