IMO.
I don't think that dreams have any real meaning, like these books on dreams have us believe. i'm always dreaming about aeroplane crashes, that are either into a river or in a field next to it, but it doesn't mean i've predicted a crash it's probbly due to the fact that i live next to a river near a airport under a flight path, i see the river everyday and hear the planes whilst i'm asleep. You may see something during the time you're awake e.g a t.v programe that's relevant to you or has an effect on you or perhaps it could be a perso /object, then a few days later you have a dream containing the things you've seen during that period when you were awake. i agree with xyzzy your brain is like a file and it needs to be put into order.
