Dreamy

Do dreams really mean anything?  I am one of the rare ones who has a dream almost every night and usually can remember what they were about the next day.  Lat night, I basically took a coma and fell into the deepest sleep I can ever remember having and in that sleep I had the strangest mix of dreams.  One of them was actually a nightmare in which I watched all the people close to me get attacked by this evil random woman and as I tried to kick her my legs would barely miss and it was as if I were moving in slow motion.  It was the most random, scary and frustrating dream!  I woke up 1) having to use the restroom 2) scared to death because I thought the dream was still real and 3) struggling to get out of bed to go to the restroom because I feared that any movement would make her attack me... so I laid there, considering all my options and before I knew it I was back into another deep sleep.  This time my dream was on a more lighter scale and was obviously not as traumatic because I can barely remember it.  However, this still brings me to the main question of whether dreams actually mean something or not?  I know God spoke to many people back in the day through dreams, but does that have anything to do with the ones we have today?  For some reason, I always find myself taking my dreams a lot more serious than others because mine are so real and involve situations that I might have recently struggled with or need to settle.  And what does it mean when you consistently see one person in your dreams each night? I always have the same characters and sometimes it can be so random because I will not have talked to that specific person in a long time but here they are each night when I fall asleep! I have often heard the explanation that our dreams are our sub conscience screaming for attention.  They reveal things that we push down inside or try and avoid.  This makes sense to me in some cases because often if I have a disagreement or a relationship has been troubled, I will dream of myself and the other person reconciled and living happily ever after ... that is until I wake up to realize that the situation never changed.  Dreams are such teasers- we can be anyone and do anything in our dreams and a lot of the time- our dreams are hard to wake up from.  How amazing is that to think that our brain takes us into different worlds and makes up things we actually never were apart of in the real world.  Our creativity is overwhelming us and we don't even realize it or do it on our own.  It just blows my mind to see how intricate every single thing about the human body really is.  We will never master the body because there is just too much going on all the time and it all works together perfectly!  How can you deny a creator after seeing what all the brain can do?  This is such a random post but I was just going to see if there were any other people out there as fascinated with dreams as I am. Oh, and heres a trippy picture because that's what I consider dreams to also be.... trippy.
