Dream interpretations and the meaning of dreams
Our brains are in constant activity. Different states of consciousness (like awake, asleep, alert, drowsy, etc) cause different brain wave activity and higher or lower brainwave frequency. Our conscious mind, or our waking mind, only used a small percentage (some say this is only 10%) of our brains total capacity. Other areas of our brain control things like breathing, heartbeat, converting light to vision, sound to hearing, balance when we walk, etc. etc. This too has it's own percentage (small). Another area controls imagination. This area is widely an undiscovered frontier.
Imagination is much more than simple daydreaming. It is creating an idea, exploring possibilities. When you look at clouds and see shapes, or wood grain and see images, this is the "order from chaos" part of your imagination. The mind cannot deal with chaos very well and will resist it as much as it can even if it has to fabricate or make you believe there is order when none exists.

Now we come to the meaning of dreams and dream interpretations
Dreaming occurs in the subconscious mind, well away from the control of the conscious waking mind. However, at certain parts of the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) cycle of sleep, the conscious mind gets to see what the subconscious is doing and records what is views in memory. To the conscious mind, what it is seeing is just as real (sometimes more so) as anything it experiences in the waking world. If fact, most of the time it believes what it is seeing and feeling to be real.
What you experience in the dream is your subconscious minds attempt to communicate something to you, asking you to find meaning and interpret your dream. Many times your mind is processing such things as trauma and problems in your life at that time, truths you are denying yourself or refusing to accept, spiritual growth, beliefs, psychic intuition (we ALL have this to a certain degree), communications from a higher being (GOD).
Dreams are easily influenced by factors in your life and spirit, and these influences create "categories" that are almost infinite. We do broadly categorize them in terms like "prophetic, standard, physical and nightmare" (to name just a few) And these we study each their own, in order to gain benefit from them.
I look at it this way: Our mind and spirit together with our brain, is actually the greatest computer ever devised! To understand it's "back of the house" processing is to learn more about ourselves, God, our future and each other.
Many things can be gained from dream interpretations, such as better health (mental and physical), entertainment and even financial gain! (dreaming of a invention or idea) Now that you know some of the basics about dreaming and what (theoretically) dreams are you should have a better grasp on how to understand and use your dreams.

Putting a Dream Dictionary into Perspective
Your dreams are rich in symbols and metaphoric meaning, and therefore are an extremely important healing instrument. If regularly used and understood, dreams can heal relationships, restore health, correct your life's path and purpose, and enrich your life in so many ways.
While a dream dictionary may provide insights into the meaning of a dream, they do not possess the complete capacity for accurately interpreting your dreams. Your dream symbols are aspects of you and you possess the ultimate ability to interpret them. Having said that, this dream site will give you all the tools and information you need to understand your dreams and unlock the mysteries and the meanings of those dreams.
How to Spot Your Dream Themes
Look for dream themes while recording your dreams in a dream journal. A dream theme exists within each dream and can be found by focusing on "action" words that you use while recording your dream. When you describe your dream in your dream journal, write exactly what comes to mind without thinking or analyzing. Then after your dream is recorded, read it over. Read your dream allowed to yourself.
For example, a person I know told me this dream - Her mentor was in an accident and my friend saw Tom (her mentor) being thrown around in the car as it rolled down a hill. The next night Tom was in a house as it burned down, she could see and feel the flames dancing around Tom. This continued a few nights until one night she dreamed she walked into her living room and there was Tom, unharmed and smiling at her.
She felt such relief but at the same time she felt silly for thinking he was killed.
Using action words or verbs to describe her dream helped her to define a theme such as, Tom was rolling out of control, the flames were around him and there was no way out, she felt silly for thinking he was harmed.... By identifying the theme, my friend, who is on a spiritual path of growth could see that this dream was not about injury or death, but about her own inner self, and that no matter what life threw at her, she was going to be just fine.
