[Ghoulish Delight]

Well, seeing as it was my thoughts that sparked this, I suppose I should respond.

Essentially, I don't discount the fact that some dreams can be insights into your mind, however I don't believe all of them are. I liken it to your brain just randomly flipping channels. Who knows if what you've landed on is a hard-hitting investigative documentary, or a Joe Bob movie. Or perhaps even a cleverly crafted work of fiction that merely appears to be reality, a la War of the Worlds. Because of that uncertainty, I have a hard time putting much stock in them and don't spend too much of my energy analyzing. The only ones I've ever really spent time on have been some recurring ones. And they've been interesting, but so disconnected from anything in my waking life that I've mostly come to the conclusion that it's just my brain playing out some hypotheticals and/or getting some exercise.
