There are plenty of books, experts, videos, workshops, and articles that are available about dreams and their meaning. Always question and remember that you and you alone are the final authority on what is true for you. In workshops, I like to say, "Don't believe anything I say. If it seems right for you, that's fine... and if it doesn't fit for you, just leave in behind when you leave."
In dream groups and even in one on one sessions, I use a guideline that before I or anyone talks about another person's dream we preface what we say with: "If it were my dream..." what this is intended to do is remind us that our thoughts and opinions about someone else's experienced dream is simply our projections onto his or her dream. The dreamer is always the one who decides if anything that is said actually makes sense or provides an 'aha' insight into the dream's message and meaning.
And why do dreams matter?
Well, if you are interested in self-growth and discovery, then dreams can be one more tool for your journey. Dreams provide a looking glass experience into the dynamics that are going on in our internal world, our psyche and soul. They can and do present us with information that may have been outside of our waking awareness, and can expand our consciousness in our everyday life in quite satisfying ways. There is so much more that dreams can provide for us.
