    Yes, every dream has a meaning to it. :X
    Not literal meanings, it's all figurative. (Dreams are usually pretty random, lol.)

    But I would have to remember my dream in details HOURS after I wake up to even try to find meaning in it.....

    I think they do not all of them, but most of them do.

    Dreams often reflect events in your life, suppressed emotions and things your subconscious is dealing with. So yes, dreams can mean things. However, if you're suggesting there is some, uh, supernatural aspect to it, then I very much doubt it.

    Dreams can be filled with imagery that either directly or symbolically relates to something weighing heavily on your mind, but usually they're for the most part meaningless. A lot of a dreams content is likely based upon random firings of neurons, which is why they tend to be really disjointed and random.

    This.

    If you experience a lot of emotion in your dream, that may well reflect things in your mind; if I find myself angry, I always try to deal with that the next morning. I don't think dreams can tell the future, though, or have supernatural meaning.

    I think only the important dreams will stay with you after you wake up. For me there have been dreams that allowed me to see my own emotions in much greater clarity. And by thinking about them I understood more about what I really want in life and what is truly important to me.

    I believe that if there is a recurring theme in your dreams, you need to pay attention.

    I think not every dream has meaning, but the ones we remember i think do. It's like your unconscious seeping into your conscious thoughts

    They have to have some sort of meaning. After all, your brain can't create something from nothing.

    I think they do. I know dreaming of your teeth falling out usually points to some kind of insecurity.

    And apparently teeth falling out is a common dream among insecure people haha

    They don't have meaning so much as they always relate to your life. It's your subconscience working things out as you sleep.

    And another is if you are running or hiding from something in your dreams that means you are running from something in real life... pretty freaky!
