Dreams communicate through symbols and metaphors. The persons, things, actions and even the surroundings in dreams all represent things different than what they appear to be, yet with similar qualities. For example, dreams often are set in the dreamer's home, which represents the dreamer's life. Different rooms of the home represent different aspects of life: work, family, social life, sexuality, etc. The upper floors of the home symbolize more intellectual and/or spiritual areas, while basements, cellars and underground chambers represent various levels of the past, or physical / animal concerns. Another important principle is that dreams are about the dreamer. For instance, a woman might dream of her sister being pregnant, when it is the dreamer herself who is expecting a child. See the attached links for much more information.

---- By far, dreams have no meaning at all. It is our subconscious working though things.

However there are plenty of people around that are willing to give you any meaning you require.

There are as many different interpretations of dreams as there are those that claim to be able to interpret them. Most, if not all, are charlatans.

One can learn a few basic principles about dream interpretation. One principle is that the dream always is about the dreamer. The second principle is that dreams use symbols and metaphors to present ideas or information. One can also find a number of helpful books that provide information about the function of dreams and how dream images act as metaphors for the dreamer's life. A good book for a beginner would be The Complete Idiot's guide to Interpreting Your Dreams, by Pliskin and Just. In spite of being an "Idiot's Guide," this book is both thorough and somewhat technical. Another, somewhat more accessible book is The Complete Book of Dreams by Parker and Parker. See the attached links for online resources.
