There are about a dozen solid, researched and peer reviewed medical and scientific theories on why we dream. Psychosomatic theory, continual-activation theory, dreams as resonance in neural circuits, dreams as excitations of long-term memory and activation synthesis theory are but a few.

What's clear is that dreams cannot foresee the future and many times dreams don't mean anything at all.
