Sometimes I'm interested in what my dreams might mean.

There's a pseudo-science that promotes the idea that certain common symbols have specific meanings.

When I'm REALLY curious I go here:

Hyperdictionary - Dream Dictionary. It propounds some interesting interpretations, but I don't put too much credence in them.

I think dreams are basically the brain's way of "taking out the (mental) garbage". :wink:

Yes, I do it too, nevertheless I believe interpretation of dreams is very instructive.

Lately I keep having dreams about being pursued. A group of people is chasing me, and threatening me. I find these dreams upsetting.

So do I. I find dream symbolism a fascinating subject.
