Why do we dream?(both)

How are we supposed to interpret our dreams?
My dream last night was weird. Somehow the sweet elderly lady was a real nasty, bitter, sad matriarch who was on the verge of losing everything because she had to keep up appearances of being the "Strong One"
Do you have weird dreams?

Sometimes. I think one of the strangest things is when someone (usually not even someone who ever figured significantly in my life) shows up in a dream when I haven't consciously thought about them for 30 years. Makes me wonder what's going on in my head when I'm not looking.

I think mostly dreams are our subconscious mind tidying up and taking out the trash in its own odd little way. I don't often attach much meaning to them.

@Mamapolo2016 I do not attach meaning to them either. Simply some of them make no sense at all, some of them interweave many different aspects of my life lived into a mishmash. Really weird at times.

@Gusman I know. Like your mind perceives some tear in the fabric of your life and is trying to weave a patch over it.
