Going Deep Inside your Dreams

Do you remember your dreams when you wake up? I usually do, and I enjoy thinking about and building upon them throughout the morning, as I often dream crazy stuff with elaborate plot and incredible scenery. I also go through periods of nightmares, and that's less fun. I love a horror book just like the next witch, but seeing horror stuff? No thanks! The other thing I like a lot is trying to figure out what does dreams mean, even if they do not always correlate with what's happening in my waking life. Well, that time I messed up with my meds I had the most incredible dreams, but mostly it feels pretty random, even the nightmares. But what that means for me is that I don't tend to take any single dream too seriously, unless it openly refers to something I'm going through. And I also don't believe those traditional almanacs that say "dreaming X means Y": obviously, the meaning of dreams is deeply personal, and may even change throughout one's life. So how do I investigate my own dreams?…
