Significance
-
Interpreting dreams is subjective. There is no rigidly defined definition of what a particular dream means. If you tell your dream to five people, you'll probably get at least five different interpretations of it. The best rule of thumb seems to be to notice how you feel in the dream and look for similarities to your feelings in real-life situations.
