So Bryan originally asked if finding meaning to dreams would make a significant improvement in life and Courtney posted her view. In my opinion knowing what our dreams mean would have the same feeling as knowing your future or knowing how you are going to die and when. It would take the wonder and mystery out of something that is supposed to stay mysterious and unknown. It would be really cool to know what maybe one or two dreams meant but knowing the whole meaning behind all of them would be going too far. Also I think that knowing dreams meanings would definitely make a big difference in people's lives but not necessarily an improvement. Because just like my example of knowing when or how you are going to die, you might live your life constantly worried about your actions and how they affect future actions and maybe things will turn out differently than predicted. If you knew what your dreams meant you might also take precautions that you wouldn't normally take and you might act differently towards peopel who were in your dreams than you would if you just didn't know the meaning behind why that person was in your dream in the first place. Not knowing is better because it forces us to make our own decisions and take our own risks and shapes our personalities and characters separately instead of something being decided for us. Sometimes some of my dreams help me make decisions in life. I don't rely on my dreams and it's not all of them but one or two of them have helped me get closer to people I didn't think I would without my dreams.
If we didn't dream at all would that change our actions toward life too? Do we (or others) actually make certain actions based on our dreams?
