Weird Dreams

The topic of dreams is often quite an interesting one. When a person says in a group "I dreamt..." often others have had a similar style of dream. This often leads to interesting tales by people of what they dreamt about.
I dont claim to know much about dreams but from my experience I would put them (or their constituent elements) in 3 categories:
The first category would be related to what may be going on in life. So, if you are working on a big project at work, you may find yourself dreaming about it. Also, if, like me, you like to read a part of a novel before bed, you might dream about stuff related to it.
The second category I propose is related to your fears and desires. Sometimes you could dream about overcoming a fear or alternatively, find yourself running around in dream world trying to get that desired thing but always having it slip out of your hands.
The third category is just plain ramdom. All the weird stuff like places you have never been etc. Basically all the stuff your brain just makes up from scratch (or at least it would appear so).
Most of the dreams I remember have all 3 of these things in them. I guess what I have found weird is that previously I used to have a 'recurring location that I had never been to' dream every few months. But lately they have been every night. I have one near the ocean, one on an airport runway, one 'random overseas locations' one but I have never been overseas, one island paradise one, the list goes on.
I had one the other day when I was in some kind of maze that some evil people put me and my friends (not actual individuals I know - that was just the vibe) and they set all sorts of traps and challenges to kill everyone off. But because I was some kind of special dude I kept surviving somehow. It was quite strange, but I have been reading the 'wheel of time' books before bed each night and the same thing happens to the main character.
Last night I had one where I was kind of country hopping around the world but kept running into the same lot of people but there were a bunch of mean people too who kept wanting to take some item of value from me. Kind of weird.
Why do I write this? Well, I dont know. I dont know if there is any real point in interpreting dreams. That being said, it is interesting to see how different people dream about. I think it gives you a bit of an insight into them.
I am pretty sure the bible says it is not cool either. Maybe because people take their interpretation and run with it in the wrong direction. Not sure....

I often have dreams that teach me stuff- usually things that I have been trying to figure out over a reasonably long period of time. I dream it then when I wake up I know how to do it- it is really strange. I dont often remember my dreams- only the truly bizarre ones or the really scary ones- most often it is a combination of both.
