My dreams never present the truth, or rather, what is real in my life. That sounded deeper than intended, but hopefully you get the gist of it. One example of a dream for me, is one where I took the girl I like out swimming in Bermuda and we check out a coral reef there. I have been to Bermuda before so this takes information from my head that I've enjoyed before, and inserts something else that I like (if it wasn't for the fact that she has a damned long-distance boyfriend! But thats getting off topic). As for nightmares, a good example would be one where my family is happily oblivious to the fact that they are swimming in a pool with sharks in it. Sharks are the only thing I fear, and so in my dream I was crying and furious at my inability to jump in and help them. Finally I grew so frustrated that I grab a random pole that was nearby and jumped in. Then I woke up. This nightmare took what I did not like, swimming for my school and sharks. And added people that I love. My nightmares always mix love with fear (fear of loss as well). All of my dreams and nightmares follow this formula, and I'm curious as to whether other people are similar in some way.
