We are told that a portion of our dreams are true, and a portion are not true, so it is not possible to rely on our understanding of them. We usually dream about things that we are concerned with during the day, but when asleep our minds run freely and exaggerate the subject wildly. Also, as long as something is of interest, especially if it is disturbing, it will return over and over again. When you are no longer interested in it, or when you can ignore it, it will cease to come to mind.

     Given all this, we are also told that disturbing dreams come to move us away from improper behavior. So, good people have Bad Dreams, while bad people are lulled into complacency by having only good dreams.

     I have always had only bad dreams, except for one or maybe two times in my life. The night after I learned that King David never had a good dream, and that righteous people have only bad dreams, I had the most wonderful dream imaginable. It was so very pleasant…. Everything comes for a reason!
