Do you believe dreams hold meaning or symbolism?

    My dog of 14 years passed away in April, and i haven’t really mourned him like i should. I keep having a recurring dream where he’s alive, and I’m mad at everyone who said he was dead. I wasn’t there in the end, life circumstances made me send him to my “parents” house, where he passed peacefully of natural causes.

    I also have nightmares that feature my sperm-donor more often than I’d like.

    Edit: I believe dreams are a window into the subconscious, but they aren’t exactly reliable or “meaningful”, other than a “huh, that was weird…”.
