Transplutonian,
Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the complex maze of dreams(over analyze). Personally, I don't try to come to conclusions about anything. Right now I'm in a phase of not remembering my dreams. I still have the essence of the dreams. I believe there is a reality other than this waking one. I believe part of it is about learning to navigate this other realm(s), and the dreams provide clues.A field in a dream is getting close, for instance.A field can mean a field of vison, a portal of sorts.
I have noticed songs, stories, commercials, and many such things have a lot of subconscious indicators in them. I suspect most creative things come from dreams. I believe this less when it comes to what appears as destruction. Destructive aspects tend to be wrong thinking or out of balance emotional issues. This is not the same as prophetic dreams.

Yes, I agree, but I don't consider myself over analyzing.
More concerned with a personal geography of drealm locales.
Transplutonian,
I didn't mean you are over analysing.[:)] It just seems to me that many of the answers come to us over time.
Yes, geography is an interesting part of dreams. There are navigational clues and directions. Have you ever read about Feng Shui?That subject may give you a little insight into directional energy (chi). I find this system hits on a lot of truth. I understand the air aspect, but I was rather drowned(pun) by the water information.The water aspect of FS I could not connect with.I don't know why.
While I view dreams as dependant upon brain chemistry, function, etc,
I also think that dreams may be forays into astral or non-physical locales. Could dream landscapes which are topographically different from the waking landscape be indicative of actual non physical realms?
On a related note, if anyone is familiar with the author H.P. Lovecraft,
he was a writer of fantasy and horror stories. He was a prolific dreamer, and many of his stories were based on his dreams.
He mentioned in one story(The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath) that "in the land of dream, dimensions have strange properties".
