I believe most dreams are the brain's way of keeping you occupied while it fixes whatever damage you did to it during the day-or otherwise repair itself. On the other hand, I think dreams can teach you and confront you with certain fears which you can solve in the dream and apply to your real life.

On a side note about dreams, I think dreams are sort-of like a wireless receiver/transmitter in certain cases. I point to the very rare "dream merge", which is when you and one other person have the same dream. Not as in two dreams which happen to be the same-ONE BIG DREAM! I had it happen twice to my knowledge, but I have a few hypothesizes (or however that is pluralized): 1) It only occurs when specific conditions are met naturally-those conditions are not clear; 2) It can only be with someone who you not only know, but care for-like a good friend or lover, and maybe family; and 3) It may be possible to forcibly make a dream merge occur, but only if you have control of your dream and if the target is well-known to you and is in a dream state.
