Do dreams mean anything?

[MissScripture]

Ok, so last week I was on a trip with a bunch of people I'd just met, in NYC. Three of us were walking down the street and the girl with me was handed a Ben and Jerry's icecream cone as a promotional thing. As we were walking away, the guy with me said, "What? You got icecream? And it's the good kind, too!" And when he said that, I very vividly remembered having a dream, in which the exact same thing happened. I even remember waking up and wondering who the people were that I was with. It was a very eerie event, in any case, but not the only time that's happened to me.

Dreams - sounds like a fascinating topic in the context of religion. I'd be interested to know more about the Catholic tradition towards dreams. I know Pavel Florensky writes beautifully about dreams in 'Iconostasis'. He's a Russian Orthodox martyr killed by the communists.

dreams can be important. THey are things to discern very carefully, but i would trust them a bit.

I mosdef would NOT rely on something so vivid and unsecure, it's something so out there and so out in the open, who knows if their to be trusted? I don't think they are, the mind is an amazing things, what will it do in it's deepest rests? What things will it t hink of and what things will it see? I don't know, and I don't know if dreams can happen BEFORE an effent, like a vision. Unless it's a vision granted from heaven of course.
