Wrote this comment in response to Casey’s post today on Personal Tao and invite you to answer his query as well:
My dreams tend to follow my day to a large extent — last night was planning to go to a barbecue this evening with a friend, and dreamed about that friend. I also was doing a talk for the Humane Society and the other speaker was a man who I’ve heard talk about the chaparral and fire prevention, so I dreamed about fires. Haven’t had any very unusual dreams lately.
I think my spirit is pretty settled. When it is changing, I tend to dream about houses. When there’s lots of construction going on, I know things are at work. If the house is large and there are parties going on, I know I’m in a good place with myself and others. ;^) If I’m dreaming about other people’s houses, then I’m usually working on something in that relationship, or worried about them for some reason.
I really know things are wrong when I dream about black cars. For some reason, they pop up in really troubled times. I dream about animals when I’m getting some kind of spiritual message — often wolves or dogs or sometimes birds.

Very interesting! I often dream of houses I once lived in, but things are never the same as they really were. I haven’t tried analyzing these dreams, but since they are frequent, I guess I should. I also dream I am driving a car and I am unable to stop it. I guess that one is easy to figure out.
Come to think of it, the first example I gave is fairly obvious, too.
Dreams. There’s a subject lots of people talk about, but nobody knows anything about.
Hey, that makes it pretty much like every other subject, doesn’t it?
That’s not a slap at your discussion of your dreams, Donna, just me reflecting on the subject of dreams.
