Dreams and Their Meanings Dreams do not always have meanings Sometimes a dream refers to thoughts or conditions of the past and sometimes of the future. Dreams are frequently full of meaning and will teach us great and important lessons if we are willing to learn them and know their real meaning. Both Sacret Writ and history prove this. During all the ages dreams have been recognized as frequently having a most important relationship to the future and revealing conditions that could not otherwise be understood. When the science of psychology becomes better understood, we shall have a better understanding of what dreams really mean. It must be remembered, however, that owing to certain psychological conditions, dreams are frequently obverse, like the view through the lens of a camera.
