I wrote my dreams down, used them in therapy as pieces of the puzzle. They're part of our lives, just like daydreams/fantasies. I'm still work on dreams I had 15-20 years ago and one special one I use to help guide my life.
I enjoy the symbolism of my dreams; Elton John once lent me his thick, white-framed glasses to match my cow outfit

so when I see him on TV, I look for the glasses. He also used a sub-machine gun in that dream, ganster-style, to cut down a fence! LOL
