I do not like thinking that dreams exemplify our desires but probably it is because my nightmares are pretty creepy or even rather disgusting but it could mean that this is exactly what I am afraid of... I wouldn't worry so much that one person said that there is no sense in analyzing dreams at all while others have said that there is a sense (especially as HazelGirl mentioned for PTSD etc.) - I guess you know the best what is important for you, and if in your opinion your dreams mean something and you think about them, I would then say that they are important...
