      I’m not sure what the real connection is, although sometimes I dream about things I have been doing that day, or a person I was with. Sometimes our dreams are completely random! I think there is no real answer yet as we don’t really know why we dream. I think there needs to be more investigation into the process of sleep and dreams etc…. it’s a very grey area! 🙂

      The only connection seems to be that you often dream about people or things that you have been seeing or thinking about in the daytime, and that your mood when awake can affect your dreams (so you might have pleasant dreams when first in love with someone, or anxiety dreams when you are stressed).

      I not sure, but I often have very weird and disturbing dreams so I hope none of them come true. I often find that it is based on something in real life but then it has been severely distorted in my dreams. My people in my dreams never have any faces but i know who I am thinking of. Do your people in your dreams have faces?
