The bible tells us that dreams can mean something or mean nothing. The truth is that the interpretation of dreams "has no rules". There are many books that deal with the meaning of the elements in dreams, water means one thing, animals another, that's nonsense.
Many dreams over several nights can deal with the same theme, but some are completely unrelated. Many times we dream that we see the future or possible futures that are not going to happen, how to interpret them correctly? We must be careful when we pursue our dreams because they can be our salvation or our trap, we need to wisely discern what God's creation shows us. Thence the old saying: "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver!" Proverbs 16:16.
The interpretation of dreams is fundamentally a gift from God, like the prophet Daniel who interprets the dreams of the King of Babylon, dream interpretation is not a rational process, but a deeply intuitive one.
The bible reminds us that we must seek wisdom in all things, and in this case dreams. The capricious and superficial man is carried away by impressions and the immediacy of dreams, but the wise man meditates and seeks inspiration and discernment from dreams, this is what the bible tells us in the Book of Ben Sira about trusting in God and not in dreams:
"Empty and false are the hopes of the senseless,
and dreams give wings to fools.
Like one grasping at shadows or chasing the wind,
so anyone who believes in dreams.
What is seen in dreams is a reflection,
the likeness of a face looking at itself.
How can the unclean produce what is clean?
How can the false produce what is true?
Divination, omens, and dreams are unreal;
what you already expect, the mind fantasizes.
Unless they are specially sent by the Most High,
do not fix your heart on them.
For dreams have led many astray,
and those who put their hope in them have perished.
Without such deceptions the Law will be fulfilled,
and in the mouth of the faithful is complete wisdom." Ben Sira 34:1-8.
