John Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley have a theory that dreams are simply electrical brain impulses.
On the other hand, a dream analyst, Lauri Quinn Loewenberg believes that dreams do have meanings.

I personally think that dreams do have meanings because they can sometimes represent some emotion your feeling but can’t fully recognize it yourself. For example I used to have a reoccurring dream of me on a beach with my family and friends, and a tsunami approuchs and takes away my family and friends. I was later told that this was because i was being overwhelmed with stress (as water represents stress) that i was shutting my family and friend out. Once i realized this and began to stop becoming too stressed and the dreams stopped.
I believe dreams are subconscious guesses of what will happen in the future, sometimes, but ralerely correct. Déjà-vu, I’m guessing, is when we have dreamt this moment happened before, which is why it feels like you have lived this exact scene before
