Dreams are much more than we realise.
Sleep-states, or dreams, are a wonderful tool, if I may use this term, that can help in our daily life as well as they can show us our state of mind if we are ready to look deeper into ourselves. They can warn us about something not very nice that could come in our life, which could cause hurt, and disturbance. It can be to warn about somebody who intends to say or do something that is not good for the dreamer's self so something can be done for one's protection, like not reacting emotionally, not taking personally or simply refusing to do whatever they suggest us to do if we feel it is not good for oneself. It might be only for their personal and selfish benefit. Sometimes it might be something good that we might end up losing because of someone coveting what we have or are doing.
We usually don't know with the brain what is really good or bad for our soul (the pure and bright part of the self) and that's why dreams are there to help. As we learn about our own feelings in our daily life and learn to keep only the positive and happy ones, the ones that allow the self to go on in life without carrying the burden of the past (getting rid of the negative or depressive ones), we realise our understanding of our own dreams become deeper and more to the truth.
The good of sleep-states is that they give us chance to change what's coming by rethinking what we are busy doing, because through our way of thinking and actions, we don't realise that we are creating the conditions for a future moment, day, year or even the rest of our life can be affected. Something happened and we were not warned or advised, maybe we were not ready to change anything, sincerity might not have been there, or there was no possibility to avoid it for any reason.
I have a good example for such a warning as I had a sleep-state showing me.
In my sleep-state: being in our house, I become aware of something happening in our garden. I notice through the window, someone I know, with whom we have no physical contact with because of distance but only through telephone or internet, is doing something in our garden.
I go out to see what's going on, to find that he is whitewashing our garden; all the grass is being covered to the point of not seeing any green through that white creamy texture liquid. I still see our little bush still there, but he had planted a new bush next to the path but so close that it was touching it and growing would block the way, which was a very bad job. The path itself was gradually being covered in some parts, and he was still carrying on the whitewashing with a hose. I had never asked for that and he never offered or asked my permission to do something in our garden.
Now, my feeling is: someone is not happy with what I am doing, or probably coveting and thinking they would do better. Whoever it is, is someone I should know who is trying to change or hide what I am doing and/or have done and taking over what was our responsibility and replace everything with his own. There are people also who like to have control or to be above others. We can't really judge, but let them prove who they are.
Now, there is more than one way to deal with any situation, if ever it does happen and we are face to face with it, arguing is never good, that's one thing, and a very important one. The sad thing is it is so easy to let the self going down and arguing, but it leaves marks from anger, frustration or bitterness. Let's not take this path! Nothing good will happen, even when we think we have solved the problem, the effect can be terrible.
The problem can be solved inwardly in our sleep, or during the day with a calm explanation, expressing our feelings about it. One solution is let them do their thing and us do ours. Having an open mind can teach us something we might not have seen and understood. The right solution is not what others will tell us, it is the one that comes from our own feelings, even if it leads to making a mistake. Maybe that mistake is something we need to learn, in that case we bless it and let it go. We must be careful, listening to our feelings is not the same as listening to our emotions. Emotions are the negative way of reacting.
