One night I'm a murderer, the next my husband's having an affair. Why do we have the dreams that we do?
Briefly

Dreams carry a message of some kind, says Haynes. They communicate in a nocturnal language. It's not, however, a language that lends itself to universal translation. Despite pop psychology claims to the contrary, dreams about teeth, or flying, or being naked in public do not each have their own one-size-fits-all meaning that can simply be decoded.
As a psychotherapist, I am guiding, not decoding, says Haynes. It's always the context that's important when trying to make sense of a dream. Someone telling you what your dream means takes away your agency.
