Why must we be cursed with dreams?

[Jenny A]

Dreams can give you insight on your inner status.
I remember those dreams of flying when I was a kid, awesome.
The scary ones were a signal of hidden fears that needed to be dealt with.

You ask,"Why.......dreams"?
I suspect they are both for an early warning system and to cause us to have a sense of awe and wonder at ourselves.
We are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Where did I hear that before?

Mostly they tell me what I already know. For example, when I'm having a happy dream and all is going well, I'm married to my husband. Should a tire go flat or something else go horribly wrong my husband becomes my ex. This doesn't really reflect quite as badly on my ex as you might think. We were poor and all problems were more difficult.
