      Some people can choose what they dream about -it’s called ‘lucid dreaming’ and it can be done with practice. I used to be able to do it when I was younger. Mostly, though, dreams just happen almost at random and don’t mean anything.

      At least, I hope they don’t mean anything, because my dreams last night were really weird…

      You can sometimes guide your dreams if you’re conscious that you’re dreaming! It’s hard to start them off on a given topic, but often dreams can focus on something you’ve been thinking about during the day.
