According to Gregg Levoy in Psychology Today: DREAMS DON'T COME TRUE THEY ARE TRUE

August 26, 2024

Pregnant women who dreamed about the sex of their baby, according to a Johns Hopkins University study, were correct 100% of the time, as opposed to 70% of women who had an intuitive sense about the sex of their baby. What does this tell us? It tells us that we have access to some very deep knowledge about ourselves in our dreams, and much of the time we are literally sleeping through it. How many people do you know who say they never remember their dreams? It's very common. And very sad. Dreams tell you what you really know about something, and what you really feel, not what you think you SHOULD feel. They point you toward what you need for growth, for integration, for expression, and the health of your relationships to person, place and thing. I once went to an analyst for what I thought was an anger problem. My roommate at the time suggested I talk to someone to resolve this anger. I did go, and I began to have what I considered bizarre dreams about my roommate, the person who thought I had the problem. Over time, I was helped to understand that my dreams were not crazy, merely realistic about emotional situations existing within my roommate that were bothering me in ways I felt too frighted to consider. Dreaming is ultimately about awakening, to a reality we might have realized but not wanted to face. And sometimes dreams point us to happiness we were just not able to see. It's not all bad. But it is humbling, because our intelligence is so much more vast than most of us were ever led to believe, or helped to understand. This is where therapy can help us, if we find a witness to our nuttiness that helps us realize we are so much more than we know. I will close now as I am still on vacation. Time to go to sleep now. Hopefully I will get enough sleep and energy to be able to remember recall and write down my dreams.
