There are three types of dreams. Lucid and two others I can't remember.
The first type is the most common. These are just usually dreams of daily events that will have a little different twist to it. These dreams usually don't mean anything. For example if you dream that you are sitting on your couch and a friend asks you to watch a movie with his grandma, that is usually this type of dream.
The second type are the weird ones. These are the dreams that make no sense but if you break it down, you can usually find out what it means or get at least a good guess. For example, you are senior in high school and you dream that you are waiting in line for a ride with four people from your school that you didn't really know. You get on the ride and you accelerate really fast and you wake up nauseous. This dream means that life is moving too fast for you and you wish you could have had the time to gotten to know people that you don't currently.
The third type is called a lucid dream. These are the ones that you realize that you are dreaming and you can control them. These will sometimes coincide with the second type of dream and you can figure their meanings. For example, if you got raped as a little girl but was traumatized to the point where you couldn't remember the face of the man. You dream of a car chasing you at night, the headlights are shining on you and you can't see who is in the car. You can't get away from the car but it never kills you, just follows, and this dream happens night after night after night. Then you have a lucid dream where you get the car to stop and you look into the car and see the face of the man who raped you.
I usually only remember my dreams when I wake up and go back to sleep.
