yes I have had dreams I learn from but not in a long while. When it happens though, It's so surreal. I can tell when a dream is 'significant' by how vivid it is and how much it stands out to me. Sometimes, I'll have a series of dreams with the same sorts of themes to get my attention, and that's when I really start to wonder what they mean. Other times, the dreams are so symbolic that I can understand right away they're important and can usually figure it out pretty quickly. When it happens, it's a big a-ha! moment.
Recently, I've been having semi-vivid dreams about falling. In one, I was climbing up a long ladder in an icy, wintery setting. It seemed to be a giant slide of some sort, without the actual slide part. Other people were also climbing this ladder and when they reached the top, they jumped and a group of people would catch your fall. I was scared to do it but eventually, I did. In another, I was in a big building and had to fall down a tall balcony w/ squishy gym mats to catch my fall. I haven't figured out what both of these dreams mean, if they do at all.
I've noticed that most my significant dreams happen during a crossroads in my life. This can include major breakups, graduation (like now), etc. Perhaps the falling dreams can be interpreted as: it is ok to fear the unknown because there will always be something to 'catch your fall'?
