Dreaming

Sometimes I have really bizarre dreams if I go to sleep on a full stomach. Like last night. I dreamed I pulled a small snake with an alligator head out of the side of one of my breasts. Yes, you read that right. And then, I had this weird crush on a guy that lived in a housing project, and I kept going over there and he wouldn't let me in or show me where he lived exactly, so I would be wandering around this dangerous slum with these narrow hallways bumping into strange people trying to find him...at one point I actually did find his apartment (it had a sea green door with a tiny window over the top) and I knocked but he wouldn't let me in. Probably because I had reptiles in my body. Can't imagine why he wouldn't have anything to do with me...

Do dreams really mean anything? I usually remember mine and they're usually fairly odd, but the one last night was truly bizarro. You have to wonder if your brain just kind of filters through info while the conscious part is asleep. But why does it do that, if that's truly what it's doing?
