"What happens when we see our dreams as a realm of beings manifesting through our psyches?"
Dream Replicants and the Emergence of Simulacra by Richard Wilkerson (in ElectricDreams)
Do Dreams Have Meaning? by Richard Wilkerson (in ElectricDreams)

Dreams may be meaningful for many reasons:
Existential - The dream has meaning because I give it meaning.
Affective - The dream has meaning because it feels meaningful.
Functional - The dream has meaning because it is useful.
Ephiphonic - I am overwhelmed by the meaning(s) of the dream.
Pragmatic - The dream is as meaningful as the impact it happens to have.
Autonomous - I listen to the dream for the answer about its meaning.
Spiritual - All things have some alignment with the infinite, including dreams.
Relative - Dreams give people more satisfaction than some other approaches.
Testimonial - Dreams are meaningful and valued by many people.
