They say that listening to someone describe their dream ranks among the most boring topics of conversation.  Why? Well, because it's a dream.  If your best friend were to tell you that when they went home last night their front door really was made of chocolate, and the carpets had turned to marshmallow, you'd be at least mildly interested.  But because we all have such crazy and wild dreams, they tend to be difficult to appreciate in conversation afterwards. And yet, dreams are hugely important to our well-being.
