Not the most important dream but the most vivid and remembered dream was when I was 24 and dreamt I met myself as an old man. It began with the astonishment of the old self saying "I don't know how you got here". The questions I had were not all answered and the subject of time was most important to the old man. He wore a white lab coat and the encounter was lengthy.

Today I am a liberal for cultural progress in thinking with a future foundation that is conservative in the conservation of life on Earth.
In my past, I bought into the live for today for a profit tomorrow paradime.
Today I would advocate for working for our 7th generation. Not that 7 is a magic number but just to respect the reality that the future is much greater than the now. However now is all we have to effect the future.

My most unusual dream was of struggling to eat a giant marshmallow.... when I woke up, I couldn't find my pillow.

As mentioned in another thread I keep my phone beside the bed with a voice recorder app on it as I keep waking up with a tune or even a snatch of a song in my head.
They usually turn out to be rubbish once I have woken up properly, but occasionally not.

Beethoven did the same at his flat and sketched melodies on his bedside wall.

Nothing to do with music but I had a nightmare a few days ago where I had to answer a question for something (a job interview? An exam? No idea.)

The question was 'Draw a rectangle."

Not, I guess, the stuff of most nightmares. But, you see, if it needed to be freehand, a rule and square would be banned. But, on the other hand, if the wanted it as accurately as possible they would be essential. Was the rectangle supposed to be the main thing, or was the appeal of it the important thing? So, for example, should it be as close to a mathematically thin line as possible, or should it be Grinling Gibbons ornate? One colour, or multiple colours? Flat or 3D?

In my nightmare I had come up with hundreds of rectangles and know way of deciding what 'they' wanted.

I remember nothing else about the dream, by the way.

That sounds like a problem solving dilemma of unconscious proportions.

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Give him two lips like roses and clover (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
Sandman, I'm so alone (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Don't have nobody to call my own (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Mr. Sandman (yes) bring us a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a "come-hither" gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
Mr. Sandman, someone to hold (someone to hold)
Would be so peachy before we're too old
So please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring us, please, please, please
Mr. Sandman, bring us a dream

I had a dream long ago, but not long enough, that I was pawning Woody Allen's saxophone. Ostensibly, on his behalf I hasten to say.

I dreamt the other night that aliens had overtaken the earth with some sort of energy field but it didn't affect Bruce Lee because he was using the Force and so were all the Doctor Whos!

I think I may be getting my SciFis confused...

I dream often of Tom (Mudcat's Curmudgeon). In some of the dreams he sings, and when he does, it's his pre-vocal cord cancer voice. His speaking voice (when he speaks in the dream) is also his pre-cancer voice.

Prophetic dreams have been life saving in my family.
Acting on those dreams is the key.

I once dreamed that Barny Fife and Sherriff Taylor from the Andy Grffith show were helping me defuse an atomic bomb while hundreds of Chinese soldiers were advancing on us. I remember Barney saying "Golly, they sure are inscrutable."

I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls
With vassals and serfs at my side,
And of all who assembled within those walls
That I was the hope and the pride.
I had riches all too great to count
And a high ancestral name.
But I also dreamt which pleased me most
That you loved me still the same,
That you loved me
You loved me still the same,
That you loved me
You loved me still the same.
I dreamt that suitors sought my hand,
That knights upon bended knee
And with vows no maidens heart could withstand,
They pledged their faith to me.
And I dreamt that one of that noble host
Came forth my hand to claim.
But I also dreamt which charmed me most
That you loved me still the same
That you loved me
You loved me still the same,
That you loved me
You loved me still the same.

Most researchers on the subject of dreams seem to come up with variations on the theme that:

"Dreams are the mind's processing of yesterday's transactions, and preparation for tomorrow".

Nightmares are reckoned to be the result of a problem being solved, or not, and the difficulty thereof.

The conundrum is that the references are oblique, wordplay, pun etc.

eg a rectangle might be a house, a container, pugilism (as in box), or a corner that needs repair (wrecked angle - a pun)! Other personal references are available.

FWIW I used to record my dreams but rarely got a solution out of them, and it took 2 hours a day trying to read/interpret scribble, written half asleep in the dark. The only dream I remember now predicted my divorce 3 years before it crept up on me. And I wasn't able to read the signs. They only became obvious a couple of years after divorce.

Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
The room was filled with men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again
And when the papers all were signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful prayers were prayed
And the people in the streets below
Were dancing round and round
And guns and swords and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground
Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war
