   Quite true.  Most of the analytical stuff is nonsense but I KNOW that
dreams are quite often a direct reflection of one's strengths and weaknesses,
especially the weaknesses in one's situation.  When the situations correspond
to what one KNOWS to be true in one's waking life one is made aware quite
forcibly of the truth of the content.  The mind of a normally healthy person
generally doesn't lie to one.  It probably CAN'T do so.  Nothing mysterious
about it at all.  
Sincerely, 
                                     Frank
