Hey, I also did a lot of work on dreams - I have also journaled my dreams for years and had therapy at the same time. I got super into them, read a bunch about them, even did a psychology masters to spend time researching them. I couldn't find theory that matched with my experience so I wrote this paper on them:

"A Suggestion for a New Interpretation of Dreams: Dreaming Is the Inverse of Anxious Mind-Wandering."
