Dreams usually have their meaning in the here and now. It is true that dreams will often link to long term issues but you will find that their meanings are symbolic of recent personality issues. So finding out the meaning of a dream will often link to something very specific which is in the here and now. So working out the symbolism is made much easier because you will find a dreams meaning in a diary or in the thoughts which you tell a best friend. You can often translate a dreams meaning into a quote which captures a very specific thought. For instance fear dreams can be triggered by phobias and a dream will link to a thought like "my phobias are getting worse. I am really dreading going to a family gathering tomorrow." So you can work out how a dream will link to something very specific in the here and now. Dreams are linked to recent feelings because they are connected to the mind transferring thoughts from short term into long term memory. Dreams are often short plays which capture key thoughts which capture a similar emotion to real life. The story in the dream may seem unrelated to real life but it is just a symbolic version of a real life thought.
