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 thoughts linked to personality issues. So finding out the meaning of a dream will often connect 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 fright dreams can be triggered by a thought such as "I am dreading tomorrow as I am due to be tested at work. I maybe demoted". So the quote is a good way of linking a dream to something very specific. The dream features similar emotions but within a story which at first glance seems unrelated to real life but actually captures a key emotion from the here and now. Dreams will often link to thoughts from the previous day because they are connected to the brain processes which transfer short term memories into long term memory banks.
