Excellent description for most dreams. Robert Moss - author and explorer of dream states often says in in workshops to name your dream, become each of the characters in your dream as a way of deeper understanding.

Most dreams are about working out problems that our ordinary consciousness cannot readily grasp. Dreamtime dreams are an entree into another realm or dimension seem more real that problem-solving dreams and may repeat themselves. Dreamtime dreams one may have dreams of the future (precognitive dreams) or be visited by masters and given tasks to do in the dream or in "real" life.
