Have you? Was the dream extremely vivid and almost felt too real to the point you realized you had to make immediate lifestyle changes upon waking? Or did the dream slightly alter your personality?
Yea a couple times, i always kind of believed that is your subconscious that is trying to tell you something or change something. So it kind of fabricates a scenario in your REM sleep.
I believe dreaming of fighting a shadow made me more confident spiritually
