first of all, i personally feel that dreams only "mean" something if you want them to, or if you perceive that they should have some meaning in relation to your life. so yeah, if it affected you either positively or negatively, it means *something* to you- so think about why it does, and what you would do instead to alleviate that situation/feeling.

that's not the only theory on dreams, though it's one of them (and seems to make the most sense for most people in most situations). the other two are that dreams are a vehicle for wish fulfillment, and a vehicle for conflict resolution.
i've had a lot of vivid dreams lately, some are obviously wish fulfillment, and some just seem like nothing more than entertainment. for example, i had a dream that half of the crew of "the office" teamed up with me against michael scott during a nuclear fallout just the other day. totally random but there was a big, complicated plot and everything (that actually made sense). lol
and who would i *die* for? i think that's an unfair question and while some people can say hypothetically what they think they would do, i think when the situation arose they may do otherwise (totally dependant on the situation though). a better one would be, "who would you risk your life for?" i would risk my life for my best, closest friends, my SO, and my kids. and i suppose any "greater good" scenario, again, depending on the situation.
