I inclined to believe there is strong correlation between our spiritual life and the kind of dreams we usually dream. At least that's what my experience has been. When you are in communion with God, you enter some kind of rest where you don't strive any longer, and the dreams follow that kind of restfulness and serene peace and joy. 

I also find the if there is a recurring theme in the dreams, those kinds of dreams are usually God and his army of holy beings trying to instruct us, protect us from peril, etc. The scenery may be different, but the theme is the same.

You see this idea in the Hebrew Scriptures too. The Egyptian Pharao has 2 dreams with the same theme. 7 ugly, gaunt cows eat 7 well feed beautiful cow. In the second dream 7 thin and scorched ears of grain swallow 7 full and healthy ears of grain. Same theme but the imagery is not necessarily the same. You can see this idea in other parts of Hebrew Bible and the New Testament too.

"For God may speak in one way, or in another,  Yet man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falls upon men, While slumbering on their beds, Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction"

That's a quote from the Hebrew Bible, Job 33:14-16. The way I understand that is that God speaks to everybody (man used in generic way meaning humankind) - everybody dreams. Yet not everybody pays attention/perceive/remembers and acts accordingly. 

Angela Derbawka Although I did reply under your comment, I didn't necessarily mean to state anything about you Angela. I am sorry if what I wrote in a hurry, came that way.  I was just stating a general fact that I don't agree with Ray, that people who dream are rare.  I said we; I included myself in that too.

TBH, for a moment, when Ray stated that, I thought, wow I dream a lot, I am one of those "rare" people. But pretty much everybody dreams all the time, it's natural part of life.  And research seems to validate that. Even the very rare people who say they don't dream, research seem to indicate that they just don't remember their dreams. But dreaming is normal part of the human, dog and many other animals experience. I said dog, because my little Bishon sleeps next to me while working, and I can see and sometimes even hear him acting his dreams. He may move his legs as if running, sometimes he cries or barks while sleeping. He is dreaming...

Angela Derbawka We are totally special, unique and amazing! I would argue though that how much we dream is not something that somewhat makes us more special, because that's something that is extremely common. According to my understanding, somebody who doesn't remember dreams is more "unique", those kind of people are very rare. In fact I haven't met one yet.

Most people have this kind of dreams, we are not special in any way, because of the kind of dreams we have. You would hard press to find somebody who doesn't have this kind of dreams.

And note that it is not that they don't dream, it's just that they can't remember their dreams.

According to this research, people who can't remember their dreams are rather rare, 5-6% of people.  Does Everyone Dream? | Discover Magazine

Dreaming is part of the experience of any human being, there might somebody out there, who doesn't dream, if they are, they must be rare, because I haven't met anybody yet. So before pumping ourselves thinking that we might be something special, know that everybody around you is as special as you are, we all have all kinds of dreams, vivid, lucid, less vivid, normal, non-sensical dreams, heavy stomach dreams (I call them pizza dreams), or what not.

I don't know any person who doesn't have dreams or can't remember them.  You can see that even your pets have very vivid dreams, you see them running while sleeping etc. People who have dreams are rare? TBH, that's non-sense.

And what's up with these floating lights, in this video?
