What do you think of dreams, are they prophetic or just the mind defragging?

I have recurring disturbing dreams either about something going wrong in the house, or my computer isn't working properly. These have a weird way of becoming reality, but not in the exact context of the dream. For instance, I may dream the roof gets blown off the house, then a few days later the drain will back up. If I dream my computer is on the fritz, something may go wrong with my car. Go figure.

I still have dreams where my mom and I are out looking for garage sales. I also dream of finding money just laying on the ground or a sidewalk, but it's not ordinary money, usually some rare coins or such.
 
There was one dream I had that had me bending up my leg and cutting a corn off that has been bothering me.

I tried it. Couldn't get it halfway.

Most of my dreams are having lost something or losing myself and trying to find my way home. Or trying to find my car.

For some reason I am always in a scrapyard making my way through debris.

I'm always glad to wake up.
 
It always baffles me when I dream about someone I sat in front of in third grade. Someone obscure I haven't thought of in many many years. Why do they come up?
If I have some place important to go I often dream that I just can't get ready. My hair is wet, two different shoes, etc. I've heard that is preparing yourself and you will be ready.
Another is I'm in school and I have no idea what I am studying. I am totally unprepared and have missed all assignments. I am way behind and perplexed.
 
There are so very many dream theories. Freud said they were the "royal road to the subconscious." Sometimes if you look at various parts of a dream you will find similarities in them to what is happening in your life in some aspect. Other times I do think the mind is defragging or regenerating.
