Start of Psychology Change of Behavior Assignment

The behavior that I want to change for my psychology project is I want to utilize my dreams more. Supposedly, dreams can give insights, help decisions, and solve problems. I feel like I have been wasting my dreams, especially considering I usually wake up remembering them. Therefore I am going to start recording them and try to determine what they mean. Hopefully I will see a difference.
In this post I am going to write down the last four dreams that I remember. From here on I will number all of my dreams so that I can refer back to them in later posts.

Dream 1:
A girl that I had liked for a while who recently moved away came back to visit in this dream. She seemed to be annoyed at my presence and also had a boyfriend. I think the message of this dream is that it is time to move on. I am sad though that I could not muster up the courage to act on my feelings when I had the chance.

Dream 2:
I am eating in the school cafeteria and people keep messing with my food. Finally someone that I know takes my apple and I fight him for it. While I am fighting someone steals my car keys and replaces them with their own. They drive my car somewhere and I go looking for them. I yell for them, and they yell back. I use their car, which happens to be a Farari in the dream but not in real life, to drive where they are and get my car back. I can not figure out the meaning of this dream. I do not have any reason to be dreaming about the first person. The second was my first roommate in college. This was probably a dream that did not mean anything.

Dream 3:
I kept having a lot of places to drive to and I kept hitting things with my car, which was doing damage to my car. My breaks were hardly working, and I destroyed my keys by turning a weird knob on the other side of the steering wheel. The second part of this dream was me sitting on the sideline in a football game. I got in around the end of the game, and was playing very well. One weird thing about the game was it was played in larger version of the back yard of my old house. In fact, I caught a pass only because a tree deflected the ball my way. The first part of my dream reminded me of when I was little and kept dreaming of my teeth falling out or getting chipped. In highschool they actually did chip pretty bad. Now this is two dreams in a row where something happened to my car. I hope this is not a prophetic dream. The second part of the dream was me probably just thinking about an upcoming game that I am going to dress in but probably not play. It was at my old house just because dreams are weird like that.

Dream 4
This dream is not very vivid. My football coaches were going over hard math problems.
This is probably just because I was working on some hard math before I went to bed and maybe thinking about football as well. On the subject of math problems: when I was thinking about doing this project earlier in the week, I had some hard math homework. I got to the last problem and could not figure it out so I tried to dream the answer and failed. Maybe if I actually thought about the problem more before I went to bed.
