Meaning
This reads as a way of treating bad dreams as emotional evidence rather than prediction. The nightmare is not necessarily telling the future, it is exposing what already feels threatening inside the person who has it. It lands when fear has no clear shape in waking life, but shows up vividly in sleep and needs to be understood, not taken literally.
