In cultural terms, 12 is significant. The 24 hours of our day are divided, in most households, into blocks of 12. Jesus, in whom most Americans profess religious devotion, supposedly had 12 Apostles. The Zodiac has 12 signs.

Yes, and(seriously) I was born in Oklahoma(which I recently found out was in District Twelve) in room number 112 at 12:12 on April 12th, and my dad told me that OSU won a football game against OU at 12 to 0.Now, if that isn't freaky, I dunno what is.

People don't get it, even if 12 does have meaning, it wouldn't in his dreams if he doesn't know that

Yup. But sometimes the ideas of other people can help you find your own interpretation of your dream, especially when you're completely clueless about what it could mean. I can only speak for myself here, but I remember times, when input from outside made me go like: "of course, why didn't I think of that myself?"

Don't get me wrong. IMO, any interpretation that is based on information that the dreamer doesn't have is pointless. But often you subconsciously know the meaning (if there is one), you just can't put your finger on it. Then, input from outside can be helpful. The final interpretation, however, is something that the dreamer must do himself. There is way too much personal experience and subjectiveness contained in a dream symbol to have others do that work for you.

I wonder, do you still have no idea what your dreams are about? If looking at the dream content doesn't help, you might want to remember the feelings you had when you dreamed them. Maybe you can recognize the same feelings in waking like and that might point you in the right direction. Just a thought
