I can't speak for anyone else but here's my theory about what dictates your dreams. I think it has a lot to do with what happened to you in the past day or week, and what's weighing heavily on your mind. For example if you're constantly thinking about the new car you want, you will be more likely to dream about it. If things have been going badly for you that week and you're discouraged, you may dream that you get the car but then wreck it. If you've been staying at a friend's house, you may dream that you're at that house or stop by there, or that friend may appear in your dream.
I don't know that there's really a scientific way to predict what you'll dream about or what your surroundings will be but I think about it kind of like this. If I say I want you to write a story and then I tell you 5 words but the story doesn't need to have anything to do with those 5 words... Well just you thinking about the words probably had some sort of influence on what you write, whether it's obvious when reading the story or not. I think dreams are the same way, our daily lives and thoughts shape them but in the end they take their own direction.
Just my two cents. I'm interested to see what others have to say about this.
