Dreams can give you insight into the way you think, the way you react to things, but there's no set way to interpret them. Like Zebrah said, usually you're just receiving playback of whatever you were thinking about during a given day. If you were dreaming of an exciting space battle, it means you like sci-fi; it doesn't mean that you feel that your life is occurring in an intense vacuum of, um, communication and that you're struggling for... um... forget it. You see what I mean.
Sometimes you can track your dreams back to the source. You've been thinking about a tv-show; you're dreaming about the characters. You're writing a story; you're thinking about the characters, setting, things that you have to research. You've been daydreaming about rescuing damsels in distress; you dream about that, too.
Some dreams might have a deeper meaning. I give some credence to the idea of a shadow, a DC that represents parts of yourself that you resent or suppress. But again, we're back to the obsession over those traits, which would lead to dreaming about them.
Pouring over possible meanings for your dreams might be beneficial, if only because you start to recognize the patterns that characterize them. Start to recognize occurring features of your dream, and you might be able to recognize your dreaming. And the entire process is likely to improve your recall, which, really, is the core skill that you need to lucid dream.
