When you dream while your asleep do they mean anything? Last night I dreamt I was taking pictures of a duck in a pond and tripped and nearly fell in. For some reason can't shake off the dream.

Some say dreams are a way of processing things through your subconscious. It could be you mind telling you to pay closer attention to what you are doing and not as much attention to some cute thing in the distance.
