The prophet would ask people about their dreams and their interpretations so I do not think there is anything wrong with it Islamically.
I have done my own research on dreams though. In order to interpret dreams one must know the symbols that the mind uses. Each person's symbols are personalized. What one symbol means for a person may have completely different connotations for another.
The best method to become versed in dream interpretation is to keep a dream journal. Upon waking when a dream is most fresh, write down as many details as possible about the previous night's dreams. I did this journal for only a couple of days but I found that it made me remember my dreams alot more and made me more conscious in my dreams. Eventually (I did not get this far), you will notice patterns emerging, which leads to greater dream understanding.
Discussing this makes me want to start a journal again. I have some crazy dreams.
Insha'Allah this is of some help, ukhti
As salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
