Assalaamu Alaykum,
whoever said dont discuss dreams on the forum is correct and i will tell you why.
First off try to purchase Abu Aminah Bilal Phillips book "Dream Interpretations"
It is according to Qur'aan and Sunnah strictly.
Second of all, there are three categories of dreams:
1) From Allaah
as a blessing and both Muslims and non-Muslims can see these good dreams, they have excellent meaning lessons, etc.
2) From your own unconscious thoughts or feelings depending on how you spent your day and who spoke with etc. Nothing special.
3) From shaitaan to mess with your mind and to try to scare you or lead you astray. And brother Wel mei gave good dua's to combatt this type of dreams.
Furthermore, getting dreams that become true ( both Muslims and non-Muslims, good and bad, any type of people can get them) is bushra in this world according to tasfeer of an ayah in surah Hud because a companion of rasool SAW happened to ask what is meant by good tidings or bushra in this verse and seeing good true dreams was the bushra.
True dreams is 1/40th part of prophethood and the only thing left with us now
Dreams should be only told to those people who really trust and love and those people who love you and will not be jealous of you.
Only certain people have the hikmah or wisdom of dream interpetrations and Allaah has given them this quality.
You can intrepret your own dreams if you understand them, however the first intrepetration is what is said( or stays so you should try to ask someone who will give the best interpretation of the dream). Like I said some people ma sha' Allaah have the ability to intrepret other people's dreams as well as their own.
hope this helps and no need to tell your dreams to the whole world. I would suggest you delete the post where you are talking about your dreams, this is a personal and private matter and only a pious or trustworthy person who can intrepret dreams should be told.
Wasalaamu Alaykum
