Studies on the way people treat their dreams is beginning to show that people are apt to give their dreams some credence. In one study, US, Korean, and Indian university students largely agreed with the theory that dreams provide important insights about themselves and the world. Another study concluded that dreaming of a bad future event was likely to cause as much anxiety as witnessing something actually occur that increases the possibility of that bad future event happening. In another, analysis of an online survey concluded that people are apt to ascribe more meaning to dreams that reinforced their existing general attitudes and beliefs rather than those that don't. Though most people acknowledge that dreams can't predict the future, it seems they treat them as reinforcing their beliefs or adding to the possibilities of what might occur.
