Moving Beyond Dreams 101

The dreams just get stranger and often with no link to anything that's ever crossed my mind. Does this happen to everyone as they grow older? What brings out these imaginary plotlines and situations? Usually involving some sort of personal dilemna where I wake up relieved to be jolted from this make believe dream world. Nothing too frightening that I can recall just weird with aspects that make no sense .... Like I'll be at home then a moment later, I'm in New York City. It all leaves me a little curious and even looking forward to discover what will be generated next.
