What are possible meanings for dreams of general thinking?
Carl Jung developed a theory of personality types based on four primary mental functions, aka cognitive processes, and today’s MBTI test is based on Jung’s original work. It’s a subject that goes so deep that this book can’t do it justice.
However, it is an important base of knowledge for dream psychology and specifically for understanding certain dream characters, which can be representations of mental functions, and certain groups of characters, which can be representations of how the mental functions interact. Which ones predominate? Which ones take a back seat? See: Groups

Dreamt that I showed my dick in a zoom meeting
I was in my room just vibing and decided to get comfortable. However when I whipped it out to readjust it someone said woah woah and blocked my stream. I didn't even notice a meeting was on let alone it had people I knew. I said it was an accident and someone said "don't worry, you're a nice guy" but it left me with horror.

My dream lasted for years, I’ve waken up confused and disorientated from the real world!
Last night I had a dream that has left me confused, grieving and distant from real life.
Has anyone ever had a dream that’s lasted weeks, months or even a lifetime?
My dream started with some kind of apocalypse happening, I watched the world get turned upside down. A lot of people survived but the dynamics of any kind of social system had fallen.
I lived life travelling with a group of people, trying to find food water and essentials. We tried to settle down and make home at some random empty houses but each time something ended up making us move.
In this dream I made friends, faced challenges with them, saw them die, I ran for my own life but in the end lost mine too.
It felt like I lived this life for months if not years. Too many details to explain on here but I can add if anyone’s interested. But in the end my dream ended with civilisation slowly getting back to a structured system. We went on a plane that we had found however once it was up in the air not long after some kind off technical issue made the plane start to fall. It went quickly I could only see from my perspective flashing in and out of consciousness until I suddenly saw the plane go down from A Birdseye view. And then I was taken to A place that was nowhere.. nothing existed except a voice talking to me.
I then saw little clips of my friends I made in this life, From years after the plane crash when civilisation was coming together. I saw a clip of my friend walking into a room in a house smiling. I saw a little girl pick up ring that had fallen from the plane crash. I saw other friends living their life years later finally at peace. I felt I was crying and I was happy for them that they were okay and things had gotten better for them.
Then I woke up, I feltfeltconfuse it had feltfelte I just lived a whole life in one night of sleeping. the real world doesn’t feelfeltl anymore. I feelfeltorientated and not sure what this means.
I hopefelts goes away I feelfeltpletely disconnected to real life.
