The idea that dreams reveal your inner nature has fallen out of favor. If you had a series of dreams like this they might contain some useful bits of information but for the most part, just enjoy the places they take you. The things you actively think and do during the day say a lot more about your identity than dreams do.
The thing you actively think and do during the day forge patterns of energy-flow through your neurons and when you sleep/dream, those same patterns influence the content of dreams.
If they didn't, you wouldn't recognize anything in your dreams. They would just be totally abstract nonsense without any recognizable forms, colors, sounds, emotions, etc.
