Ra has some good material on the nature of dreams, and how to best approach them.
I've found the Dreaming Activity to be invaluable on my own spiritual journey; I pair it up with Meditation as two consistent ways to access the resources of the unconscious for personal/spiritual development.
Here's just a gathering of Dream-related Ra quotes.
Dream Recall can be sharpened:
"Ra: I am Ra. You must realize that we are over-generalizing in order to answer your queries as there are several sorts of dreams.
However, in general, it may be noted that it is only for a trained and disciplined observer to have reasonably good recall of the dreaming. This faculty may be learned by virtue of a discipline of the recording immediately upon awakening of each and every detail which can be recalled. This training sharpens one’s ability to recall the dream.
The most common perception of a mind/body/spirit complex of its dreams is muddied, muddled, and quickly lost."
Part of this is paying proper attention. What you pay attention to has a greater presence (and hold) in consciousness.
Dream Vocabulary:
"Ra: I am Ra. There is what might be called a partial vocabulary of the dreams due to the common heritage of all mind/body/spirit complexes. Due to each entity’s unique incarnational experiences there is an overlay which grows to be a larger and larger proportion of the dream vocabulary as the entity gains experience."
We do have a common set of symbols (let's say archetypal mind, or social mind of being on this planet), but we start having a personal relationship to symbols. The same symbol could represent variant things for different individuals.
Contact and Inspiration:
The Trance state is akin to sleeping, in that the conscious mind is at rest. Clearer information (less distorted) can come through when the conscious mind isn't constantly tampering with the inputs that are being offered to it. Hence during sleep, we can be influenced by other entities, in accordance with the type of deep seeking we are doing.
This influence is done without need for claiming of a source. What is important is the response (positive) to an entity's seeking:

Repetition of Lower Level Catalyst:
"In one who is blocked at two of the three lower energy centers dreaming will be of value in the polarization process in that there will be a repetition of those portions of recent catalyst as well as deeper-held blockages, thereby giving the waking mind clues as to the nature of these blockages and hints as to possible changes in perception which may lead to the unblocking."
Doing Work in Consciousness:
"As a mind/body/spirit complex consciously chooses the path of the adept and, with each energy center balanced to a minimal degree, begins to open the indigo-ray energy center, the so-called dreaming becomes the most efficient tool for polarization, for, if it is known by the adept that work may be done in consciousness while the so-called conscious mind rests, this adept may call upon those which guide it, those presences which surround it, and, most of all, the magical personality which is the higher self in space/time analog as it moves into the sleeping mode of consciousness. With these affirmations attended to, the activity of dreaming reaches that potential of learn/teaching which is most helpful to increasing the distortions of the adept towards its chosen polarity."
As I said in my introduction, I pair Dreaming with Meditation activities in terms of their inherent capability of utilizing the unconscious resources.
For someone seeking towards unity (indigo ray energies), the dream state can be specifically utilized for positive service interactions.
"Also upon the list of significant veiled functions of the mind would be that of dreaming. The so-called dreaming contains a great deal which, if made available to the conscious mind and used, shall aid it in polarization to a great extent."
Polarization is about the ability to use catalyst to accept (integrate) portions of Creation, and acknowledge it is as being 'self', ie all part of the One. With greater acceptance comes the greater ability to serve, as one cares for other selves as you would care for aspects of one's one body, an analogy that Ra made in an unrelated reply.
- -
All in all, both these activities of Dreaming and Meditation are rather undervalued by our current society.
When put to applied use, they can be exceptional in providing guidance and direction (and feedback) as to where we are in life, and where we are going on that particular day.

Quote:"14.26 Questioner: When you contact the entities in their dreams and otherwise, these entities, I assume, have to be first seeking in the direction of the Law of One. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. For example, the entities of the nation of Egypt were in a state of pantheism, as you may call the distortion towards separate worship of various portions of the Creator. We were able to contact one whose orientation was towards the One."
This influence is done without need for claiming of a source. What is important is the response (positive) to an entity's seeking:
Quote:Ra: I am Ra. We have used channels such as this one, but in most cases the channels feel inspired by dreams and visions without being aware, consciously, of our identity or existence. This particular group has been accentuatedly trained to recognize such contact. This makes this group able to be aware of a focal or vibrational source of information.
