Dreams have impact

I wake up from a dream and suddenly the people I saw in the dream somehow appear to matter more than usual. What probably happens is their characteristics get magnified in a certain way so they become more noticeable.
What does this mean or have any significance in our lives. Or is it just the power of dreams and it happens to everyone! The duration of the dream does not matter in a huge way, only the people you see everyday appear in your dream briefly, you wake up and you realize something unusual about them, in a way you would not feel some other day.
The impact though is usually only for that particular day, the following morning you would not feel the same, but maybe about another person, which is not frequent.
Legend has it that dreams have meaning and that thousands of  years ago there used to be people who would interpret dreams, some of them would get accurate almost every time. There were prophets who would do that sometimes exclusively for the kings.
So do all our dreams have meanings or the ones that have an impact on us immediately after the dream?
Scientifically, they don't have meaning and specially don't have future references of events. They are merely a mixture of our memories both hidden and remembered, people in which with whom we can talk to and get response irrespective of our perception and reality(most of the times). Watch Inception by Chris Nolan to get an idea of how that works.
This way, the concept of dreaming will always remain unusual and unpredictive. We can make out whatever we want to.
Therefore, dreams make us realize that  a human mind is always in a conscious state!
