Is it normal that my dreams are confusing me?

I have always been interested in dream interpretation, I research dream symbols and try to relate them to my waking life. I have especially been doing so lately because I've remembered my dreams clearly. However, I'm a bit confused. I've researched literally every dream symbol I can remember (objects, numbers, colours, etc), but most symbols have both a positive and negative meaning. I'm not sure which one to relate to my life.

Last night I was dreaming of a house I had never been in before. There were cats and kittens running around. They were various colours (grey, orange, multicoloured). All the colours have different meanings. So I wonder if the dream was sending a complex message.

In the past couple weeks, I have had two dreams that my crush liked me back, and one where he didn't like me. What could it mean to have totally opposite dreams?

I've drove myself crazy trying to figure out what my dreams mean. Is it normal that I'm so confused? Or am I reading too much into it?

    A lot of that "dream interpretation" stuff is bullshit!

    Everyone's mind works differently - you don't necessarily think the same way as the next person, and therefore, your dreams may have different meanings.

    The reason that your research turns up a "positive and negative" meaning is because the person that wrote it knows that it's bullshit and purposely made it ambiguous to as to protect themselves from people pointing out that it's wrong.
    That way, they shift the blame to you for choosing the wrong interpretation.

    The only way know what your dreams really mean it to personally interpret them.
    Rather than looking up what those things mean to other people, take some time to think what they mean to you and how it applies to your life.

    If I had to take a random guess, without knowing your situation, I'd say that the various colours may simply represent variety, with no deeper meaning, and that your conflicting dreams about your crush may simply be your subconscious trying to tell you that if you don't act, you'll miss your opportunity.

    for me i will have awesome dreams of me and my crush but sometimes i dont ,like if he hates me or something......it just depends on how you are feeling that day and if your crush ignored you or gave his/her attention to you that day.

    I agree with short4words^ Some dreams are complete non-sense I don't even know why our brain bothers to make those types of dreams up O.o However some dreams will be significant and sooner or later you may realise the answer or you may not. Sometimes it just takes times before something may occur in your life that relates back to the dream you had.

    I would just let the ones that speak to you, stay with you. The others that just seem random or like chatter, I would let them roll off.
