It is often easy to dismiss an odd dream as the result of too much pizza, but there are times that the dreams may be from God and continue to make you wonder what they meant. This is not a new thing, back in the bible days of Joseph, it was not uncommon for someone to have a dream that they would ask for interpretation of by others. There is little harm in asking for as dream to be interpreted, however, I would highly recommend praying over any answer given, and not to take someone's opinion as fact, for humans fail from time to time.
There can be humorous ideas involved..."I dreamed I was eating a giant marshmallow, and when I woke up my pillow was gone." However, there are times that God is sending us information we need, while requiring us to use a little effort to gain access to it.
I recently had a dream in which I was very impatient and rude, and my final question in the dream was asked to the person I was being quite mean to when it was said that the owner was coming. I asked well, who does he think he is? God? There was no answer from the person, but his eyes seamed to say, "Well, as a matter of fact, yes." The entire next day was quite difficult in several situations, and where I was allowing myself to be offended sometimes without good cause I was instead reminded to be patient and kind. I think God meant for me to be a better behaving person, and the memory of the dream helped me. It was not really interpreted, I suppose, but I did gain a benefit anyway.
Whatever we do in word or deed, we need to remember that God takes it personally, as though said or done to Him. He is the one that rewards the good and disciplines the bad, He is the judge of all.
Dan 1:17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

Act 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
Jdg 7:15 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
