Dreams are not about the subject that seem to treat

If you dream about some particular subject it is not often that the dream is really about it. Dreams tell us in a deeply symbolic language. The conscious mind tries to compare your dream to another situation or something similar. It's like an analogy in poetry that says that ants are like machines that never stop. In a dream you never compare something with the same thing, as in poetry, for example: "That beautiful sunset, the sun was like a beautiful sunset, the sun." So whatever symbol your dream choice is very unlikely that the purpose of dreams is the symbol itself.
