The dreams list in the Lexicon is great.  The only dream I can recall 
that is missing is Harry's dream after the Quiddich World Cup in 
which Bagman says, "I give you . . . . Potter!"  I'll spare you all a 
repeat of my theory that this dream shows that Bagman was in on the 
plot to transport Harry to Voldemort with the Cup Portkey.  (Oops, 
that just slipped out!)

Another quasi-dream is when Harry learns in PoA that Sirius betrayed 
his parents.  He lies on his bed and imagines what happened, and he 
visualizes Neville as Peter Pettigrew.  I don't know if this rises to 
the level of a "dream", but it sure has me concerned about Neville's 
loyalty to Harry.

But the one dream I can't make sense of is Harry's dream in PoA 
before the Quiddich final in which Neville plays seeker and the 
Slytherins ride dragons.  Does anyone have a theory?  It would be odd 
indeed if the other dream sequences have hidden meaning, but that 
this one is just a plain old bad dream.
