Yes dreams have a language of their own. It is with practice that one begins to decipher them. Of course there are a lot of dreams that are like the useless chatter of people, random impressions that come up in sleep, or suppressed emotions and twisted wishes that the mind throws up in forms. Mind can easily do it because it is the primary form maker. These have hardly much significance except for showing us what we have suppressed within.
But there are some dreams that rise from deeper subliminal parts where some work is going on or come down from the higher realms indicating the future trying to manifest. These help us understand ourselves better, aid in the working of the benevolent cosmic forces, or deflect the action of the darker forces, even preventing sometimes an imminent catastrophe. The language is largely symbolic with images that convey meanings, for instance, mountains for physical ascension, trains for journey, airplanes for swift transitions etc. There are both traditional and modern symbols that one can learn.
But understanding others is a little tricky subject. Our mind and emotions are often coloured and biased in certain ways. We often project and see in others a shadow of our own desires. Besides judging others is a terrible business. It is best to see the Divine in all but act according to the truth of the Divine unfolding within us. Our actions should not be guided by what others are or feel and think about us, but by what we ourselves sense as the impulsion of Truth within our inmost heart.
Affectionately,
