In other words, you are making decisions at random rather than having any evidence to sway you one way or the other.

It might be wise to invest more time and effort in making informed decisions in future rather than leaving them to chance.

The dream could also act as a metaphor for the ‘last straw’- perhaps you have endured a situation for too long and you’ve finally had enough and reached your breaking point.
