Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker imagines dreams arriving ahead of conscious understanding: an answer appears before its question can be formed. That reversal gives a dream the role of an early insight. Something puzzling now might become meaningful once the dreamer finds words for what they need to ask.
