How do you know if a dream is spiritual, or just a reflection of the things on your mind?

They can be both.
Dreams allow you to put the experiences of the day into perspective of what you already know/experienced.
Don't arbitrarily trust a dream though-- you need to ask yourself if something got "miss-filed" by your brain.
But, if you have had spiritual experiences in the past-- dreams are a great way to "re-live" it, from a different perspective.
My wife hates her dreams. I have a hard time empathizing, I think dreams are neato

I agree with Rage4Christ.
I think dream are important on a psychological level because they allow us to express things that we might not otherwise be able to.
Most dreams, I think, are just the result of the General Tso's you had before you went to bed.
I can't really tell you how to tell if they are spiritual dreams or not, except to caution you not to fall into the trap that a lot of people do and make everything some profound spiritual experience.
If you do think that it's a dream from God, then remember, as in all things, test it by the word of God. The Bible is our final authority. If it doesn't fit with scripture, then just let it go.

I like when I can remember my dreams, because they are usually profound and interestingly odd.
I had one a few months ago, that is still sticks out in my head. Even now, when I think of it, I am put at ease. I'm trying to tell myself it was just wishful thinking, but part of me wonders if God was letting me know everything will turn out fine, and I will be happy.
I've prayed for more answers on this, and I've told God that I'm thinking this is a good sign from Him and if it isn't, to tell me otherwise so I'm not disappointed later. A few dreams along this line have followed, and these messages were more about persistence and patience...like this thing will happen, but I have to wait some more.
For the most part, I don't think my dreams have hidden messages in them...just this one. The fact that I had a couple dreams on it after I prayed only intensifies my thoughts that there was more to that one dream than General Tso's Chicken
