Do you have 90% meaningless dreams? Do you think 50% have deeper meaning?

So, it depends how we're counting. I don't usually think of a dream again unless I've had it at least twice; so do we count recurring dreams as one dream or do we count every iteration of a recurring dream separately?

If the former, something like 10%; if the latter, something like 60%.

I think it's up to you. My experience with repeated dreams is a lot like watching the same movie twice.

So like, you appreciate it more and notice details you missed the first time around?

Yeah, having the same dream twice helps me see the whole story and solidify the feeling it gives me.
