I am not a brain surgeon or a neurologist, but from what I understand, the subconcsious mind has alot to do with our concsious mind, and vice versa, and that our memories of physical and emotional experiences can be accessed easily by both concsious and subconscious. Dreams, the way that I percieve them, are made up of memories and extremely minute consciousness, so memories are played out on a seemingly concsious level. Dont look at the word Memories as full events, if u experience anything, it goes into memory, like the touch of grass or the smell or roses, you know, physical experience, and emotional experience is also stored in memory. Now, what may be happening here is you see yourself being successful, and on a concsious level you may have the attitude and potential to be successful, so you may percieve yourself within your dream as you feel outside your dreams. As for the roaches, this may be indicative of obstacles that are none too difficult to get over, and may be a fear of either roaches in a non-abstract meaning or as roaches on an abstract level as fear of such problems slowing your success.
