Not so much a physical reason as a psychological one; many people believe dreams are your brain's way of resorting and organizing thoughts and sensations you experienced during your waking hours, taking out the trash, so to speak. It's also a way your subconscious is able to mull over the day's events and assign meaning to them -- was there anything noteworthy and worth remembering in detail later, or was it just a dull day with nothing worth thinking about other than things happened? Some also believe that, in addition to processing all that data, the dream portions of your sleep cycle are when short-term memories are most concretely transferred to long-term memory.
Because many of your dreams actually originate in the visual cortex of the brain, you actually experience them as visual stimuli. As a result, if your level of consciousness at the time allows you to remember any of your dreams, they do indeed have an impact on real life -- if you had a nightmare about something you're feeling guilty about on a subconscious level, it's a way your brain informs your conscious mind there's something you should be thinking about and perhaps correcting.

Your brain is really quite active when you sleep. A dream is simply your brain trying to make sense of various events, images, and emotions that you've experienced throughout the day and in the past. You can usually figure out a dream's meaning simply by analyzing what is in it, how you felt while it was happening, and how it might relate to your own mental state. For example, if you dream of wandering through lots of rooms and corridors, it could mean you feel lost, or there's something you're looking for and can't find, or you're not sure where to settle down. A library might mean a search for knowledge, a desire to know someone better...or maybe you just like to read! Dreaming of a deceased relative or friend probably means simply that you miss that person... I never once dreamed of my mother until after she died. :o( I have also had dreams of huge, silver-colored fish, and I still haven't figured that one out!

Yes, there is a scientific reason about dreaming what you dream. You dream what your mind tells you is important during the day, such as certain topics that may stress you out. You only dream during the deepest sleep called REM sleep, so you aren't dreaming the entire time you are asleep, in fact you may not even dream at all. If the dreams are just bizarre its probabley just your imagination having fun with you.

Hello, Mr. President!
I'm not sure about the scientific reason, but many dreams are significant, and they can have different purposes. I encourage people to write down their dreams as soon as they wake up. Some dreams may have great significance to our lives once we understand them. Dreams can help explain our destiny, point out areas of our lives that need correction, encourage us, give direction, tell us about future events, provide warnings... Some very famous compositions, inventions, and other creations actually came to people in dreams.

Dreams...heavy sh*t for certain

Significance of dreams:
Scientifically:
Some really cruel-sounding studies have been performed where animals (human or otherwise) were deprived of dream states, ie awoken when they began to dream, and after a period (days, weeks, months - dunno) said animals were rendered insane. Yes insane. Out of whatever quantifiable information that was gleaned from such a bizarre experiment, it seems obvious that the act of dreaming is a natural mechanism necessary for maintaining mental balance.
Spiritually:
At the bare minimum, dreams are the vehicle driven by inspiration. Just ask Anne Wilson - find a Heart song where arguably the best voice in the world doesn't mention dreams...:)
Some, myself included, would contend that dreams often bear foretellings of events to come and/or other insights one may encounter in the act of separation from the physical body....
Beta state - awake and alert
Alpha state - a point of sublime relaxation, essentially meditative in nature
Theta state - deeper relaxation, usually marked by a free-flow of ideas, and known as the point where out-of-body experiences are most likely to occur, also known for lucid dreaming potential
Delta state - Sleep state, full relaxation, near zero mental activity
Delta state with theta spikes - Dream state/REM - perfect scenario for unconscious OOB's and/or journeys outside the realm of the physical.
Our spirit travels every night while we sleep.
Possibilities are boundless.

No one quite knows what dreams are for, it's still somewhat of a mystery. The most popular theory is that it's a sort of stress relief mechanism for the brain. One thing that's interesting to note is that your body becomes paralyzed while you dream. It makes sense, because otherwise you'd be flailing about, you body doing everything it's doing in the dream.

some scientist think that dreams are a way to sort the days' events in your memory. this kinda makes sense bc those same people say that when you have dreams they happen right before you either end or begin a REM cycle. and whether you have a dream depends on how hard it is for your subconcience memory to "process" what happened.
others say that dreams are your subconscience sending messages to your conscience.
others even say that dreams are a form of self therapy.

Dreams help calm your mind, and figure things out. I have heard of lots of people that hold in their anger, having violent dreams, I feel that helps them get rid of their anger. They say people with multiple personality disorder don't dream, maybe that explains why they hid being different personalities.
Dreams can be spiritual in nature, telling you something to avoid, or telling you something you have done wrong, and some dreams are caused by going to bed after eating beans. Most dreams are just that, and have no meaning, but I am conscience of my dreams, and keep in mind they could be telling me something important.

dreams come from the sub-concuss, they are the brain taking a walk when we sleep. we dream to keep from going insane, if we don't we have been known to go insane without them. so they do have an impact on life.
this is the brief explanation.

for the time of sleep the eyes are closed, so as that the mind to three degree turns into remoted from the exterior international. besides all signals from the senses (except olfaction) might want to go by skill of the thalamus earlier they attain the mind cortex, and through sleep thalamic interest is suppressed.[2e74f10e0327ad868d138f2b4fdd6f02e74f10e0327ad868d138f2b4fdd6f0] this signifies that the mind truly works with signals from itself. a nicely-widespread phenomenon in dynamical actual platforms the position the point of enter and output from the equipment is low is that oscillation makes spontaneous resonance kinds to take position. subsequently, desires may be the straightforward outcome of neural oscillation. different hypotheses on dreaming there are a mode of alternative hypotheses about the functionality of desires, mutually with: desires enable the repressed aspects of the concepts to be satisfied by skill of fable even as holding the unsleeping concepts from concepts that would abruptly reason one to evoke from marvel. Freud stated that undesirable desires enable the mind study a thanks to achieve administration over emotions because of distressing reports. Jung stated that desires would capture up on one-sided attitudes held in waking expertise. Ferenczi proposed that the dream, even as advised, would communicate something that isn't being stated outright. desires regulate mood. Hartmann says desires would functionality like psychotherapy, by using "making connections in a secure position" and permitting the dreamer to combine concepts which will be dissociated for the time of waking existence. extra contemporary study by using psychologist Joe Griffin, following a twelve-year evaluate of information from all significant sleep laboratories, further about the formula of the expectancy fulfilment theory of dreaming, which signifies that dreaming metaphorically completes kinds of emotional expectation interior the autonomic frightened equipment and lowers pressure degrees in mammals.
