Answer 3

We have dreams and nightmares, because when you enter the third stage of sleep, you begin to relax and your mind thinks of thinks that you either have done in the past or the things that you have seen in a movie, they are only figments of the images you have seen during your life and are stored in the back of your mind, then when you sleep your mind kinda puts those into perspective.
Good Luck!!

A dream is the experience of envisioned images, voices, or other sensations during sleep. Dreams often portray events which are impossible or unlikely in physical reality, and are usually outside the control of the dreamer, (except in the case of lucid dreaming, breaking the suspension of disbelief and realizing they are dreaming—being sometimes even capable of changing the oneiric reality around them and controlling various aspects of the dream). Dreamers may experience strong emotions while dreaming, and frightening or upsetting dreams are referred to as nightmares. The scientific discipline of dream research is oneirology.

In antiquity, dreams were thought to be part of the supernatural world, and were seen as messages from the gods. It was common for leaders to take dream-oracles to battles to receive their advice and guidance.

Likewise, the holy books Torah (known in Christianity as the first 5 books of the Old Testament) and Koran both tell the same story of Joseph, who was given the power to interpret dreams and act accordingly. Some sources also state that like Joseph, many other prophets were described to have a stronger affinity to interpret the images in their dreams to lead the people around them.

This continued into the Early Middle Ages. A story from Nevers, which is reproduced in the Golden Legend, states that one night the Emperor Charlemagne dreamed that he was saved of dying from a wild boar during a hunt. He was saved by the appearance of a child, who had promised to save the emperor from death if he would give him clothes to cover his nakedness. The bishop of Nevers interpreted this dream to mean that he wanted the emperor to repair the roof of the cathedral dedicated to the boy-saint Saint Cyricus.

In the Later Middle Ages, dreams were seen as temptations from the Devil, and thus were seen as dangerous.

However in India, scholars such as Charaka (300 BC) gave alternative explanations for the reasons behind dream. In Charaka Samhita, the explanation of dreams is as follows : "The cause of dreams are seven. They are what you have seen, heard, experienced, wish to experience, forced to experience, imagined and by the inherent nature of the body".

In the later 19th century according the theories of Sigmund Freud, dreams were a reflection of human desires and were prompted by external stimuli.

Answer 5

Dreams are manifestations of the subconscious dealing with, rearranging, and presenting information to your waking mind. Dreams can often time reflect fears and anxieties. They can also bring to light new observations...sometimes they are simply the leftover information that not even your subconscious knows what to do with... so they can be fun, entertain and a little spooky...well even pretty damn scary.
