why do we dream?

Answer 1

to get rid of useless garbage

Answer 2

if you accept freudian theories, it is the subconscious filtering through to the pre-conscious (i think or maybe the consciousitself - any professionals want to correct me?). basically we only have a small amount of information filter through to our conscious in the daytime and we also repress things that we haven't time or the emotional capability to deal with. this information shows itself in dreams, either as a literal representation or something more abstract that must be analysed. some dreams are not things that need to be dealt with, they are just random memories or thoughts etc.
i'm trying to lucid dream which is when you try and realise when you are dreaming which enables you to do whatever you like in the dream and control it! it's proven to be possible according to studies. pretty cool but i haven't achievd it yet!

Answer 3

We only dream of what we have seen and heard of that day for eg. Did you hear about Bob? Who's Bob? You know that boy you used to go to school with. You will dream about Bob.

But if you see a lot more things and hear about more things your brain mixes it all up and if you see a horror film and hear about Bob you have dream about Bob trying to kill you or something.
It's kinda complicated but it's easy to understand once you know what I'm speaking about I hope this helps :)

Answer 4

Scientist are still working on that but we are dreaming to resolve and satisfy our ego from the experience that we lived in daily life.

Alter ego and ego records different captures of moments in daily life according to our values, ethics, fears, other emotions... etc.

During the sleep, these captures or moments reach above from alter ego to ego.

As you may know, all of us dream in every sleep, but we remember the ones according to our self peace and comfort.

Another information; According to stats, women dream more than man...

Answer 5

i think we dream because its a way for our minds to release and show us what they are trying to make us see or acknowledge. almost as if when you are dreaming, youre mind isnt part of your body. as if your soul communicates with your mind and imagination to come up with ways to show your body the morals and clues you will need for your future. so an example would be if you drempt about that you were a host on a talk show (i.e. ellen degeneres) it wouldn't mean that you were going to become a talk show host in the future but maybe that your peers look up tp you and depend on you for answers and advice. so in conclusion, dreams are not their content dreams are their morals. i hope i helped !!!!!! :)

Answer 6

we dream for entertainment! actually, the brain still works even when we are sleeping, so it goes over the past events that happened that day, so what you dream is related to what you did that day i suppose.
