their two types of phases in which r sleep can be divided. REM & NREM. REM stands for rapid eye movement sleep, in this phase we dream. anythin could be responsible for a dream. like a particular activity u were doing before u went to bed, it could be fear or bottled up emotions,anxiety...anything at all. some people try to make out the meaning of a particular dream...like one that keeps reccuring could be related to ur past life.

In all my experiences I've found, even after taking psychology, that our mind holds a series of collective thoughts and experience. Day to day living adds to each and sometimes when we 'eat' before going to bed, it will trigger other chemicals in our bodies to react. This goes for nor-epinephrin to dopeamein.
Everyone experiences a REM cycle during deep sleep. This has been proven in thousands of sleep clinic studies. It's great doing the research on this stuff and very interesting. But don't let the psychologist fool you. There are some people who have dreams that do play out in real life; in other words they have the ability to see the future. Yeah, I know it sounds like TV but it is all too real. Sometimes, however, we are able to see the future in 'metaphores' and not the actual occurance. It is important to attempt to intrepert that metaphore our own way.
What do these people or situations you dream about have to with your life, or lifestyle and what is your own logical mind attempting to tell you.
If you can remember your dreams write them down. As you go though each word or phrase, write down next to it the first thought that enters into your mind without hesitation in wondering if or not it's right. Your subconscious is trying to explain something to you. Do this for about a week or so if you're having recurring dreams and you may just find some answers there that your awake and logical mind could not see on it's own.
The truth is, we have two sides to our brain, the right and left and they don't always work together. So, sometimes answers that we have been seeking are revealed in those dreams. There are also times when confusion and indecision will affect us in ways we do not understand. However, we have the answers we need; we just need to take the time to decipher the true meaning for ourselves. Make sense?

It's an highlighter of the particular happenings and state of mind in your life at a specific time frame, since you started thinking and visualizing world. The dreams has nothing to do with good things or bad things. Shortly speaking it's like a cardiogram report of your heart at certain stages the only thing is you don't get a hard copy. Have a nice day. KU

Well...
There isn't a commonly held idea of what causes dreams...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreams#Neurology_of_dreams
I dimly remember a quote from Stephen King somewhere in his nonfiction book on horror, "Danse Macabre", where - to paraphrase - he describes dreams as the mind's way of cleaning its "mental filter" of the accumulated gunk collected in a day's living, and one of my favorite sci-fi web comics "Freefall"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freefall_%28webcomic%29
specifically:
http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1400/fc01342.htm
has a similar recurring theme that all the robots have to power down to defragment their hard drives or lose the day's memories...dreaming is, to my mind, the same thing, biologically.
Hope that helps...

There is no certain explanation for why we dream while we are asleep. There are two hypothesis about it. The first is the activation-synthesis hypothesis; dreams begin with periodic bursts of spontaneous activity. The second is the Clinico-Anatomical hypothesis. You could into them if you want.

They are the mind's way of amusing itself.
Here is some interesting reading on the purpose of dreams. Conclusion they have none. So if you like them, great remember them. If they disturb you, forget them.
Sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite.

While we are asleep, our involuntary system keeps working. Examples of involuntary systems are digestive system, circulatory system. Mind is also part of an involuntary system. One quality of mind is to visualize. Hence we get dreams. To get a scientific idea of the dreams, do read Sigmund Freud's theory of dreams.

It's a mystery that even the best scientists have yet figured out. That's why we have religion; to "solve" what we can't explain.
