Answer 3

Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you.  ~Marsha Norman

I am not sure why we do dream, but i suppose its a good thing.When we dream we are actually letting our subconscious mind take us where we always want to go but we don't because of fear... for whatever reason. Sometimes we dream weird things which make no sense at all but sometimes our dreams guide us towards the future. Thats just my belief..

Sweet dreams! ☺

Answer 4

I really dont know but from what I understand its a way of our mind sorting the days things out.

My theory is that the subconcious uses what we see and the emotions we expirience to tell us somethng. I have been having a lot of dreams lately. Really weird ones too and sometimes what worries me more is the emotions I have when I wake up from them.

When I think about it long enough I realise that the dream is trying to tell me somethng about my life that im not aware is affecting me. Positevely or negatively.

Answer 5

No one actually knows why people dream. Doctors have theories though. One theory that doctors have is: When you are at school, home, or somewhere, there are so many things that are going on that you don't think about during the day, night, etc. When you sleep, in other words dream, you think about all of the things that have happened. Also, during the day or night, if you are worried or upset, or feeling something about someone, something, etc., it all comes out. You think/ dream about it when asleep.
