Answer 2

Dreams are kinda beyond all of us in a way. I saw a special on National Geographic recently that said they found that dreaming was like the brain's way of figuring out what needed to be dumped from the RAM to the hard drive.

It's a place to hash out stress and work out the solutions to problems.

Sometimes, I think it's a way for God to spell things out to us. But it really depends-- these dreams are quite a bit more rare.

But the brain can't really understand itself, which is why so much of sleeping and dreaming is under study. Interesting stuff!
