Why do we (humans) dream?

Question

Answer 1

because we don't use our brains enough when we are awake

Answer 2

our brain can't turn off when we sleep (that would be called dying) so it just plays through the memories it has in us, and keeps all of its "inputs" working....

also, when you dream, everything you "see" or "hear" or whatever, is actually passing through your nerves, even though there's no real image in front of your eyes for example, you still really are seeing it, not imagining it....

Dreams are the images, thoughts and feelings experienced while asleep, particularly strongly associated with rapid eye movement sleep. The contents and biological purposes of dreams are not fully understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is known as oneirology.
