In the 3rd millennium BCE, Mesopotamian kings recorded and interpreted their dreams on wax tablets. In the years since, we haven’t paused in our quest to understand why we dream. And while we still don’t have any definitive answers, we have some theories. Amy Adkins reveals the top seven reasons why we might dream.

  1. Not sure why they happen but dreams help me understand myself better. Especially repeating dreams. I dream of desires and nightmares of problems. Dreams let me know what is important to me even though sometimes I try to convince myself of something different.

  2. We sleep to remember
    We sleep to forget
    We sleep for fulfillment
    We sleep to regret
    We sleep to solve problems
    We sleep to experience traumas

    But when it comes down to it, we probably just sleep to clear toxins out of our cerebral fluid and dreaming is just be a side effect that our subconscious took advantage of to do maintenance physically and mentally

  3. i have seen the same dream over the years,or i have seen the continue of a dream that had been interrupted..how is this possible?

  4. Last time I was dreaming that I was working for two friends of mine, those friend had a mobile midwifery. So we helped pregnant women to deliver at home. Butat the same time the midwifery service was also a mobile catering service, so after delivering the babies we also organised a full buffet.

  5. I used to have to pee so bad during sleep that my brain was giving me nightmares so I can wake up and used the toilet as my bladder was hurting bad. Many times. But years ago when I was drinking excessively, water, before bedtime.

  6. Where and what is a mind? Why do atoms create emotions and unobservable thoughts? If we are not our minds and bodies, then what are we?

  7. לדעתי שירים, סרטים, סדרות טלוויזיה ומשחקי מחשב הם מיתוסים בסגנון של פרוייד, קרל יונג ונח יובל הררי

  9. Psychologist: Your dreams represent your base desires and instincts
    Me: Taking notes

  10. Is it just my dream or it's common to everybody seeing a city or village again and again that doesn't actually exist in real life or you have never been to there in real life. But you actually know the map of the city/ village so well that everytime you dream that city/place you know the roads. And every time I dream I already know what's gonna happen next or whats ahead! I donno if it's normal!

  11. To me it seems like your Bain is reinforcing the neurons used in creating memories by running electric shocks through them and when we're dreaming we pick up on that as a dream….. One of the reasons I feel this way is because when you go to sleep thinking about something specific, you have a dream about it, like echoes of the thought in your dreams.

  12. HOPE 🕊IN 🕊LOVE 🌹🌹🌹🙂
    Salvation is found in no one else, no other name under heaven given among men where by we must be saved.
