Why Do We Dream?

Every night, your mind creates entire stories while you sleep but why do we

dream? For centuries, people thought dreams were messages or predictions but science

sees it differently. When you dream, your brain’s emotion and memory centers light up while

logic areas quiet down. Dreams may help your brain process emotions,

organize memories, and prepare you for challenges. You usually dream several times a

night but forget most dreams within minutes of waking up! So even if

dreams feel random, they’re your brain’s way of staying balanced and creative.
