Why do we dream? While it’s a simple enough question there isn’t any clear answer. There are many theories but none have been proven. Then again scientists have only just figured out the purpose of sleep.
One theory of why we dream is that we are processing memories without making our emotions aroused and to assure we do not suffer any trauma. Another theory is that they are representations of unconscious thoughts and desires releasing. One of my favorite theories is that dreams are a sort of clean up in the brain. Getting rid of all the clutter is basically what that means.
Another interesting theory is that dreaming is a sort of psychotherapy so we can understand and process things in a safe environment away from threats. One of the newest theories is that he activation of the brain makes these weird connection and then it is led by the dreamer’s emotions.
