Dreams are like the brain's movie time. When you sleep, your brain is busy working on all the stuff you experienced during the day. It shows you those experiences in a fun way, that’s why they can be strange or exciting. Sometimes dreams help you remember important things or figure out problems you were thinking about.
Examples
- A child dreams about flying after playing with a toy airplane all day.
- Someone dreams of being chased by a dog they were scared of at school.
- You dream about a test you failed even though it was just a small quiz.
