Dreams are like stories our brains tell us while we sleep. Sometimes they’re silly, sometimes scary, and sometimes they make you laugh when you wake up. Scientists think dreams help us sort out the day’s events and remember important things.
Why We Dream
While we sleep, our brain is still working hard. It’s like cleaning up all the things we saw, heard, and felt during the day. Dreams might be part of this process, they help our brains keep important memories and forget unimportant ones.
What Dreams Mean
Dreams can mean different things to different people. Some say they show what you’re thinking about or feeling deep down. Others think dreams are just random stories your brain makes up while you sleep.
Examples
- You dream about flying because you were playing a video game all day.
- You have a dream that your teacher is dancing at the park, maybe you saw them walking there earlier.
- You wake up after dreaming about being chased by a dog, even though you just met that dog today.
