Why Do We Dream and What Do Our Dreams Mean?

Imagine your brain is like a storyteller that never sleeps. Even when you're asleep, it keeps making up stories, and those are your dreams! Scientists think these stories help your brain organize the day’s events, make sense of emotions, or even prepare you for what might happen tomorrow. Some people believe dreams can tell us about our feelings, fears, or hidden wishes. It's like your brain is having a little party while you're sleeping.
