Unlocking the Mystery of Dreams: Science and Psychology Explain Why We Dream

• Dreams are the brain's 'data management' system, consolidating important information and discarding unnecessary data during sleep.
• Psychologists suggest dreams process intense emotions, releasing stress, anxiety, or suppressed desires to maintain mental balance.
• REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep is crucial for dreams, with the brain as active as in a waking state, leading to clearer dream recall.
• Dreams can aid in problem-solving, as the subconscious mind works on unresolved issues during sleep, inspiring discoveries.
• Some experts believe dreams are a 'threat simulation' rehearsal, preparing the brain to recognize and respond to future challenges.
