Dreams are basically stories and images our mind creates while we sleep. Dreams can be vivid. They can make you feel happy, sad, or scared. And they may seem confusing or perfectly rational. Dreams can occur anytime during sleep. But most vivid dreams occur during deep sleep. There are many theories about why we dream, but no one knows for sure. Some people say dreams have no purpose or meaning and are nonsensical activities of the sleeping brain. Others say dreams are necessary for mental, emotional, and physical health. Many people say that dreams exist to help solve problems in our lives, and process emotions. If you go to bed with a troubling thought, you may wake up with a solution, or at least feel better about the situation. There are different types of dreams called lucid dreams. A lucid dream is when a person dreaming is aware that they are dreaming. A lucid dreamer can control what the dream is about and control his actions inside the dream, such as flying like a superhero or exploring an imaginary land. Researchers are still curious till this day on why we even still dream.
