Why do we dream during sleep?
Science has made great progress in deepening our understanding of dreams. Still, there is no answer to the question:
Why do we dream during sleep?
I thought a lot about this question and whenever i read i didn't get anything!
Is the dream a real thing we live?! or just a wasting time during sleep. If we all thought about dreams, we will get different opinions. However, the most important part of this topic is "What is the THING that causes dreams?! "
I believe that everything in this life has a positive impact on us, but i never knew the benefits of dreams! let's assume that the dreams have benefits, so why we dream it during sleeping only! Can we consider it as an organic DMT pill ?! I think the people who are trying DMT to reach the peak of Happiness and live situations that don't exist, they can reach this point during sleeping, so it's the same idea.
Did anyone tried to link imagination of dreams with the reality of life ?.. so if the LIFE is a DREAM, So we are living in a story and is gonna end when we die. Also one of the most questions that in my mind is "Why am i dreaming this specific dream in this day?! ".People say that dreams are based on our subconscious, Ok! so when we are dreaming 'Imaginary Dreams', what were we thinking about ?!... For me, the relation between subconscious and dreams is not strong enough and we can't consider it the main cause. Most of the kids think that there is someone choosing their dreams every day! Maybe because the adults escape answering this question. Anyway, the topic has lots of questions that i didn't get any answer.
I won't give up to search for an answer to satisfy me so please, Share your knowledge.
I always thought dreaming is a part of processing your experiences. Besides that it can help you think about dangers situations and how to handle them in case you are experiencing these situations in real life instead of a dream...
This is a good point i never thought about it, but also i think that the main cause of dreams is little different, because sometimes the dream is totally different than the real life and will never happen, i think your opinion is part of the truth but there is something missing which everyone only assume depends on their religious views or culture..
I agree with @skririm, and also sometimes the dreams are the same to everybody or especially every kid, like Flying the same way as swimming or Falling from the top and wake up before hitting the floor, or when you scream out loud of fear and no voice heard. I think they are common dreams to everyone
I always thoughts dreams are from the subconscious also i don't know anything more! please keep us posted if you found anything new ! and Great topic good job
Maybe we can imagine that our subconscious is THE MAN who chose the dream for us when we were kids :D
