Incase you were wondering what is a dream?  it is a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep. In continuation of my previous blog which was based on dreams ,the question why do we dream came to mind so i did some research.

Scientists have been performing sleep and dream studies for decades now, and we still aren't 100 percent sure about the function of sleep, or exactly how and why we dream. We do know that our 

dream cycle is typically most abundant and best remembered during the REM stage of sleep.

 It's also pretty commonly accepted among the 
scientific community that we all dream, though the frequency in which dreams are remembered varies from person to person.


The question of whether dreams actually have a physiological, biological or psychological function has yet to be answered. But that hasn't stopped scientists from researching and speculating

There is some research to back up the ideas that dreams are tied to how we form memories. Studies indicate that as we're learning new things in our waking hours, dreams increase while we sleep. Participants in a dream study who were taking a language course showed more dream activity than those who were not. In light of such studies, the idea that we use our dreams to sort through and convert short-term memories into long-term memories has gained some momentum in recent years.So with all this research being done maybe one day we will find out what our dreams really mean questions will be answered like are they physical or are they emotional are they the past or the future .
