WHY DO WE DREAM? 

Our dreams mistify us and often leave us waking up confused, disoriented, frightened or perhaps very satisfied. 

Our dreams represent unconscious wishes that we're afraid to express in our walking life. According to activation-sythensis model, dreams are stories that we create out of random stimulation that occurs in the brain while we sleep.

The updated activation integration modulation model (AIM) proposes that dreams reflect the activities of region of the brain at a particular moment as well as activity of particular neurotransmitters. 

This neuroscience explanation regards the stories we make up as reflecting, in part, our hidden desires, but they are not primarily products of represented wishes.

  1. Am I right if I think that our constant thoughts about something leads to dreaming that particular something?

  2. You're right. (CONSTANT) thoughts lead to dreams. Dreams are thoughts. When you're dreaming, you're Thinking But in a much deeper and focused level than when you're awake.
    Think about it, when you go to sleep and the lights are off, your eyes are closed and the world around you is shut out. There are no distractions. The mind doesn't stop working at this point.
    Whatever your stream of thought is as you drift off continues and begins to go inward.
    As you're conscious, waking, literal mind slips into a state of rest, your deep inner mind slips into a state of rest, your deeper inner subconscious mind takes over.

    1. Our dreams show us how to handle specific problems . Through our dreams we speak to ourselves about what was going on in our lives. How we guide ourselves through difficult situations and how we point ourselves to what we truly want to live the life we are meant to live.

    1. Not everyone remembers their dreams and forgetting dreams is completely normal in overall brain health and functioning. Memories of our dreams quickly fade. Dreams tend to occur during Rapid Eye Movement (REM) cycle of sleep. With reference from professor of Psychiatry at Tufts School of Medicine, states that we forget almost all dreasms after waking up . The forgetfulness is generally attributed to neurochemical conditions in the brain that occur during REM sleep.

    1. 🤣🤣🤣its because you put too much thought about money (million) end up dreaming about it and feel disturbed when you realize the whole time you were dreaming.

    2. As much as our dreams are influenced by our thoughts, how is it that those dreams become true at some point in life? For example, someone could dream of the death of their friend, and that friend dies just the way it was dreamt.
