Dreaming Why do we dream? One theory is that we dream to sort through information we have collected and stored during the day. Your brain does this to decide what is important and needs to be remembered and what isn’t as important. It may also be thought that we have dreams to form memories; within dreams we can possibly arrange long-term and short-term memories. Another theory is that dreams reflect our emotions, because during the day our brains make so many different connections. Because everything slows down at night, we aren’t focussed on anything, so something that may have affected us during the day could be weighing on our minds, causing us to dream about it. http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/inside-the-mind/human-brain/why-do-we-dream.htm 23/9/15 @12.00
