Why do we dream? I'm not so interested as to what makes it happen, but what's the purpose of it? Like every part of the body is there for a reason (the ears on the side of the head so you can hear behind you for example) but as far as i can tell, there is no point to dreams... they just leave you more confused than when you fell asleep. They can be nice though .

It goes through things that happedned that days and they get slightly morphed.


I made a club called The-Club-of-people-who-bash-their-heads-on-the-hoods-of-cars

Who wants to join?

Yeah but what about the completely random ones? Lol, I suppose it's just one of those things... give me your views anyway, people

My dreams are never remotely what happened that day.



I'm all I'll ever be and all I can do is try...

two different schools of thought exist as to why we dream: the physiological school, and the psychological school.

both, however, agree that we dream during the REM, or "rapid eye movement", phase of sleep. during this phase of sleep, our closed eyes dart rapidly about, our brain activity peaks, and our muscles suffer temporary paralysis.

the physiological theory centers upon how our body, specifically our brains, function during the REM phase of sleep. proponents of this theory believe that we dream to exercise the synapses, or pathways, between brain cells, and that dreaming takes over where the active and awake brain leaves off. when awake, our brains constantly transmit and receive messages, which course through our billions of brain cells to their appropriate destinations, and keep our bodies in perpetual motion. dreams replace this function.

two underpinning physiological facts go towards supporting this theory of dreams. the first lies in the fact that the first two or so years of ones life, the most formative ones for learning, are also the ones in which the most REM sleep occurs. it follows that during this time of the greatest REM sleep, we experience the greatest number of dreams. the second physiological fact that lends credence to this theory is that our brain waves during REM sleep, as recorded by machines measuring the brain's electrical activity, are almost identical in nature to the brain waves during the hours we spend awake. this is not the case during the other phases of sleep.

psychological theorists of dreams focus upon our thoughts and emotions, and speculate that dreams deal with immediate concerns in our lives, such as unfinished business from the day, or concerns we are incapable of handling during the course of the day. dreams can, in fact, teach us things about ourselves that we are unaware of.

connections between dreams that the human psyche have been made by many people over thousands of years. the famous greek philosopher, aristotle wrote in his "parva naturalia," over 2,200 years ago, of a connection between dreams, waking experiences, and emotional needs.

others have delved into more complicated explanations for dreams, such as the prophetic nature of dreams written of in the bible, which was and is a belief held by many cultures. sigmund freud, one of the fathers of modern psychology, believed dreams to be symbolic of any number of things buried deep within our minds and our memories.

until someone proves or disproves one of these theories, or poses an alternate one, we are left at square one. our knowledge as to what causes us to dream is limited to the fact that we do dream, and that dreams occur during the REM phase of sleep.

Not sure, I hate when you sleeping and you get the I think I was just pushed off a cliff feeling!! it scares the SHIT out of me.

Everyday, I find that I can't wait to fall asleep so that I can dream. My dreams are always surreal and strange and usually the same. I am either wandering in big commercial type buildings, or dark hallways in apartment type buildings, or a hospital type setting. There are always either elevators or stairwells(either the stairs are very deep and hard to climb and descend or else they have crazy formations). Sometimes I am wandering about in the streets(which are either abandoned or full of life) or driving(with the same scenario).

actually there are two things in the body that are considered useless as of now ... Apendex, and wisdom teeth... any who .. i like dreams

some people believe that things that you see in dreams is your subconscious mind trying to pa** data along to your conscious mind. things your subconscious mind has picked up on, but your conscious mind couldn't because of all the things your senses are picking up at the time.
