Dreams Essay, Research Paper

Dreams, why do we dream. I thing we dream because we are thinking while we are

sleeping and our brain puts those thought into a weird movie in our head. Some

people think dreams are the keys to lifes problem. They say in your dreams there

are symbolic things that mean something different. I don?t know about all that

but it has some truth behind it. In the dream journal I had a whole bunch of

dreams that didn?t make much sense. They are hard to write down. But in my day

dream journal I can usually control my day dreams, and they make more sense. My

day dreams and night dreams are not the same at all because my day dreams make

sense and my night dreams don?t. Like for example, in my day dream journal I

basically dream about stuff I would like to do. But in my night dreams I do a

bunch of stuff that I would never do. As for the theories that explain why we

dream I don?t think the books really apply to mine because my dreams are weird

and make no sense. I think that when I go to sleep my brain is still awake, and

it is sending off thoughts at random. And then it puts them together to try to

make sense of it. Sometimes it makes sense, but usually they end up all messed

up. In conclusion I feel that we dream because our brains send off thoughts at

random while we sleep and out brains put those thoughts into a movie, that for

me never makes sense. My day dreams are nothing like my night dreams, because my

day dreams are more realistic and make sense and my night dreams don?t.
