Dreams

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.
