What you see, what you experience, what you think and what you feel throughout

your day will somehow find its way out through your dreams and will get you
thinking about the importance of what you saw. The questions, "Why do we
dream?" or "What is the function of dreaming?" are easy to ask but very difficult to
answer. The most honest answer is that we do not know yet the function of
dreaming.

There are several different theories describe why do we dream. We can divide
them into two groups of theories: psychological and physiological. Among the first
group stand out the theory that was proposed by Freud. He thought that Dreams
can be an expression of our desires, thinking and motivations. He told that from a
psychological perspective, every human has some unfulfilled desires or desires that
they constantly suppress during their conscious state of mind, but after sleeping
their pseudo consciousness takes over and all suppressed thoughts find their way
out in the form of dream. But Freud had little understanding of the REM sleep
cycles - and modern day dream research has pointed us to a number of other
theories of dreaming.

Physiological group of theories proposed by Allan Hobson and Robert McClarley

focuses on the function of neurochemicals in the brain. They suggest that during
the REM sleep, the brain becomes active which causes the areas of the limbic
system responsible for emotions, sensations and memories to become active as
well. The brain processes and interprets the internal activity of the brain and tries
to find meaning which in turn results in dreaming. Hence, dreams are merely a
subjective interpretation of signals generated in the brain during sleep. But dreams
are not without meaning or significance. Dreaming is our most creative conscious
state, in which information is configured to produce new ideas.

Dream research offers many theories - but still no definitive or unifying answer to
the question: why do we dream?

фокусируется на функцию нейрохимических в головном мозге. Они

предполагают, что во время парадоксального сна, мозг становится активным,
что приводит к области лимбической системы, ответственной за эмоции,
ощущения и воспоминания, чтобы стать активными, а также. Процессы мозга
и интерпретирует внутреннюю активность мозга и пытается найти значение,
которое в свою очередь, приводит в сновидении. Следовательно, сны
являются всего лишь субъективная интерпретация сигналов, генерируемых в
мозге во время сна. Но мечты не лишены смысла и значения. Мечтать наше
самое творческое состояние сознания, в котором информация
конфигурируется для формирования новых идей.
