Dreams are a product of the brain creating a story in response to outside stimuli. Dreams can be pleasant, or they can be nightmares. The content of a dream is often related to what is going on in a person’s life. Dreams can be a way for the brain to process information and work through problems.<\/p>\n

The brain creates dreams by creating a story line from the information it receives while a person is asleep. The story line is created by the person’s thoughts, emotions, and memories.<\/p>\n

How does my brain make dreams? <\/h2>\n

Dreams are a way for our brain to process memories and sort through information. The hippocampus helps to store memories and track the connections between brain cells. During sleep, the hippocampus directs neurons to replay recollections which helps to facilitate long-term storage. This could be why reality sometimes seeps into our dreams. However, this does not explain why dreams often warp reality.<\/p>\n

There is growing evidence that dreams are generated by networks in the brain similar to those involved in recalling memories and constructing imagined scenarios during wakefulness. This suggests that dreams may serve a similar function to wakeful processes such as memory consolidation and creative problem solving.<\/p>\n
