Why do we dream?

Our dreams mystify us and often leave us waking up confused, disoriented, frightened, or perhaps very, very satisfied. Freud, of course, proposed that our dreams represent unconscious wishes that we’re afraid to express in our waking life. The most recent explanations aren’t totally incompatible with this theory. According to the activation-synthesis model, dreams are stories that we create out of the random stimulation that occurs in the brain while we sleep. The updated activation-integration-modulation (AIM) model proposes that dreams reflect the activity of regions of the brain active at a particular moment as well as the activity of particular neurotransmitters. This neuroscience explanation regards the stories we make up as reflecting, in part, our hidden desires, but they are not primarily the products of repressed wishes.

I dream all the time and they are so vivid. I go through spells of dreaming about the same thing. Over long periods of time. I've always wanted to look into it. I heard recently because I like role play and listen to music constantly their might be some sort of connection. Mr never dreams which I find a bit weird tho x

I sometimes dream to solve a problem, if I think about it before I go to sleep I can come up with the answer in a dream.

I sometimes dream about something I'm worried about.

I sometimes dream about random stuff from my day.

Why? I have no idea.

Perhaps awakened consciousness is the act of deliberately tuning into one reality, like a radio tuning into one radio station? Then, when we lose consciousness, we lose this will to tune in and instead our mind just meanders through different realities, picking them all up like a radio scanning all frequencies, until we awake again and deliberately tune back into being here?

I'm only ever aware that I've had a dream a handful of times a year and they're normally always 'nightmares' but they don't actually scare me

There are three dreams I've had in my life that either reoccur or that I can remember. The recurring one involves a tidal wave.

I always thought dreams were just random shit but recently I was looking into different theories and discovered that the drug DMT which is a hallucinogenic drug that people have taken for thousands of years is released into our brain naturally through the pineal gland during sleep and also during near death experiences. People who have taken it all report the same stimulations and visual experiences, if visually are all the same then I rule out that its just random dreams and think its more likely that we are tuning into different wavelengths during these trips and the same during sleep. Its also why people who live through near death experiences report a calm feeling and light at the end of the tunnel, its just our bodys pumping DMT into our systems so that death isnt so scary.

We all dream and it's only the very last few seconds prior to waking up the we recall. Most dreams apparently only are a couple seconds of our brain activity and so we have thousands of dreams while sleeping. Why some recall and some don't is still a mystery but science is showing it's more about how the individual shuts out external stimuli both while sleeping and awake. There seems to be a corrolation to how deep someone sleep.

I've notice I rarely remember dreams. I sleep very well. I can be fast asleep in a few minutes if I want to sleep. I can sleep almost anywhere. I'm also aware that I filter out unimportant or non danger sounds. By this I mean I will be in a deep sleep but if I hear an unusual or warning sounds my mind will wake me immediately.

Yeah Mr can be out like a light within seconds and can sleep through all sorts where as the slightest wee thing wakes me up. I can have 3 different dreams and remember them all tho. It's weird x

Recurring ones seem to indicate a fear or phobia. It may not be that particular common thing but is related in some way.

I used to have a recurring one when I was young... of being chased and just before being caught the ground opened up and id fall in. Never ever knew what I was running away from. These just suddenly stopped for no reason I can recall.

I know my tidal wave one occurs due to my claustrophobia. I get breathless watching people underwater or in confined spaces on telly.
