Answer 1

Answer:

Why do we dream?

There are several hypotheses and concepts as to why we dream. Are dreams merely part of the sleep cycle or do they serve some other purpose?

Possible explanations for why we dream include:

• To represent unconscious desires and wishes

• To interpret random signals from the brain and body during sleep

• To consolidate and process information gathered during the day

• To work as a form of psychotherapy.

From converging evidence and new research methodologies, researchers have speculated that dreaming:

• Participates in the development of cognitive capabilities.

• Is psychoanalytic; dreams are highly meaningful reflections of unconscious mental functioning.

• Is a unique state of consciousness that incorporates three temporal dimensions: experience of the present, processing of the past, and preparation for the future.
• Provides a psychological space where overwhelming, contradictory, or highly complex notions can be brought together by the dreaming ego that would be unsettling while awake. This process serves the need for psychological balance and equilibrium.
