I've been searching this questions and they all say the same thing. its experiences that you went throughout the day adn even the past. some say that these are event that happen in our "past life". some say that is because we don't use enough imagination during the day the brains does it over night thru dreams. these are all very interesting theories but they don't really answer my question. Is there a scientific explanation for this?
I once
read that it might even be a function that the brain uses to erase unnecessary
memories.
But i don't think there is a proven fact
on why we dream, which is why there are so many theories on the topic.
There
is Freud's theory that dreams carry our hidden desires and there is Jung's
theory that dreams carry meaning, although not always of desire, and that these
dreams can be interpreted by the dreamer.
After
these theories, others continued such as the Cayce theory in that dreams are
our bodies means of building up of the mental, spiritual and physical
well-being.
Finally
came the argument between Evans' theory and the Crick and Mitchinson theory.
Evans states that dreaming is our bodies way of storing the vast array of
information gained during the day, whereas Crick and Mitchinson say that this
information is being dumped rather than stored.
Whichever
theory is true, we may never know, but from the above theories we can decide
for ourselves what we believe to be true and further help us into understanding
our dreams.
One theory I read (and
quite like) is that it is the flow of memory and information from your
unconscious mind to your conscious mind or vice versa, and your brain takes it
as a stimulus and so it provokes the senses. Kinda like a hallucination.
The question now is IS THERE A SCIENTIFIC THEORY OF WHY WE DREAM?
