Do You Have Dreams When You Sleep?

I have always been fascinated by the existence of Dreams. Sometimes when I sleep I have dreams, sometimes I don't. Why is that so? Is there a reason/explanation why we're having dreams? When was the last time you had a dream and what was it about?

Thanks for the response capsicum. Can I just ask that if we don't always remember our dreams, how sure are you that we dream every night?:)

Of course I do .and I think almost everyone dreams and as a matter of fact we humans forget dreams because we only remember those which are in harmony with our dominant thoughts. Well Why we dreams I've never thought but there must be a reason for that. The recent dream came to me today morning and I woke up at 4.50 am .The only thing I remember is I was in my local bank . Hapy mylotting !

Hi beatrice, I too find dreams to be very fascinating and the truth is we dream all the time, we just don't always remember. We can program ourselves to remember our dreams, if we are interested. Often our dreams seem to have no meaning, maybe even a mumble jumble, but at other time there appears to be some meaning or even a message. Sometimes I think that we may be in contact with our higher selves during such dreams. Blessings.

From what I have learned , we dream every night , we just may or may not remeber it . altho I do know that we have to reach a specific stage in our sleep patterns to dream , so I would safely assume .if one were not able to reach that stage in sleep one would not dream possibly . I am intrigued enough by the question I think I am going to research it . I would like to know if anyone else can make a dream because there are times when I am thinking about something , or worried and I will dream about that specific dream ? anyone else ?

Beatrice03 From what I can understand,we dream when we go into the REM stage of our sleep patterns. If we are not able to go into REM aka Rapid Eye Movement. For whatever reason a sleep disorder. we may or may not dream before i learned about REM . i had learned yrs ago that we do dream every night. You may not remeber but we dream .

I think we dream because we are not sleeping very well. I seldom dream at night. But I sometimes dream when I was awaken but still laying on the bed. And I always forgot what I was dreaming about.
