Why do we get dreams when we sleep

Because there is nothing better to do when you're asleep.

when you think of something which you want to achive or if you are affraid of something..or you want to take revange..you will get those dreams when you sleep.

because it is highly impossible when you are widely awake.

I doubt that anyone can answer the question of why we dream in a purely scientific, definitive way. I think that many believe today that the purpose of dreams is to process all of the unneeded emotional issues and by that method somehow "vent" some of the energy connected with negative emotions by giving "expression" to them in a socially acceptable way. This is kind of like letting the pressure off of a steam cooker before it gets dangerous. But although I do think this is sometimes one of the effects of dreams, I do not believe that it is the only reason for their existence. I believe that they provide us much more detailed information and are much more coherently arranged (on purpose) than most realize yet today. For one thing, dreams aren't all negative. Some are quite uplifting. And some don't seem to have much emotion involved with them one way or the other...are rather matter of fact. So, to my way of thinking, we have dreams mainly to provide us information that is available to the subconscious mind levels but is not necessarily available to the waking, conscious mind's awareness. This is inner information being displayed to us that we can use when in waking consciousness. And, much like a Help feature which is at the top of nearly every software program on the computer, the information that we get from dreams seems to me to be mostly about how the program works, so that we can learn to willfully and skillfully use it properly. Here is another way to understand what I mean: When the brain slows down, our conscious awareness begins to close down. Then we enter a brain wave state where the spotlight of awareness is slowly moved from conscious awareness to subconscious awareness. What we have actually done is turn a rheostat from one position to another...one focus of our consciousness is turned off and the other is turned on. When this process is complete, then we are in a dreaming state. Normally, when first going to sleep we pass through this dreaming state quickly, though it is possible for various reasons, such as emotional or body discomfort or concerns, or noises that keep waking us up, that we might at these times spend more time in the dream state initially. I say this only from my own personal experiences. But normally our brain waves continue to slow down fairly rapidly at first and we then enter the deepest levels of sleep in the same manner that we entered the dreaming state. The rheostat has now been turned to position number three. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of information about this deepest level of sleep, probably because there is generally not enough conscious recall of what all goes on there. I've read that sometimes when people are awakened from this level of sleep the do report dreams, but the dreams seem to be of an altogether different quality from the normal REM state dreams. I have had several dreams of this type reported to me and they usually involve something like digital numbers constantly changing, or continuous rhythmic movements or sounds which don't seem to have the normal symbolic content that normal dreams do. So I feel comfortable with the following conjecture, which takes into account my model of 3 levels of mind (or focuses of awareness). I believe that the fastest brain wave states represent waking awarenesses which are based on the five senses and definitive, linear logic. The middle ranges represent inner, subconscious awarenesses that are based partly on the senses of the body and partly on the inner information contained in the subconscious awarenesses...including information that it receives from psychic phenomena derived from its contact with higher levels of mind. This is what I think has been called the soul by many. A complex of memories...all memories along with their emotional valences (positive/negative, good/bad)...from the time when that individual "soul" complex was originally created...whenever that might have been. The slowest brain wave states represents the point where the mind's focus is farthest away from conscious, waking reality. This is the superconscious state...which I think is what has been called the spirit. In this "spiritual" state, I believe that we continue to have "experiences" but they are so profoundly different from our waking experiences of reality that there is no way to directly become aware of them with our conscious minds, like we do with dreams when we remember them. Instead, we spend some time there, have some experiences, and then the brain wave state naturally begins to increase in frequency to the point that we are in the dreaming state again. This marks the first full REM experience and it is this state where I believe that our "spiritual" awarenesses that we just finished "experiencing" are sort of "dumped" into the subconscious mind, which does have the capability to understand the superconscious by reason of its proximity to both the lower, more limited conscious awareness and the higher, less limited superconscious awareness. The subconscious lies in the "middle" of these two other states and thus forms a kind of boundary layer (or translation layer) between them. In other words the subconscious mind has the capability to "remember" the spiritual state's experiences, just as the conscious mind has the capability to "remember" the dreaming state's experiences. Each state, therefore, remembers the slower state that precedes it and has the ability to react to these memories! And... each slower state has a greater scope of awareness than the one which preceded it. In this formula, I see the awareness level of our minds as inversely proportional to the frequency (speed) of our brain's processing at the time. Thus the brain is a filtering device that is alterable, by consciously or unconsciously changing the speed of the processor. Thus, the superconscious (spiritual) awareness is the greatest of all. It is essentially unlimited in my estimation. Its perspective is one of total awareness that is outside of both time and space and encompasses much more...including direct (wireless) contact with all other minds. Essentially, I see it is as a multi-dimensional observer. The subconscious (soul) awareness has access to all that the superconscious does simply by its proximity and ability to "remember" these states, but because it is still in developmental form (and not yet perfected) it can only comprehend "some" things....much like the conscious mind can only comprehend "some" things about dreams at any one time in its developmental history. The ability of one level of mind to comprehend other levels changes with time and experience. This is our natural learning ability in action. Now, with this in mind, imagine for a moment that you are in a spiritual state of awareness, totally oblivious to the physical body and the five senses and also totally oblivious to the emotional pulls of the ego...and you are having a multi-dimensional experience that simply cannot be comprehended by the conscious mind directly. Then this experience is remembered by the subconscious mind when it is activated by the brain speeding up, resulting in an REM state, and it then takes the information remembered from the superconscious state and creates a mental movie for us, using symbols that our conscious mind can relate to, in order for us to remember as a dream when we awake. Thus, we can receive superconscious information, through the natural translater within us...the subconscious mind...which can itself then be finally comprehended in terms of our waking reality by the conscious mind.....if we learn what our symbols mean and how our subconscious mind works. So, I think that we dream in order for our highest level processing to become intelligible to our lowest level, or lessor evolved and currently most limited, faculty of mind...our conscious awareness. This would be a natural result of having the three levels of mind with the natures that they seem to me to exhibit. Yet not all dreams seem to be highest level information. I believe that the subconscious mind (soul) has the ability to intercept and modify information based on what it thinks is its own self interest..the protection of the ego. Therefore, sometimes it might "interpret" higher level information, due to its own less-than-perfect develpment, incorrectly...just as our conscious mind can interpret dreams incorrectly if we have not prepared it to understand by doing the work of learning wha tour symbols mean. In other words, the ability of a dream to display higher level of information flawlessly depends on the developmental stage of the subconscious mind (or soul) which created it and on the developmental stage of the conscious mind which interprets it. I further think that the goal of nature seems to be no less than perfection on all three levels. When all human evolutionary development is complete, I believe that we will be able to perceive with perfect awareness throughout the spectrum of our 3 levels of mind. In other words we will have the ability to consciously be aware of spiritual reality (superconscious) through the intermediary of a perfected soul (subconscious) with its ability to translate undistorted higher level information into a language that the lower level areas of mind can understand, so that it can be used in a practical manner when we are incarnate in a body form that is focused in 3D timespace reality. Essentially, this represents the state of, symbolically, "God walking with Man"....in full awareness, and I believe that this is the final goal of human evolution. I think that dreams, therefore, are something that naturally occurs to us and whose true purpose is to help our late-blooming, more recently created and less developed, and more limited conscious mind, catch up to speed, so to speak, with the more ancient, primal and unlimited awarenesses of the superconscious mind.
