There is no biological explanation of why we dream, but there are facts that say the dream was not real in real life, is not likely to occur and not be controlled. But there are people who are aware when a dream they can organize events in the dream and felt very real. Experts say that the dream occurs because our brains are still working when we go to bed this theory seems to explain why we still can remember the dream. Experts say the average human dream for 6 years Over the life or an average of 2 hours each night. But experts can not say which parts of the brain that regulates a dream?

There is really no explanation on why do we dream. Some people say that when we dream it is a manifestation of what we want in life, or the things we want to avoid, or problems that we want solutions to, or a warning of something bad that is going to happen. Some people say that we can interpret our dreams. When I dream of scary things I usually wake myself up. There is a part in my dream that I think I am dreaming and what I do I concentrate and tell myself to move 1 finger at a time. When my fingers move then I am awake.There is also one time that I dreamed that my friend was tying her shoe lace and then I saw a drop of blood on her shoe which is white and I asked her what is that and she said she has no idea. The next day I told my friend about my dream and I told her to be careful just in case. Within the next three days she had a hemmorhage and she was hospitalized for a few days. When she was discharged from the hospital, she told me that my dream came true. Coincidence? I don't really know but it is strange.

Dreams are the subconscious experience involving sight, hearing, thinking, feeling, or other senses in sleep, especially during sleep accompanied by rapid eye movement (rapid eye movement / REM sleep).
The incident happened in a dream usually impossible in the real world, and beyond the power of the dreamer. The exception is in the dream, called Lucid Dreaming. In this dream, the dreamer realizes that he was dreaming when dreams are still ongoing, and sometimes able to change the environment in his dream and to control some aspects of the dream.
Dreamer also can feel the emotion when dreaming, for example the emotion of fear in nightmares. The study of dreams is called oneirologi.

As what I have learned back in college, dreams are results from REM or Rapid Eye Movement. This usually occurs when a person is in deep sleep. Furthermore, dreams present the things that we desire to happen in reality.

We dream may be because of our wild and wide imaginations of things we seen everyday. Sometimes we dream of unbelievable things that only in dreams we can make it just like what we seen in the movies. Just like having supernatural powers but all of that are just a part of our imagination and I really don't believe interpretations of dreams because its not true. It never happen in our real life.

Dreaming is a sign that your brain is working at night. We dream hundred times at night but only few to none has been remembered.

Dreams are made because our brain processes information that we experienced when we were awake. I guess our dreams and their kind are dependent on our most recent experiences or thoughts that we recently have dawned upon. Actually I am fascinated by dreams and how they came about. How these images or events in our dreams which are mostly bizarre or weird are made. But how I wish that some of my dreams would come true since I dreamed once of being pable to fly. It was fun and exciting until I woke up. lol. =D
