How Do Dreams Help Us Learn?

Imagine your brain is like a video game that plays while you sleep. During the night, it shows you funny scenes or strange adventures, these are your dreams. But guess what? These dream scenes can help you remember things from the day before, like how to ride a bike or solve a math problem. Dreams act like practice sessions for your brain when you're not awake.
