Sometimes dreams feel so real because your brain is working hard while you're asleep. Imagine you're playing a video game and the characters are super detailed, that's kind of like what happens in your head when you dream. When you wake up, your brain remembers all those details just like it would remember a movie.
Examples
- You dream about flying through the sky, and it feels just like being on an airplane.
- You wake up remembering every word of a song you heard in your dream.
- You dreamed about your best friend, and you could almost see their face clearly.
