What Causes Dreams and Why Do We Forget Them?

Dreams are like movies your brain makes while you sleep. When you're asleep, your brain is still working hard, and sometimes it creates stories or pictures in your head, that’s a dream! But when you wake up, the movie stops playing, and it’s easy to forget what happened. It's like watching a fun cartoon and then walking away without remembering what was on screen.
