Dreams are like movies our brain makes while we sleep. When you're asleep, your brain still works hard, it sorts out all the stuff you saw and felt during the day. Sometimes, your brain uses stories or pictures to do this. That's what a dream is! Like when you watch a movie at night, that’s like dreaming.
Why Do We Dream?
Dreams help your brain remember important things from the day. They also help you learn and think better during the day. So, even though dreams feel strange, they’re very useful for your brain!
Examples
- A dream is like watching a movie at night that helps you remember what happened during the day.
- If you see a strange animal in your dreams, it might be because your brain is trying to process something new.
