What Is the Science Behind Dreams?

Dreams are like movies your brain makes while you're sleeping. Your brain uses these movies to practice what you learn during the day and to sort out your feelings. When you dream, it's almost like your brain is telling a story from all the things that happened in your life. It helps you remember and understand what was important.
