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.
Examples
- Imagine your brain is like a movie director, making a story about everything you saw and felt during the day.
- You might dream about your favorite pizza if you ate it right before going to sleep.
- Your brain can even mix up two different days into one crazy dream.
