What Makes a Dream Feel Real?

Sometimes, when you're dreaming, your brain thinks it's awake. Imagine playing a game in your head and suddenly believing you are actually there, that’s what makes dreams feel real! When you sleep, parts of your brain still work like they do when you’re awake. Your brain tricks you into thinking the dream is happening right now, not just in your mind.
