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.
Examples
- You think you're flying in your dream, but when you wake up, your feet are still on the floor, it's like magic!
- Your favorite teacher from school appears and talks to you, even though they’re not actually there.
- You feel like you're eating a giant pizza in your dream, and then you wake up hungry!
