We dream about people we know because our brains are busy sorting through memories and feelings. Imagine your brain is like a toy box, and every time you see or talk to someone, it adds that person to the box. When you sleep, your brain plays with all those toys, sometimes making up new stories or mixing old ones together. That's how dreams about people you know happen!
Examples
- You have a dream that you're arguing with your brother even though you just had a great day at the park together.
