We dream because our brains are busy while we sleep. Imagine your brain is like a painter who keeps adding new colors to the picture even when you’re not looking. Sometimes it paints happy scenes, sometimes scary ones, but that’s all part of helping you learn and remember things from the day before.
Examples
- You dream about flying after you watch a movie about superheroes.
- You have a nightmare about being late for school after your teacher scolded you all day.
- You dream about eating ice cream even though you haven’t had any in weeks.
