Why Do We Dream?
We dream when our brain is busy during sleep. Imagine your brain is like a storyteller that makes up little adventures while you're asleep. Sometimes these stories are silly, like being chased by a giant spider or flying over the ocean.
What Could They Mean?
Dreams might be how our brains sort out what we experienced during the day. If something made you feel happy or scared, it could show up in your dreams as a fun party or a scary monster.
Examples
- You dream about flying because you were happy at school.
- You dream about being chased by a giant spider after your pet ran away.
- You see yourself at a big party with all your friends, because you missed one last week.
