DREAMS

The dream, as an act of sleeping is a uniform resting state of an organism. In contrast to the waking state, when the being is awake, sleep is characterized by low levels of physiological activity (blood pressure, respiration, heartbeat) and a lower response to external stimuli. A dream can include any of the images, thoughts and emotions that are experienced during sleep. Dreams depend greatly on one's imagination but there is a great possibility that they are related with reality symbolically

Did you ever asked why do we dream? Thats a question that not only you are waiting for an answer. Since ancient times several theories emerged but no one couldn´t give a real answer.
