As pointed out by Psychology Today, why we dream is still one of the behavioral sciences' greatest
unanswered questions. Researchers have offered many theories—memory consolidation, emotional regulation, threat
simulation—but consensus does not exist. Researchers say
that the brain paralyzes the body during dreaming so it cannot physically
respond. Dreams seem unreal only when we awake and a different system of
belief—and reality—take over. Ilana Simons PhD has pointed out several theories for dreaming:
- To practice responses to
threatening situations
- To create wisdom
- To
‘defragment’ your brain’s hard drive
- To
engage in some psychotherapy
