Dreams have been a big topic to researchers all over the fields of science. Scientists of the biological side study the processes that occur in our brain as we sleep. Scientists on the psychological side study the dream on waking life ( hours spent when we are not asleep ). No matter what part of the dream you’re studying, it is all interesting. There are many definitions of what a dream is, reasons we have dreams, and theories on how our minds create/produce them. There are many definitions …show more content…

Research demonstrates that rest helps store recollections. On the off chance that you learn new data and consider it, you will have the capacity to review it superior to if requested to recall that data without the advantage of rest. How dreams influence memory stockpiling and review is not obviously seen yet. However, dreams may help the mind all the more productively store critical data while shutting out jolts that could meddle with memory and
