Why Do we Dream? - The Genuine Reason!

 

Hey kids, welcome back to KidsCast! Today, let's discuss a very interesting topic, about: Why Do We Dream in Sleep? So let us begin!

We see dreams when we sleep. These dreams are sometimes so wonderful that you like to see the dream, and some dreams might be scary like monsters running around, which you obviously don't want to see. The dreams which are scary or you don't like to see are called Nightmares. Hence, it is important to understand that why do we dream, so that we can take actions to control what dreams we see. 

Many scientists and researchers have researched regarding why do we humans dream, but no one has got extremely accurate answers. So there are theories like we dream because we because of our memory, or we dream what our Brain recalls during the night. However, for now there is not a proper answer. But the scientists found one major and a genuine reason for Why do we Dream. Let us discuss that. 

The one and only and a major reason of Why do we Dream is: REM (Rapid Eye Movement). Dreams are caused by brainstem activation during the Rapid Eye Movement. In this movement, the eyeballs of a sleeping person move so fast among the eye, that the Person starts seeing dreams. During this Movement, the activity of the Brain's neurons is almost similar to the during waking hours. Hence, when the REM occurs, we see dreams. But REM is not the only reason that we dream. 

Our Brain plays a very important role of making us dream. While the Rapid Eye Movement occurs, sometimes the brain's memory of your imagination or events that occurred when you were awake recalls in your dream. For example, if it is your Birthday tomorrow, your brain will imagine that you are getting gifts and presents, and the same thing will be shown in your dreams! Isn't it awesome? However, if you recently read or watched something thriller or scary, that might too come in your dream. Like after reading a scary story, you might see the ghosts and monsters you imagine in your dream.

However, this is only for some cases. Sometimes you see the dream which is out of your imagination or the events occurred while you were awake. Sometimes these dreams make you feel awesome, or sometimes you might get scared. You see, sometimes dreams are predictable and sometimes they are unpredictable. The unpredictable dreams are still a mystery and even the scientists don't know that why do such unpredictable or unusual dreams occur while someone is sleeping. However, here are a few measures you might take to see wonderful and happy dreams: 

• Always Be Positive throughout the Day! Try not to cry or frustrate throughout the day because some people say that crying or frustration can lead to scary dreams at night. 
• Never read or watch anything thrilling, scary or horror, at least at night. 
• Always read good and happy stories.
• Always go to toilet to attend nature's call before sleeping. 
• Always imagine good and wonderful things.
