What purpose do dreams serve?

[Yusra]

Dreams serve as a mental release valve, allowing our subconscious mind to process and consolidate memories, emotions, and experiences. They help us work through challenges, rehearse potential scenarios, and solidify learning and skills. Dreams also provide a creative outlet, fostering imagination and problem-solving abilities. Additionally, they offer a window into our psyche, revealing hidden fears, desires, and motivations, and promoting self-awareness and personal growth. By examining our dreams, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

When it comes to the purpose dreams serves, it usually depends on the individual. For some, it could be a way to get away from their reality. For others it could be a way their subconscious minds interact with them, and help them remember things.

As a rule my dreams are pleasant in nature. But every once in awhile I will dream about work and I am running around trying to solve the problem. Then I wake up and have to solve it for real.
