Why Do People Dream?
The trouble with dream studies is that there is no universally accepted theory that answers the question “Why do people dream?” Most theories find evidence for one aspect of dreams and then argue that is the theory of everything.
However, better neurological studies combined with content analysis are yielding more balanced perspectives for modern day dream theory. It is clear, whether or not you believe that dreams can be interpreted, that dreams help consolidate memory while we sleep. Whether or not we remember our dreams, our minds are doing the good work.
