The whole process of dreams and how they happen remain quite elusive and the facts behind what makes us dream arn't truly known and are theories rather than actual.It has been proven in many experiments which have been conducted that during an eight hour period of sleep everyone goes through five phases of dreaming which coincide with light periods of sleep ammounting to roughly ninety minutes during those five phases.Sleep seems to be a period where we are deaf and blind or inactive although in fact sleep is an activity.Everyone dreams during their sleep and there is no one state which we can call sleep.Our deepest state of sleep is as soon as we first drop-off followed by a shorter and lighter state where our eyes move about while closed showing that activity is indeed going on which is known as REM or rapid eye movement,this is the phase we call dreaming and we have roughly five phases of dreaming for every eight hours we sleep.

Dreams are the involuntary conjuring up of images, sounds, ideas and feelings as well as other sensations during sleep.

Dream imagery is usually fanciful and not realistic and they are generally outside the control of the dreamer, with the exception of Lucid Dreaming. Dreamers are usually participants in their dreams and the dreams will seem very real while asleep. In the last decade, with advancements in imaging techniques such as MRI our understanding of dreams has progressed.

For the first time we are able to see inside the sleeping brain and clearly see which areas of the brain are active during dream sleep.

Observations in the sleep lab have shown that dreaming is associated with REM sleep . Scientists now also know that the brain does not switch off when we sleep, it is actually re-awakened when we enter dream sleep. There is a difference between the sleeping and awake brain however. Only select parts of the brain are woken and are involved in dreaming.

Scientists also now know that dreaming primarily occurs in the limbic region of the brain or the area that deals with emotion.

Thus we seem to have an explanation for the highly emotional nature of dreams.

In the light of these new advancements recent research has produced several theories that could explain why dreams happen:

1. Continual-activation theory

This theory proposes that dreaming is a result of brain activity and synthesis and that dreaming and REM sleep are not one in the same but are controlled by different parts of the brain.

2. Researcher Eugen Tarnow believes that dreams are excitations of long term memory and that dreams take on the bizarre nature because of the format of long term memory.

3. A study in 2001 showed that dreaming is involved with strengthening semantic memories.

4. A research psychologist Joe Griffin in the UK has postulated the expectation fulfillment theory of dreaming.

According to this theory there are three principles of dreaming.

i) dreams are metaphorical interpretations of waking expectations.

ii) Expectations that produce emotional responses that are not acted upon during the day become dreams during sleep.

iii) Dreaming is a way of dealing with emotional arousal by completing the expectations in our dreams that we did not complete when awake and thereby freeing our brain to respond afresh to each new day.

These are a few of the many theories that attempt to answer the question "what makes dreams happen" and no theory has to this day been proven.

Answer

There are no specific ways or rules to make dreams true. But some of the dreams may become true in some ones life in sometimes. Sigmund Freud had done so many researches in this regard and given lot of information on dreams.

----

A dream cannot become true unless you want it to in your subconscious and if you have the necessary means...it obviously depends what the dream is about

what makes us dream? when we go to sleep some of our brain stays awake to keep our body system going. Our imagination are still awake while we are sleeping so that's what makes us dream.
