Dreams occur because the sleeper enters into REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep.

In REM sleep the 'neural-net' or 'conscious thinking brain' shuts down to the stage where thought no longer flows in a logical and fluid order, and instead kind of 'cuts and pastes' vastly different thoughts/memories together - usually from something recently experienced or witnessed, if even just from watching TV or a movie.

The most likely to be recalled or 'cut and pasted' are those memories or thoughts that have had a deep psychological impact.

This 'cut and paste' of stored thought is what creates 'dreams', and it is why 'dreams' are often weird compared to the real world.
