Every living organism, including plants, birds, animals and humans, needs sleep and they do sleep as and when the physic needs sleep. Dream is a partner of sleep especially in respect of animals and irresistibly, humans.

Dream is a scientific phenomenon closely linked to sleep. To know the reason for dreaming, therefore, it is necessary to understand what sleep is and how it takes place.

The sensory centers like visual, auditory, olfactory, motor et al in the cerebral cortex would be constantly working, whether one is sitting idle or doing something. The result of the continuous interactions of the nerve cells in the central nervous system, would be loss of vital energy and life force in the nerve cells. The lost energy is recouped by or through a process of inactivity of the nerve cells. The state of inactivity is brought about automatically by an inborn nerve connection called unconditioned reflex. This state of inactivity, rather rest, is what one calls natural sleep.

Sleep is one of the most important nervous functions aimed at keeping the physic healthy and worthy of action. The nervous system ensures that any stimuli, whether it emanates from internal environ or external environment, does not cause or result in sudden and abrupt waking up, by stage managing the introduction of dreams, which enable continuation of sleep, enable the nerve ells come out of inactivity within a reasonable time, the time that is required, may be seconds. This is what the scientific truth of dreams.

Why do you have dreams and sometimes you don't?

Does the side you sleep on influence your dreams?

E.g. I noticed that when I sleep on my right cheek, my dreams tend to be more logical and analytical, whereas they tend to be more creative and full of fantasy when I sleep on my left cheek. From Ttrocks14: I used to sleep on my left cheek and my dreams were ridiculous and crazy, like a red unicorn with chocolate hooves in a world made entirely of candy (i swear i dreamed about that); now i always sleep on my front with the covers over my head and that gives me more control over my dreams like a lucid dream. real people from my life are more present too, but sometimes objects can be wildly odd or out of proportion.


Why do dreams always seem to end just when they're getting to the good part?

Dreams often end abruptly because they are influenced by our brain's natural sleep cycles. As we transition from deeper stages of sleep to lighter stages, our dreams can be cut short, causing them to end just as they become more interesting or exciting.


What are the biological explanation of dreams?

What happens if you don't have enough dreams?

I would expect that you have as many dreams as your body considered necessary. But it is not uncommon for folk to not remember their dreaming - there is not much need to, as it is a subconscious process.However, all people of normal health do have dreams whilst asleep. Many do not remember them.In your nightly sleep pattern there are several phases of REM sleep - Rapid Eye Movement sleep, and if people are woken immediately the REM sleep has stopped they will be able to tell you their dreams. This phase of sleep is accompanied by rapid eye movements believed to follow the actions in the dream. Have a crack at REM in Wikipedia.
