Philosophers, scientists, and even psychologists have always had their own opinions about why we dream.

Some say that dreams serve absolutely no purpose, while others believe that dreams are a way that our minds relax and unwind and that by having dreams, our brains are meeting an essential quota that helps our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Freud was a huge fan of dream research and had many theories about dreams. He believed that dreams were a way we expressed what our subconscious was thinking without ever having to say it. He felt that all of our emotional and sexual fantasies played out in our dreams.
