But really, why does our brain use REM sleep for?
Possible explanations for why we dream include:
To represent unconscious desires and wishes
To interpret random signals from the brain and body during sleep
To consolidate and process information gathered during the day
To work as a form of psychotherapy
If this is the top tier level of our knowledge on the subject, have any of you anything to add or maybe subtract from those statements? Why do we dream? What is the brain going through in terms of processes?
Is it, as I strongly feel, a mixed collaboration of those 4 statements? In that they might all at once be the factors?
