Background on Dreams


Dreams are very mysterious to us. Scientists and psychologists try to speculate how dreams effect our brains and bodies. We know a certain amount of facts about dreams, like how dreams occur during the REM (rapid eye movement) cycle of sleep. Science and new technologies have helped us discover the facts about sleep. But, why we dream is still a mystery. Most of the ways to answer why we dream are theories or ideas from psychologists. One famous psychologist that tried to understand dreams was Sigmund Freud. In the next update Freud's dream theory and ideas will be discussed.

  1. I can't wait for your next update! I took psychology last year and was really intersted when we got to the chapter about dreams. I thought it was really interesting learning about what happens to us while we sleep and what some theories were about why we dream. I'm happy that your going to be disscussing Freud's theory, it definitely caught my attention in class!

  3. I learned a lot about dreams last year in my psychology class! I find all the concepts super interesting! Unlike a lot of people, when I dream I usually remember them. I really have the craziest and oddest dreams ever. One time I had a dream about a person I barely knew! It was so weird! I am definitely coming back to this blog!
