To know what is dream and why do we have dream when we sleep we need to know what is the mind, brain made for.
As the heart is made to beat or pump blood, the stomach is to digest food, the brain is made to think things.
No matter what you do or where you are your brain keeps on thinking, because that is its work. Even when you don't know what you are doing, your brain keep on thinking.
So, since the work of the brain is to keep on thinking even while we sleep, we have dreams. In other words, dream is a thought the brain do when one is in a sub-conscious state. As you cannot stop thinking, as you cannot stop the brain to think, you also cannot stop dreaming, you cannot stop the brain to dream. So, thinking while sleeping is called dream.
Don't think that dream is something that comes from outside realm. Dream is just a sub-concious thought of the brain. If you don't have dream or if you don't have thoughts it means you are dead.
Sometimes you may say I don't have dreams but in reality, you have dreams. It's just that your conciousness fell to such a deep sleep that even your sub-conciousness could not record and remember what your brain was thinking.
You may wonder that some dreams tends to correctly tell things, foretell the future and that it is not just thoughts of the brain. You are right to wonder about it because there are three types of dreams. I will post about it on coming post, please do keep on visiting and commenting.
