What I would like to know is how you actually get dreams. Is it like a process in the brain? Also, why do you dream and why do some dream more often than others?
And good luck on your presentation! If you inform yourself well, it will go good! ๐๐บ
No one dream more than others, everyone dream every night, but they don't always remember. I read that you remember more your dreams if you're a child or a woman, and as you keep being older it's more difficult to remember your dreams after the night. Also, people who pay more attention to details (in general, everyday life) are more able to remember their dreams, and ofc if you take time to write them down or trying to remember it, it helps a lot.
The fact that creative and imaginative people have more dreams than other is false.
For the process honestly I don't really know, I think it's difficult and I don't think we really know that ๐
I'll do some researches and tell you.
Why do we dream? Sorry but we don't really know either ๐๐

There are some hypothesis:
-dreams helps to learn/memorise things that you lived during the day
-it helps you to be empathic, being at the place (do we say that in English?) of others in order to understand them better.
-it "simulates the threat" ๐ so that you are trained ๐ช๐ป and when you face a difficult situation irl, it's easier to overcome it. (That's what I read ๐)
-It helps you regulating your feelings. Dreams could be like a mental theater where you could play every situation and plan every scenario ๐ค so you are trained too. I think that's why sometimes we wake up with some stroooong feelings ๐
๐ (one time I woke up HATING my German teacher for no reason, even if she's really nice and never did anything ahah)
-finally it's a moment during which you can have creative ideas. As you can't think, your brain will do some strange associations, that you wouldn't have think irl bcs it's too strange, but finally it's not too bad... I saw that the idea of the sewing machine, the periodic table and Einstein's relativity come from dreams... (They didn't have THE idea during the dreams, but some part of it)
Is it true ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ idk...
Apparently Dali used to fall asleep for few second and then woke up in order to have ideas for his art ๐จ๐
Maybe dreams have another function, idk if I told everything (probably not)
