The brain thinks, makes memories, and solves problems. It observes new information and then processes that information by determining what is essential, what’s not, and what’s connected to something you already know. Our brains require offline time for processing and learning new things. It occurs while we sleep. Dreaming plays a role in that process. Dreams are composed of information received during the day before the dream and then combined with previously stored data. <\/span><\/p>\n While it is not precisely clear how dreams form, there are many theories to the dreaming mind. For example, one brain region, the sensory cortex, is responsible for higher-level thinking, might stimulate the brain stem. Others suggest that REM sleep triggers sensory cortex. The dreaming brain can build stories that are better than a brain that is awake. Read on to find out more about several theories about the dreaming mind. <\/span><\/p>\n
