      I’m not really sure. I have some vague explanations, but I’m afraid its not my field.

      I’m led to believe it is the brain processing experiences from the previous day. I’m not sure anyone has a complete explanation of why we sleep, let alone dream!

      Much needed time out! Afraid I am no expert in this area – you could try one of the other zones.

      Nobody knows for certain – my first degree was in psychology so I got really curious about this and read up a lot, there are many theories!
