Do you believe that dreams have a special meaning? Some people believe that dreams are just the mind's way of dealing with things in your life that you can't deal with when awake. Sigmund Freud believes that our dreams come from our unconscious desires involving sex or aggression. Dreams may be to show us symbols that represent something bigger than ourselves. What do you think?

Why do you think our eyes move rapidly, back and forth when we dream (REM sleep)? The only theory that stands today about this topic is that our eyes moving back and forth is linked to the visual part of dreaming. Our eyes must continue to move to be able to picture or imagine the dream. Is this theory really scientific? Do you have a theory of your own? Why do our eyes do this when we are sleeping?
