Why do you think that we have dreams?

Dream Moods: Frequently Asked Questions
This is still an unresolved topic amongst researchers as to the reason we have dreams. One theory suggests that dreams serve as a means for cleansing and release. During the day, we may hold back our feelings and repress our anger. Thus dreams serve as a safe outlet for us to release our negative emotions. Another theory says that dreams is a biologically necessary aspect of sleep.

FAQ: The Human Brain - 04 September 2006 - New Scientist
Dreams are a type of brain activity occurring during or near sleep. The most vivid seem to happen during a sleep stage called REM (rapid eye movement). Emotional, visual and other sensory areas are very active during dreams, and many researchers think that they might be a kind of "offline" filing, sorting and consolidation time for the brain. No ? at least not yet. There has been some success at mixing electronics with real cells.

These questions are outside the scope of this book, but you can find several hypotheses in the Wikipedia article on dream interpretation. Lucid dreaming is basically dreaming while being aware that you are dreaming. If you are in a lucid dream, you will usually have some power over your dream - anything from being able to fly or making an object or room appear behind a door or inside a pocket, right up to being able to change into animals or create a whole world.

In what order should I write my dreams?

Lucid Dreaming/Print version - Wikibooks, collection of open...
It is usually very hard to tell if the dreams you dreamt happened in the order you recalled them. Generally you should write them in the order you remember them, or in a random order. If you dream that you told somebody about a previous dream that happened the same night, then that previous dream probably came before the other one (though the "previous dream" could have been a false memory).

Can others interpret my dreams?

FAQ
Yes, and NO! Our philosophy is that only YOU can accurately interpret your dreams. However a dream analyst can help guide you through your interpretation. In addition depending on the dreamwork needed, they can help role play with you. Some feel that symbols are universal. Although we do not think so, we do feel that some symbols may be similar meanings for a majority of people within the same culture. Therefore some interpretations done by others may be somewhat accurate.
