Let us define "dream" first:

Dream is a series of pictures of events, fragments of our memory or stories that our mind create while we sleep. It can be romantic, exciting or terrifying. Science has made a huge leap in terms of medical researches but there are still no answer why we dream but there are existing theories regarding this matter and these are as follows:

- To represent our desires

- A component and form of memory processing

- An act by the brain to prepare itself to face challenges

- Offline memory reprocessing

- Meaningful reflections of mental functioning

There are a lot of factors that can affect our dream. It could be because of alcohol, drugs and even mental state of an individual individual.
