Dreams

Dreams: why does one dream?

I have been reading and reviewing some other writers on this website, trying to work my way around and understand how it is done here.  I have gotten some poor answers back on my reviews and even been invited and uninvited to campfires, been told that the writer has no time for me.  It has been bothering me because I didn't think I was doing anything wrong.  I thought this was what the website was about.  Writing and reviewing with the hope that someday I could myself could learn from this and end up writing and earning a living from it.  I thought I was honest and truthful about my reviews without hurting but only my good reviews have been accepted.  I have been slow on getting the writing part down because I've been afraid but am going to try and do that from now on. 

So why do we dream?  Is it because we are anxious about something or afraid, or happy or sad, depressed, worried, lonely?  Last night I think I did because I wanted to prove that I could write something down and was trying to think of where to start.  I woke early this morning hearing my kid getting up for school and so got up myself.  Suddenly I remembered that I had this dream and I felt good all over.  I remember that it was about a story that I wanted to write but within minutes, I couldn't remember the story.  I still felt good about it but couldn't write it down.

So, why do we dream?  I really haven't studied this much but remember that one time a friend of mine really wanted to have a child and she dreamed of water.  She said she looked it up and it meant that she was going to have a child.  Soon she was pregnant.  I really didn't think much about it after that.

Has anyone one out there studied this or dreamed of something they could remember all of and put down on paper? 

Would love to hear from any one so please start reviewing me!
