Your body rests\u2026 but suddenly you are flying in the sky, talking to animals, or taking an exam without studying! Strange, right? Welcome to the magical world of dreams!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dreams happen when we are in a deep stage of sleep called REM sleep. During this time, our brain becomes super active. Even though our body is resting, our mind is busy creating colorful stories, pictures, and adventures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>But why do we dream?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scientists believe dreams help our brain organize memories. Throughout the day, we learn new lessons, meet people\u00a0 and feel different emotions. At night, our brain sorts all this information like a smart librarian arranging books. Dreams may also help us understand our feelings. If we are excited, nervous, or worried, those emotions can appear in our dreams. Sometimes dreams are happy and funny. Sometimes they are scary. This happens because our brain mixes imagination with real memories. It is like a movie director creating a film while we sleep!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even today, dreams are still a mystery. Scientists continue to study them, but one thing is clear: dreaming is a sign that our brain is healthy and active. So tonight, when you go to sleep, remember\u2014your mind is about to start its own secret adventure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muawiz Ali, III-B Close your eyes.
