  Hi Sam! 🙂 Excellent question. I think it’s something to do with how we store our memories, and it helps us condense the day a bit better. One of the most important things in science is to know when you have no idea and ask for help… so I’m asking for help here from some brilliant people who did I’m a Scientist recently and are more qualified to answer! > https://medical20.iasuk.ddev.site/question/why-do-we-dream/
