Dreams are the things that happen in a person's mind while they are sleeping. Dreams can seem so real while they happen that the person might think that they are awake. Most people do not remember their dreams unless they wake up in the middle of the dream. Many dreams involve things that could not happen in real life. They can be pleasant, strange, sad, or scary. Nightmares are dreams which scare people. When people have nightmares, they often wake up in the middle of the night.

There are many different theories about why people dream about what they dream about. Every person has different dreams. Some psychologists believe that dreams reflect what the unconscious mind (the part of the mind people are not aware of) is thinking about. Others think that people, places, and objects in dreams are symbols for other things. There are many books and websites devoted to making sense of dreams.

A lucid dream is when a person who is dreaming knows they are dreaming. Most people have lucid dreams very rarely, but some have them often. During lucid dreaming, it is possible to try to control what happens in the dream or do things that could not be done in real life.
