Amy loves walking home from school to see the colors of the
leaves and listen to the birds sing. But one day, she heard a soft cry. It
came from under a bush. “Should I go near?” Amy wondered. As it
grew louder, Amy decided she must help the poor thing.
Amy crept closer and held her arm out. Just when she was about
to reach out, she saw a pair of eyes and heard a loud “Hissss!!!!” She
also felt a sharp pain. “Ouch!” Amy cried. Her arm had four long
scratch marks. Amy was upset. She really thought she was doing a
good deed.

We often say “Sweet dreams,” but have you ever wondered why we
dream? Some say that dreaming is our brain’s way of exercising. While
we sleep, our brain may be testing the connections and pathways to see if
they are working well. Others believe that dreaming is our brain’s way of
sorting out problems. Problems that have not been addressed during the day
are sometimes resolved in our sleep. Yet another explanation is that
dreaming is our brain’s way of fixing and organizing all the information we
have. While sleeping, our brains have a chance to sort out the information
that we want to keep from the stuff we no longer want. Still another idea is
that dreams are just another form of thinking. Will we ever get to know the
answer to this question? Maybe we should sleep on it.
