    There are several theories proposed on why we dream including threat-simulation theory which suggests dreams serve an evolutionary purpose of simulating threatening situations. Expectation-fulfillment theory proposes dreams are a result of the brain attempting to make sense of random neural activation during sleep. Activation-synthesis theory views dreams as the brain synthesizing dream narratives from random neural impulses during REM sleep.
