Array ( [sid] => 160155 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => ~~~~~ Why Do I Dream ~~~~~ [time] => 2010-05-26 12:21:19 [hometext] => I have always had the wonder of what makes us dream, and the purpose of what we dream....Confused about it. [bodytext] => I would like to know, just why is it that we dream.
Do they tell a story, at times that's how it seems.

You dream about the present, something from your past.
What is in your future? Time goes by so fast.

You dream of your family, maybe an old lost love.
Some that are just crazy, I've dreamt of God above.

I have dreamed of lovers, I get a second chance.
with a certain someone, at a true romance.

I had a dream about an aunt, that I lost years ago.
she came to me in a dream, it's time to let me go.

I don't seem to understand, what my dreams are trying to say.
are they reflections of my life, that just won't go away.

In my heart I do believe, they are memories of the mind.
the ones we choose to keep, and those we left behind...

I believe in selective memory both in dreams and waking so i thoroughly agree with your conclusion as being one of the reasons why we dream, sincere searching write well written
