When you fall asleep, your body rests but your brain stays busy. Sometimes it spins up whole stories: flying over rooftops, talking animals, or a school hallway that looks wrong. These night movies are called
dreams. They feel real while they happen, even though they are built inside your head. Dreams are not magic messages from another world. They are real brain activity, like a private cinema that runs while you sleep.
⚡ DID YOU KNOW?
You dream several times each night, but you usually remember only the dream from right before you wake up.
