      Hi!

      This is a good question! I think that this is not too clear but I am sure Darren will be able to give you a better answer.

      Some theories suggest that it is a way of secure our memories in the brain but I do not know much about it….

      Hi Andres is right in saying that dreaming is a way of helping solidify memories. There is also an argument that dreaming allows babies to have more time to interact (albeit only in a dream), and thus learn more!
