What causes dreams, anyway? A. Good question… Many different theories, nothing for sure.According to the Freudian school, dreams are the result ofsubconscious thoughts and desires. The other extreme attributes dreamsto random “noise” in the neurons without special meaning. My own understanding is that dreams are made out of many small partsof memory and imagination that get combined to form dream imagery.This is a process that runs both consciously (cf. section 6) andsubconsciously. I don’t know and leave to speculation the reason whythis is so.
