The Function of Dreams

Image via Wikipedia

I have just read a new theory about the function of dreams in our life; that it is purely physiological and merely a preparation for our waking life. Personally, I feel that there is more to the phenomenon of dreaming than that, as I have experienced very useful insights from my dreams. Quite often they provide the prompting of when I should start something new or complete an existing project. This is not to say that this is true of every dream, but I often get repetitive dreams which can act as prompting for the next step in my life.
