Dreams Are Meaningful, but Why?

Not everyone believes that dreams are meaningful, but why would you have them if they're not good for something? Spend lots of time at night dreaming. You spend lots of the time during the day dreaming. Your imagination can obviously construct up the world. And the imagination is the place of new inspiration. The idea that dreams have some functional utility and some significance is not, i think it's the appropriate default hypothesis. Dreams are old. If you are not allowed to dream, you go insane. Those experiments have been done. And so dreams are doing something. We can be sure of that.
