Dreams can be an opportunity as they provide a different brain state, allowing for more intuitive and creative thinking. They can help us look at situations from different perspectives and aid in learning and problem-solving. Dreams serve multiple functions, including threat simulation to prepare us for dangerous situations, wish fulfillment, and emotional processing.
