Rebecca, thanks for the informative and interesting info on dreams.  You mentioned that dreams are a time for the brain to sort and store memories.  However, most of my dreams do not involve things that have ever happened to me before.  I was wondering if you (or anyone else) have came across research that may explain why dreams are so far from reality for some people like me?  I mentioned in an earlier post that my dreams are full of things that I never thought possible.  My boyfriend teases me for thinking I'm a superheroe because that's what I am in my dreams.  I'm often flying through the air, vanishing from danger, fighting off demons while saving people, and living in magical worlds.  Maybe that's why I look forward to sleeping every night.  It's definitely a fun escape from "reality".
