nightmares? Why would your brain scare you?
In: Biology
Dreams are the portion of your brain’s filing process that you remember.
(“Filing” ~= reviewing, organizing, discarding as needed, sent for further processing as needed, etc. And, finally, archived in your brain by creating a map/index to the relevant pieces of information in long-term memory storage.)
Nightmares are just dreams – usually ones that involve processing emotions or emotionally-charged memories. Or sometimes because you just ate food (usually sugar) too close to bedtime.
