Interesting facts about dreams

Dreaming is an activity carried out by the brain, allowing the human being to live experiences, give clues regarding an issue, see what we could be or could happen in the future and much more. It is important to mention that the dreams we have depend on the personality we have , the moments we have lived, the fears, desires, traumas, joys we have experienced or want to happen.
