Dreaming for health

VISUAL: THESE ARE MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL EVENTS DURING SLEEP

- Yvonne De Bruin

We all know how cranky and irritable we can get if we don't get a good night's rest or have suffered from insomnia for a few nights in a row. Just as important as sleep is to our health, so is dreaming to our emotional well-being.

A dream is a number of mental and emotional events that take place during sleep in which the dreamer has vivid visual images. Everyone dreams, although many people claim that they don't or cannot remember their dreams the next day.
