Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short films. They are usually in color. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over again. That may be because the dreamer is worried about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.

Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can’t remember the dream. Dreams can go away quickly.
