    Dreams ( not all ) do have relevance. They kind of sort out and work through your past or present life and it is always related to real life. We have them be cause they rearrange what you have experienced during the day. They kind of make some order in the chaos. Without them we would probably go crazy.

    thats an interesting question....I don't know why people have dreams, but I think it's just your brain working while your body rests. almost like it's keeping itself busy. I know that isn't an intelligent answer, but it's the best I can come up with :p

    We dream to keep the mind active is one theory. To keep it working and make more connections. and then you have Freud with his unconscious desires. The correct answer is that we don't know for sure.
