It covers Memory Consolidation, which suggests that dreams help organize and store memories; Emotional Processing, which views dreams as a way to work through difficult feelings; Threat Simulation, where dreams rehearse survival scenarios; Creativity and Problem-Solving, which argues that dreams boost innovation; and the Activation-Synthesis model, which sees dreams as random brain activity. While the true purpose of dreaming remains a mystery, each theory offers a unique perspective on this ancient question.
