You know dreaming when you sleep? Do you think they have a purpose? Supposedly scientists have been unable to determine what evolutionary purpose they have or had, if they have any at all. What do you think?

Simulations, ostensibly in preparation for real life. Same as your normal thoughts and plans, only less constrained because you're not conscious.

Your asking if your thoughts have a purpose. Most the time the answer is no. Still you can learn from your dreams.

Basically this. The brain is recycling all the detritus of stimuli the mind has picked up.

There is a great Garcia Marquez book that utilizes this theme.

NPR had scientists explain why people have dreams in one minute or less. Basically it's the mind attempting an information dump... or a defrag, as others have more adequately put it.

Which implies that there are non-great Garbriel Garcia Marquez books =p (unless there's *another* Garcia Marquez running around)
