From the Paper:

"For thousands of years, scholars have debated the meaning and significance of dreaming. The importance of sleep is obvious. Without sleep, mental and physical health quickly deteriorates because the body does not have a chance to revitalize itself. Sleep itself is known to boost brainpower and also keep the body healthy (The night shift, 2005). However, though all human beings dream when they sleep (barring some manger of brain injury), it has been largely unclear why this is so. The purpose of this study will be to illustrate what is known about dreaming and its relationship to human health through an examination of the critical theories that have been developed over the years to account for the human dream state. What is known for certain about dreaming is that it is an ubiquitous state of cognition during sleep for all mammals and all birds"
