What Are Dreams For?

梦是什么？

One theory is that we dream to release the deep, secret desires.

有一种理论是说我们在梦中释放深层的、潜藏的欲望。

We do not express these desires in real life because of the rules of polite society.

在现实生活中，因为文明社会的条条框框，我们不会表达出这些欲望。

Another theory is that dreams allow us to solve problems that we can't solve in real life.

另一种理论是说梦允许我们去解决现实生活中无法解决的难题。

We go to sleep with the problem and wake up with the solution.

我们带着问题入睡，带着解决方法醒来。

This may be a way to use our dreams rather than a purpose of dreaming.

这或许是一种使用梦的方法而非做梦的目的。

If you believe that your dreams are important, then analyzing them may help you to focus on the problem and help you to find the solution.

如果你相信你的梦是重要的，分析它们或许会帮助你专注于问题并找到解决方法。

The modern image is that dreams are the brain's way of cleaning up the computer'shard disk.

如今，梦被看作是大脑中类似电脑硬盘的清理过程。

Dreams organize the events of the day into folders and delete what is not needed.

在梦中，一天的事情被分门别类地整理好，而不必要的则会被删除。

But we all know that very little of what we dream is concerned with what happen to us that day.

但是我们都清楚，我们做梦梦到的很少会跟我们当天发生的事情有所关联。
