Dreams can be described as reflections , unconscious wishes , and a by-product of mental house keeping or interpreted as a brain activity Guiley (1998 ) says , Dreams are the inner powers that project out creativity which has changed lives . All these s may be true or false depending on which type of the dream that has occurred during the night . In is interesting that a greater percentage of dreams occur at night . Then the question is why do many dreams occur at night Noticeably , this it the time of resting and every body
