Scientists thought that the brain was resting when people did anything , but they didn ’ t expect that dreams can affect the functioning of the brain even when they were asleep . According to a study by Harvard University , when a person dreams his or her brain works the way it does when doing sports and it says that dreaming will give a person pre-experience . When a person dreams , they actually think how to get prepared for a future event . For example , in your dreams you see a burglar entering your house . If a burglar breaks into your house in real life , you know how to behave because you already rehearsed it in your dreams . But sometimes this dreaming pattern in your brain can change . According to another research , the way of dreaming depends on people ’ s eating habits , the books they read , etc . For example , you may be thinking only of the consequences of breaking into your home . The way you dream can vary from person to person .
These two studies have one thing in common . Dreaming … There have been very difficult times in the world and it is still happening . But this will never end . Humanity knows this . That ’ s why we must always dream and pursue that dream . Sometimes the world may seem unbearable to you . You can get very tired , but nobody has reached their dreams easily . Dream and never give up .
