Researchers have long maintained that we sleep to accomplish a neural or physiological function that cannot be completed when awake. Why else would higher animals waste a third of their lives sleeping when they could be doing more important things like looking after their families, working, or hunting? Some scientists believe sleeping helps recharge the body, while others think it is important for consolidating newly-formed memories. Now, there is new evidence which suggests that the purpose of sleep may be to forget some of the millions of new things we learn each day.

    I do this practice called lucid dreaming. It is where you are actually aware that you are dreaming so then you can make anything happen in your dreams! It is really cool! it is like whatever you think of will actually happen in your dreams! I am just a beginner at it and only started yesterday, so let me know, or like this comment if you do this practice, or if you want to do this... I am just going to let you know that it is not harmful and that it can be tricky to do!

      I finally got to have a lucid dream! I am so happy! So it started as a normal dream, but then I realized that it seemed to awkward to be real... So I did a reality check to make sure that this wasn't real by putting my finger through the palm of my hand, and I started lucid dreaming... I imagined the weirdest things😅 but it was pleasant to actually have one that night!
