A dream is a series of images, ideas, and emotions that occur while you sleep. There are many different myths about dreaming such as falling to the ground in your dream means that you actually die in real life or that you can’t control your dreams.
For me, I used to have many myths about sleeping and dreaming. I used to think that if I woke up remembering my dream, I dreamt that night, but if I woke up not remembering a dream, I didn’t dream. After reading this chapter, I learned that you dream during REM sleep and if I woke up in the middle of my dream I would be more likely to remember it than if I woke up during NREM sleep. But just because I don’t remember my dreams, doesn’t mean that I don’t dream. Another myth I had was about the actual dreams themselves. I used to think that if I thought about something, such as a person or winning an award, as I was lying in bed, I would then dream about what I was thinking about when I fell asleep. In reality, no one knows for sure, but there are different theories about dreams. One of the theories about dreams is wish fulfillment. Wish fulfillment is the theory that people dream about fulfilling ungratified needs from waking hours. Also, another theory is the problem solving theory, which says people dream to engage in creative thinking about pressing personal issues because dreams aren’t restrained to logic.

Good start - I feel like you kind of stopped writing before you finished your thoughts, though - there's no real conclusion here and kind of seems like you didn't have a point you were trying to make. It's harder to blog about a certain topic given to you, but it's OK to still keep your own voice and talk about what you think and what you've learned!
