Someone believes that in a dream the soul leaves the human body and visits areas inaccessible to consciousness. It can be the distant past, the future, and even a parallel world. One way or another, but according to the theory of probability, dreams of each of us come true from time to time.
Prediction is one of the functions of the brain. We live because we can predict a little ahead. Therefore, indeed, in a dream, something can be thought out that could not be done in the waking state. Science explains this quite simply.
Everything that we dream is a consequence of our experiences and those events that have already happened to us. And also the expectations of the future. The brain in a dream is doing something like a general cleaning. Revises the images seen during the day, analyzes and makes predictions. While in the waking state, perhaps we could also predict something. But there are many interfering factors. A dream is such a calm reflection, where only the most significant is selected. Everything seems to be "laid out on the shelves", and not what would be predicted in its pure form, but it is assumed as it could be.
It turns out that if a person is puzzled by a global problem that is vital to him, and he will constantly think, think and think about it, then there is a high probability that the solution to this problem may come to him in a dream. This is how, falling asleep with the thoughts of the vital, we program our sleep.
In order to understand what is really happening in a dream, the patient is connected to special devices in the sleep laboratory. A person falls asleep, and technology records the work of the heart, nervous system and brain. The condition of the patient during sleep is monitored not only by sensors; video surveillance cameras are installed above the bed. A picture from it is transmitted to the monitor of a specialist. According to the posture of a person, his breathing, the movement of the eyelids, the doctor makes his conclusion. But even the most modern polysomnograph cannot count what a person sees in a dream.

Unfortunately, such a "movie" cannot be recorded on a VCR. The man himself tells about his dreams. You just need to ask yourself the question why I dreamed it, listen to yourself and think. In fact, everyone knows why they have this or that dream. By the way, this is the basis of the psychoanalytic theory of Freud and Jung.
In a state of sleep, a person can even clearly see and feel the symptoms of an impending disease. This is how the body expresses anxiety. Another type of dream that you need to listen to is recurring nightmares, where everything happens according to the same scenario. If the causes of terrible dreams are in psychological problems, then it is necessary to get rid of the nightmare under the guidance of a psychologist.

But if a person never sees or does not remember dreams at all, then it is necessary to consult a doctor. The absence of dreams may indicate a lesion of the cerebral cortex. In all other cases, doctors and scientists are advised to treat what he saw in a dream with a grain of salt and certainly without fanaticism. After all, dreams are the language of the unconscious, which we hear throughout one third of our entire life.
