The answer is the activation-synthesis theory. Neurobiological explanation of why we dream is called the activation-synthesis theory, this theory in 1977, this first proposed by Harvard psychiatrists Robert McCarley and J. Allan Hobson, proposing that dreaming results from the brain's attempt to make sense of neural activity that takes place during sleep.
