Dr. Gremillion argues that dreams function to focus on and consolidate memories. they represent concerns about our daily lives, illustrating our uncertainties, indecisions, ideas, and desires. Dr. Gremillion subscribes to the dreams-for-survival theory of the function of dreams. The dreams-for-survival theory states that when we dream, we are processing important information we learned during the day and that way we use dreaming to organize thoughts in our daily lives (to solve problems for example).
