Theories and stances
Bulkeley has compared dreams to a kind of 'play', in which different behaviours and strategies can be rehearsed.{{cite web |last1=Beck |first1=Julie |title=What Can Our Craziest Dreams Teach Us? |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/04/what-can-our-craziest-dreams-teach-us/476853/ |website=The Atlantic |date=5 April 2016 |access-date=26 June 2021}} Nightmares, for example, may be warnings that a negative occurrence is possible, and we should be prepared for it.
