      We think this is because our brains try to sort out all the things it has experienced during the day, storing and filing away all the new memories, and getting rid of some. Sometimes these new memories cross paths with things we have experienced or known previously, which is why some dreams tend to have some stuff we have recently experienced mixing with stuff or people we’ve known about for ages.
