What do you think about the purpose of dreams?

When we have a trouble or a fear, it is not rare that these worries come up in a dream, and normally we can’t fix the problem. On the contrary, we usually go from a difficulty to another in an endless circuit. Is it usefull for our brain or life? I don’t think so. It seems more that even being sleept we can not forget completelly our worries.
Contrasting with these different theories, maybe the one where my idea can fit best is Crik and Mitchison’s one, when they say dreams are influenced for recent experiences. Actually, I think there is more that we ignore than what we know about this topic. On my view, there is still a lot to discover about the meaning and the funtion of dreams.
