How does our mind make dreams when we sleep?
There are several theories about what causes dreaming. One is discussed in this article:

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
The link you provided seems to be broken, but I can still explain the general process of how our minds create dreams during sleep.
Dreams are thought to be a result of our brain's activity during sleep. While we sleep, our brain goes through different stages of sleep, including rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-REM sleep.
During REM sleep, which is the stage when most vivid dreams occur, our brain becomes highly active. It is during this stage that our brain forms complex images, emotions, and experiences that we perceive as dreams.
The exact mechanisms of how dreams are generated are still not fully understood, but there are several theories. One theory suggests that dreams are a way for our brain to process and consolidate emotions, memories, and experiences from the day. Another theory proposes that dreaming is a result of random firing of neurons in the brain, which is then interpreted by our mind to create a narrative.
Additionally, dreaming can be influenced by external factors such as our daily experiences, emotions, and even the things we think about before going to sleep. These factors can shape the content and themes of our dreams.
While the understanding of dreaming is still a subject of ongoing research, studying brain activity during sleep using techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG) and functional MRI (fMRI) has provided valuable insights into the neural processes that contribute to dream formation.
I apologize for not being able to access the specific article you mentioned, but I hope this explanation helps you understand how our minds create dreams during sleep.
