Don’t remember where I read this theory, but the gist is that dreams are simulated events for practice/preparation, and they are therefore surprising and very diverse - you need to practice social interactions, fight or flight, shame, freezing, etc - and since you don’t have a lot of time, many dreams will sample many or all these themes.
