The movie “Inside Out” is a children’s movie that is based on emotions and how we feel. There are a couple of scenes in particular that show dreams as if you are experiencing a movie.

This means that we would begin to start dream interpretation. Some people think that whatever happens to us in our dreams means that it is either going to happen to us in real life. There is one type of dream where we fantasize about things that will probably never happen to us. This dream is called daydreaming, and everyone does it. It is a very healthy way for the brain to relax and I believe that it can be very
