One prominent theory holds that the 'purpose' of dreaming is two-fold:
1) it is your brain's way of storing memories and putting them in the right 
place in your brain, and 2) it is how your brain makes sense of your daily 
memories and experiences in a way that it can recall them for future use.
However, this is only a theory at present.
