What are the point of dreams?

you are not alone. Most sleep and dream researchers agree that sentient beings dream - dogs cats mice and other mammals will druel - shiver - pant etc while dreaming
 
Back when I was a psych major the theory was that dreams were just side effects of your brain sorting out the events of the day, colored by whatever longer-term stresses might be affecting you. They may or may not seem related, but there's usually some kernel there if you dig for it.

It's been shown that everyone does dream, or at least enter a dream state, but people tend not to remember dreams unless they are woken up right after and consciously think about what happened, and even then things slip away pretty fast.

One thing about dreams that may freak folks out who believe the universe is infinite... If that is truly the case, then somewhere in that infinity is a place where your dreams are literally reality.
