Overall, despite numerous studies examining psychological and neurobiologic properties of dreaming, the function of dreaming in mental health remains a mystery.
For example, it is suggested that the hypothetical proteins HIP000013164 and HIP000053526 in the dREAM complex function in the cell cycle, and that HIP000177716 (FA core complex), HIP000079962 (INO80 complex), and HIP000024165 (Lamins complex) function in DNA repair, DNA repair and transcription, and nuclear organization, respectively.
"Architecture is always dream and function: expression of a utopia and instrument of convenience".
Brad Spence's airbrushed paintings, inspired by filmic dream sequences, function like psychological screens.
Genetically, the dREAM complex functions not only as a repressor but also appears to recruit insulator proteins to block enhancer activity on divergently transcribed genes (Bohla et al. 2014; Korenjak et al. 2014).

The down-regulation of NCX3, but not NCX1 or NCX2, following expression of wild-type or mutant KChIP3 in other cell types was ascribed to the DREAM transcriptional regulator function of the protein and indeed the NCX3 gene was found to harbour DRE motifs in its promoter region [ 32].
But do anxiety dreams have a function?
