Why does the newborn baby cry when it is born?

At the time of birth, the baby breathes for the first time. Its lungs stretch out and dilate to fill up with air in one single movement. 

This hurts and so the baby cries out.  Inside its mother's tummy, it lived in a liquid environment and had to contact with air.

What are dreams?

Our eyes are like a camera that registers everything we see during the day. Dreams are stories and pictures our brain creates when we sleep. Most dreams happen during the time of night when we are most deeply asleep but recent studies show that we can dream at just about any time of the night.
