I'm dubious about the wish fulfillment angle, but there's got to be some sort of evolutionary reason for dreams.

It actually hasn’t as can be seen by our society that values the dysgenic and hates assertions against Tabula Rasa. Our society’s values stem from the enlightenment’s misguided humanist morality, not from Darwinism. Modern society likes evolution (which had been suggested long before Darwin) as a material origin for life but it doesn’t like natural selection (the reason that Darwin is important and the theory that makes evolution plausible), this was best exemplified by Karl Marx throwing a tantrum because of what he termed as Darwin’s “socially Victorian model”, Marx (as al modernists will) seethed about evolutions demonstration of hierarchy and success representing quality.
It is a truly a great book though, surprisingly beautiful and not atheistic as retards claim, in fact neither Darwin nor Wallace (co-discoverer of natural selection) were atheists.
People hate this book primarily from knee-jerk contrarianism. It’s incredible how much a single book can make people who haven’t read it seethe because some other people who haven’t read it lie about it’s implications, it is the second most misinterpreted book after the bible.

A) Darwin was notoriously pro-Lamarck and non-dismissive of him unlike basically all other evolutionists post-Darwin
B) Lamarck didn’t discover the actual method by which evolution functions on wider scales (though he will be vindicated as in part correct)
