Dreams, says Joseph Campbell, are private myths, whereas myths are public dreams.
To him religion was great myth, by myth he did not mean lies, as some people do, it is just story or set of stories that are designed to explain and guide.
Large class of phenomena face ironic challenge. They are perceived as lies or fables, animal stories designed to entertain kids, not even grown ups, and thus does not merit serious attention in this age of scientific triumph.
Religion and myths fall into this category, at least in the West and even in some parts of the East. This challenge is an old one, for which reason religious folks have dedicated bulk of their work overcoming this challenge, urging their adherents to have faith and they will come to know in due time that they have chosen the best path or one of the best paths.
Skeptics, however, will not be satisfied, so more philosophical answer is to show why this way of life is great If you choose to lead so. This answer no longer answers to the skeptic, but answers to the person who made the choice to lead this kind of life, by showing him that he has made a great choice.
Primary motivation leading one to appreciate stories, especially those of religious character, is joy or the satisfaction of the psyche: one becomes deeply happy with the guidance and the explanation the story offers. If, therefore, happiness is the aim of life, then one finds one more resource to script himself, for the purpose of attaining happiness.
Generally speaking, dreams are potential solutions to problems that you are having now in your waking life.
