Why do people tend to keep wanting more than what they have?
They enjoy what they have and their inner greed leads them to a mentality of wanting more so they can have more enjoyment. They think they can simply get more and not worry about how it happens as long as they are happy and content with themselves.

Why Do We Dream ?
One good reason for dreaming is to take away the stress of a modern human life, Dreams may distort the reality we lived that day to relieve us of pressure. Insomnia can heighten dream recall, and also lead to more stressful and disturbing dreams. (Depression and anxiety are also more likely in people with insomnia.) Obstructive sleep apnea, because of its ability to disrupt normal REM sleep, can cause disturbed dreaming with more bizarre and negative dream content.
There is no definite answer for the real intentions of dreams, Many experiments have been done but not a single one has given clear and definite results. All i can really say is theory and teachings modern people know ton understand.
However I can talk about dreams and things that go with them which is what I will do.
Dreams mainly occur in the rapid-eye movement (REM) stage of sleep—when brain activity is high and resembles that of being awake. REM sleep is revealed by continuous movements of the eyes during sleep. At times, dreams may occur during other stages of sleep. 'This, in turn, can lead to nightmares or bizarre, vivid dreams.' As REM sleep is when we process emotions, this can cause a build-up of unpleasant emotions which may manifest as nightmares. Some experts also believe premenstrual syndrome can lead to more nightmares.
Dreaming in quantity is also a variable in the whole experiment as well as a few other things.
Dreaming lots means you have a vivid imagination which is good, and that you are thinking of lots of things in life at a certain time of the day. … Talking during your sleep means anxiousness, as our long-running concerns in life, have ways of seeping their way into our subconscious and our dreams.It's completely normal for a person to have dreams every night, or if he only rarely gets dreams. Its more to do with the sleep cycle and the usual waking time, whether it coincides with either REM sleep (remembers the dreams) or NREM sleep (no recollection of the dream).
Another thing many people wonder about is why do dreams feel real and meaningful to us:
Dream experience feel real because they're based on input from our senses and processed by our brain, during sleep our primary senses except vision, are functioning. We begin our sleeping life believing that dreams are real because we are born dreaming. Newborns are in REM an average eight hours per day.
You could also discuss lucid dreams and nightmares which are very interesting to discuss:
The term "lucid dreaming" was coined by Frederick van Eeden in 1911, who reported on lucid nightmares among other lucidity phenomena. In a lucid nightmare the dreamer is aware that he is dreaming and that the dream is a nightmare.
I will end my topic here, PM me if you wish to go to more detail.

Is rebelliousness born in humans?
Everyone has a bit of the Rebel personality within themselves – that part that wants to (and sometimes does) go against the grain and break established rules. Rebel personalities, however, almost always disregard the reasons for rules, even though the outcomes are likely to be painful or of disadvantage to them. Sometimes they do this as a way of asserting a sense of power and control over others, or to try and compensate for real or imagined inner weakness. True rebels are not simply against rules or what others say just for the sake of being different; for example, they will protest wars because they believe in a particular cause, and can articulate it with conviction. In other words, there is method to the rebel’s apparent madness. That's why the antidote for rebellion is the true independence offered by creating and accepting a challenge - the young person deciding to do something hard with themselves for themselves in order to grow themselves. The teenager who finds a lot of challenges to engage with, and who has parents who support those challenges, doesn't need a lot of rebellion to transform or redefine him or herself in adolescence.
To what degree a young person needs to rebel varies widely. In his fascinating book, "Born to Rebel" (1997), Frank Sulloway posits that later born children tend to rebel more than first born. Some of his reasoning is because they identify less with parents, do not want to be clones of the older child or children who went before, and give themselves more latitude to grow in nontraditional ways. So, parents may find later born children to be more rebellious.
So yes to answer your questions, People are naturally rebellious it is just different per person based on many personal factors.

Well thats a complex one, Worrying is simply a normal human reaction to dealing with all things we do in everyday life.
Anxiety is a large factor in why we worry as people also, Anxiety can manifest in many ways, including persistent, excessive worrying. For example, in Generalized Anxiety Disorder, excessive anxiety and worry (apprehensive expectation) about events such as school or work performance has been present more days than not for a period of at least six months.By definition, this continual worrying is difficult to control and causes clinically significant distress and/or impairment in social, occupational or other daily activities. First and foremost, we fear the future. The unknown. We worry about what will happen to us, our family, our partner, our business, our money, our home, our possessions, our country, the world, etc. We live in a universe which is inherently unpredictable, dangerous and deadly. Indeed, anxiety (and the worry it generates which generates more anxiety) can be understood as an acute or subliminal awareness of life's insecurity. And the ever-present possibility and absolute inevitability of death. So much of what we worry about has to do with losing what we have: health, happiness, love, wealth, power, status, wisdom, freedom, independence, support, vitality and, ultimately, life itself. Either through making some mistaken choice or via the vagaries of fate. Existential anxiety is a recognition, either conscious or unconscious, that life is finite, existence tenuous, and that all or what little we have can be taken from us at any time. This is why existential psychotherapy places such emphasis on the experience of anxiety, seeing it as an inescapable and even necessary aspect of the human condition. And it is why we worry so much about making important decisions: We don't want to deal with the consequences of making a mistake. So we procrastinate, avoiding the existential anxiety of choosing without knowing for certain whether we are right or wrong.
Worrying can also pertain to wanting to be perceived by the world as we wish. And desiring to see ourselves as we want to be seen. When we are heavily invested in projecting and maintaining a certain image or persona to others, we must be ever-watchful and guarded about that particular persona being penetrated and seen through. We worry about being exposed. Being known. Found out, as, for example, in the so-called "imposter syndrome." Being judged. Criticized. And we worry about knowing ourselves. About being confronted with who and what we truly are.
There are several of social reasons for worrying and these are some of the large points, I do know others but I will keep this post shorter and end it here. Feel free to PM me if you want a deeper discussion.

Why do we get tempted to do things we are told not to do?
I would look at my answer for rebellious mentality as this is very similar. PM me if you want anything specific.
