What is the differences between tcp.stream and tcp.seq in wireshark field?

Are the packets with same tcp.stream should have same tcp.seq?(why if not?)

tcp.seq is the sequence number for the TCP header so it reflects what was actually on the wire.

tpc.stream is a wireshark generated (hence it has [] around it in the UI) value that is used to show the different tcp streams or connections in a capture.

The values will normally be different as they are entirely different things.
