Detailed explanation-1: -Most of your dreaming occurs during REM sleep, although some can also occur in non-REM sleep. Your arm and leg muscles become temporarily paralyzed, which prevents you from acting out your dreams. As you age, you sleep less of your time in REM sleep. Memory consolidation most likely requires both non-REM and REM sleep.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dreaming. A majority of your dreams take place during REM sleep. However, REM is not the only stage in which dreams occur-that’s actually a common myth about sleep. That said, the dreams you experience in REM sleep are usually more vivid than non-REM sleep dreams.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dreams during REM sleep are typically more vivid, fantastical, and/or bizarre even though they may involve elements of waking life. By contrast, non-REM dreams tend to involve more coherent content that involves thoughts or memories grounded to a specific time and place.
Detailed explanation-4: -When patients are woken during REM sleep, research shows they can usually recall elaborate, vivid, and emotional story-like dreams.
