Detailed explanation-1: -REM sleep is the sleep stage where most of our dreams happen. It starts about 90 minutes after falling asleep.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -During REM sleep, a person’s brain activity, breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure increase, and the eyes move rapidly while closed. The muscles in the arms and legs become temporarily unable to move. REM sleep is thought to play an important role in memory and learning.
