Detailed explanation-1: -Theta waves (4–8 Hz.): These occur when a person is in a light sleep stage or dreaming, as well as in a relaxed, meditative state of mind (commonly referred to as being on “autopilot"). Delta waves (< 4 Hz.): These brain waves happen during deep sleep stages (think stage 3, or slow-wave sleep).
Detailed explanation-2: -Theta waves are present when we are daydreaming or fantasizing and are commonly associated with creativity and intuition. Interestingly, the lower range of Theta waves are present during the time between waking and sleep when we are feeling very calm, serene and in drifty states.
Detailed explanation-3: -Theta brain waves occur when you’re sleeping or dreaming, but they don’t occur during the deepest phases of sleep. They may occur when you’re drifting off to sleep or suspended in that light phase of sleep, just before you wake up.
Detailed explanation-4: -THETA (4-8 Hz) The next brainwave is theta. Theta activity has a frequency of 3.5 to 7.5 Hz and is classed as “slow” activity. It is seen in connection with creativity, intuition, daydreaming, and fantasizing and is a repository for memories, emotions, sensations.
Detailed explanation-5: -In terms of brain wave activity, stage 1 sleep is associated with both alpha and theta waves.
