We all dream, but scientists are still trying to understand why. Dreams can happen at any time during sleep, but most vivid dreams occur during the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stage. It’s not entirely clear what purpose dreams serve, but they may help with memory consolidation and problem-solving.<\/p>\n

There are different stages of sleep, and dreams usually occur during the REM (rapid eye movement) stage. Dreams can also occur during other stages of sleep, but they are usually less vivid and more difficult to remember.<\/p>\n

In what stage of sleep do dreams occur? <\/h2>\n

REM sleep is a stage of sleep characterized by rapid eye movements, increased brain activity, and decreased muscle activity. 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.<\/p>\n

The last two stage of non-REM sleep is when you sleep deeply. It’s hard to wake up from this stage of sleep. REM sleep happens about an hour to an hour and a half after falling asleep. REM sleep is when you tend to have vivid dreams.<\/p>\n
