The majority of dreaming occurs during Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep, which is the sleep stage when you are most likely to experience vivid, interesting dreams. Although you can dream during any sleep stage, most dreams occur during REM sleep because this is when your brain is most active.<\/p>\n

There are different stages of sleep, and dreams typically occur during the REM (rapid eye movement) stage. This is the final stage of sleep before waking up, and it typically happens about 90 minutes after falling asleep.<\/p>\n

At what stage of sleep do you dream? <\/h2>\n

REM sleep is a critical part of a good night’s sleep. 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.<\/p>\n

It is unusual for dreams to occur soon after falling asleep since the first cycle of REM sleep is usually around 90 minutes after falling asleep. They then occur at approximately 90 minute intervals during sleep and are most complex and prolonged in the later REM sleep episodes towards the end of the night.<\/p>\n

Do dreams occur during REM or deep sleep <\/h3>\n
