Everyone dreams several times a night during REM sleep. Most people forget up to 95% of their dreams within minutes of waking, even though the brain was highly active just moments before.

Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep enhances problem-solving and creative thinking. During this stage, the brain forms new neural connections that strengthen learning and recall.

Snoring happens in deep, non-REM sleep when airflow vibrates tissue in the throat. Since dreams mainly occur during REM, heavy snorers often experience fewer remembered dreams.

Though the body rests, the brain remains almost as active as when awake. It processes emotions, consolidates memories, and clears waste through the glymphatic system.

Dreams help regulate mood and process daily stress. They act like emotional therapy, replaying situations safely so the mind can adapt and find balance.

During sleep paralysis, you’re conscious but unable to move as REM atonia lingers. It’s harmless but can feel frightening — often linked with vivid dream imagery.

Many mammals and birds experience REM sleep. Dogs twitch their paws or whimper as they dream — likely replaying daily activities just as humans do.

Sleep deprivation suppresses REM stages. When you finally rest, you may experience 'REM rebound' — more intense and vivid dreams than usual.
