Dream
Dreams are successions of images , ideas , emotions , and sensations that occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep . [ 1 ] The content and purpose of dreams are not definitively understood, though they have been a topic of scientific speculation, as well as a subject of philosophical and religious interest, throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is called oneirology . Scientists believe that, in addition to humans, birds and other mammals also dream. [ 2 ] Dreams mainly occur in the rapid-eye movement (REM) stage of sleep —when brain activity is high and resembles that of being awake. REM sleep is revealed by continuous movements of the eyes during sleep.ABC Science
