• There are two main theories as to why
we dream:
• The Physiological theory and
• The Psychological Theory.

how our body, mainly the brain,
function during the REM stage of sleep.

exercise the pathways between brain
cells.

10. • One sleep cycle consists of
four stages, each lasting 90-120
minutes. Some people believe
that there are five stages.
• They think the first 5-10
minutes while you are falling
asleep, but this is more of a
transitional phase and the
other stages of sleep repeat
throughout the night, this
phase does not, so it is not
considered as a stage of sleep.
11. • Dreams can occur in all stages
but the most memorable dreams
occur in the last stage of sleep,
when they are closest to waking
up (REM).
• The sleep cycle repeats itself on
an average of 4 to 5 times per
night, but they may repeat as
many as 7 times. This is how a
person dreams several times in
one night. But just because u do
not recall those dreams, it doesn’t
mean that they never happened.
• Some people swear that they do
not dream, but in reality they just
don’t remember.
12. • When a person enters
light sleep. This stage
is characterized by
non-rapid eye
movements (NREM).
Muscles become
relaxed, body
temperature lowers,
and the body is
getting prepared to
fall into deep sleep.
13. Also characterized by
NREM. There is a further
drop in body
temperature and
relaxation of muscles.
The body’s immune
system gets working on
repairing the days
damage. Blood is sent to
the muscles to be
reconditioned. By now,
you are completely
asleep.
14. • Even deeper sleep.
Still in the NREM
stage. Metabolic
levels are
extremely slow
now.
15. Now in the REM stage, or delta
stage.
Your eyes move back and forth
rapidly underneath the eyelids.
You go into this stage 90-100
minutes after you have fallen
asleep.
Blood pressure rises, breathing
becomes heavier, heart rate speeds
up and brain activity increases.
Your uncontrolled muscles
become paralyzed and your mind
is being revitalised and your
emotions are being fine tuned.
Majority of dreaming occurs in
this stage.
16. The sleep cycle repeats itself on an
average of 3 to 5 times per night, may
repeat as many as 7 times.
