Dreams

We call the mental activity that takes place during sleep dreaming. Everybody dreams, although most people are able to recall only a few, if any, of their dreams. (However, in cultures in which dreams are highly valued and talked about frequently, people remember their dreams almost every morning.) Sleep researchers sometimes make a point of waking study participants at regular intervals during the night to ask them about their dreams. The first few dreams are usually composed of vague thoughts left over from the day’s activities. A participant may report that she was watching television, for example. As the night wears on, dreams become longer and more vivid and dramatic, especially dreams that take place during REM sleep. Because the amounts of time spent in REM sleep increase during the night, the last dream is likely to be the longest and the one people remember when they wake up. People, however, can rarely recall more than the last 15 minutes of a dream when they are awakened. Researchers have found that after people have been deprived of REM sleep, they subsequently increase the amount of time they spend in REM sleep. Thus, it appears that a certain amount of dreaming each night is necessary.
