When we sleep, our brains are still active and process information from around us.
The average dream lasts only about 5-20 minutes, although sometimes it feels longer.
We are easier to remember the dreams that occur when we are sleeping soundly at night, because at that time we experienced more brake phases (Rapid Eye Movement).
Dreams can affect our mood and emotions after we wake up from sleep.
Dreams can help us overcome problems and find creative solutions to the problems we face.
Some people experience sleep paralysis, namely when their bodies wake up but their brains are still in a state of sleep, so they cannot move or speak.
We can control our own dreams through a technique called Lucid Dreaming.
Some people experience the same dream repeatedly, called Recurring Dreams.
Dreams can function as a way for our brain to process and overcome difficult trauma or experience.
