    Dreams occur during REM sleep and involve vivid images, emotions and sensations. While the purpose of dreams is unclear, researchers study dreams to better understand the mind and brain. Dreams are typically short, lasting 5-20 minutes each, and people dream for around two hours each night. The content of dreams can provide insights into a person's concerns, interests and unconscious experiences.

    1.

    A dream is a succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur
    involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.The content and purpose of dreams are
    not fully understood, although they have been a topic of scientific, philosophical and religious
    interest throughout recorded history. Dream interpretation is the attempt at drawing meaning
    from dreams and searching for an underlying message. The scientific study of dreams is called
    oneirology.
    2. There are many theories about why we dream, but no one knows for sure. Some researchers say
    dreams have no purpose or meaning and are nonsensical activities of the sleeping brain. Others
    say dreams are necessary for mental, emotional, and physical health.
    3. –
    4. Adults and babies alike dream for around two hours per night—even those of us who claim not
    to. In fact, researchers have found that people usually have several dreams each night, each one
    typically lasting for between five to 20 minutes. During a typical lifetime, people spend an
    average of six yearsdreaming.
    5. While most people report dreaming in color, there is a small percentage of people who claim to
    only dream in black and white. In studies where dreamers have been awakened and asked to
    select colors from a chart that match those in their dreams, soft pastel colors are those most
    frequently chosen.
    6. Researchers have found some differences between men and women when it comes to the
    content of their dreams. In several studies, men reported dreaming about weapons significantly
    more often than women did, while women dreamed about references to clothing more often
    than men.

    Another study showed that men's dreams tend to have more aggressive content and physical
    activity, while women's dreams contain more rejection and exclusion, as well as more
    conversation than physical activity.
    Women tend to have slightly longer dreams that feature more characters. When it comes to the
    characters that typically appear in dreams, men dream about other men twice as often as they
    do about women, while women tend to dream about both sexes equally.
    7. People who became blind after birth can see images in their dreams. People who are born blind
    do not see any images, but have dreams equally vivid involving their other senses of sound,
    smell, touch and emotion.
    8. The most common emotion experienced in dreams is anxiety. Negative emotions are more
    common than positive ones.
    9. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is a normal stage of sleep characterized by rapid movements
    of the eyes. REM sleep in adult humans typically occupies 20-25% of total sleep, about 90-120
    minutes of a night’s sleep.
    During REM sleep the body is paralyzed by a mechanism in the brain in order to prevent the
    movements which occur in the dream from causing the physical body to move. However, it is
    possible for this mechanism to be triggered before, during, or after normal sleep while the brain
    awakens.
    10. Results of several surveys across large population sets indicate that between 18% and 38% of
    people have experienced at least one precognitive dream and 70% have experienced déjà vu.
    The percentage of persons that believe precognitive dreaming is possible is even higher –
    ranging from 63% to 98%.
