DREAMS

Everybody of us dream. People who are awakened from REM sleep, describe vivid dreams about 75 percent of the time.

Firstly, all normal humans dream probably four to six times every night. Just a small number of individuals are aware that they are dreaming while dreaming and can signal that awareness by making distinctive eye movements, a phenomenon called lucid dreaming.

Moreover, people differ quite a bit in how well they recall the last dream of a night. The reasons for memory differences are not well understood. Interference from distractions is probably operating in some cases. The content of dreams usually is commonplace, ordinary activities, familiar settings. For example, pregnant women dream about unborn children, people under stress dream about the stressor, aggressive individuals about fighting.

Furthermore, experiment has been made, where people were asked to were reddish goggles for some time. Later the things that they dreamed became reddish too.

All in all, dreams are important part of sleep, besides, it reflects everyday activities.
