Abstract
In the sleep-wake, cycle, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep represents a distinct mental condition, as it is closely correlated to the dream experience (Dement and Kleitman 1957). The present understanding of the dream phenomenon is very limited. We do not know the functional significance of dreams and the physiological state of the dreaming brain is largely unknown.
