Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dreaming occurs during the paradoxical phase of sleep, also known as REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. During this phase, the brain's activity is similar to when the person is awake, and the body is mostly immobile to prevent injury while acting out dreams. Slow-wave sleep, also known as NREM (non-rapid eye movement) sleep, is characterized by slow brain waves and is not typically associated with dreaming.
