There are five stages of sleep. Each one is distinguishable from the others. During the course of a night’s sleep, on average, humans cycle through all of these stages several times, usually about 4 to 6 times. Circadian rhythms in the body tell us when it is time to sleep. Before sleeping, while alert, beta waves appear on an EEG. During a state of relaxation, immediately prior to sleeping, alpha waves appear on an EEG.

The scientific understanding of sleep has changed due to the invention of the electroencephalograph, which then produces an electroencephalogram. The understanding of rapid eye movements also contributed the scientific understanding of sleep. With sleep there are two types, which are REM and NREM sleep.

Humans spend about one-third of their lives asleep, and research says that a quarter of our time asleep is filled with dreams. Dreaming is very mysterious matter, and while many theories have been made, scientists still do not know why we dream when we are asleep. However, it is important to remember that scientists are still uncovering the function of sleep itself. The study of dreaming still has a long way to go, but hopefully one day, we will uncover the mystery of dreaming. So what are dreams

But, in reality, “the meaning is in the eye of the beholder- not in the dream itself,” (Goleman, 1984).
