Dreams occur during REM sleep and can be explained by two main theories. The physiological theory believes dreams exercise brain cell pathways, while the psychological theory sees dreams as reflecting emotions and thoughts. The sleep cycle repeats every 90-120 minutes and includes four stages, with REM sleep when dreams occur. People spend around 6 years total dreaming over a lifetime, and dreams are often forgotten shortly after waking.
