During dreaming sleep our bodies and limbs try to enact the dream and move about quite violently, which can be dangerously. To prevent this, brain paralyzes the body thus preventing all movements. But yep the body reacts to dream in the form of some twitching of the hand and feet and of course the eye movements. Breathing and other vital functions continue normally. Suddenly when we are awoken from the dream, the paralyzes continues for a while, even preventing attempts to cry out, and adding to the frightening experience. The paralysis is absent during non-dreaming sleep. Here sleep walking and sleep talking can occur, which is usually during the deepest form of non-dreaming i.e. non-REM or NREM sleep. Sleep walkers are in a world of their own, engrossed unresponsive and often they search something only known to them. They cannot be awoken and it is advisable to guide them to bed and not to wake them up.
Dreams are usually in colours but the image soon fades into black and white and in 10 minutes or so, it completely disappears unless we happen to wake up and then make a real effort to remember. Dreams are not over in a flash and it runs its full course, partly because dreaming is a light form of sleep and the sleeper is vaguely aware of his surroundings. Unless the sensation perceived is disturbing, the sleeper just dreams on.
Dreaming is not a vital state of brain recovery as it is thought to be. Within seconds of awakening from dreaming the person is fully alert and responsive. But awoken from a non-dreaming deep sleep, persons may experience confusion at times.
The parts of our brain controlling our emotions seems to be shut down during dreaming, which may be why the dreamer usually experience emotional detachment from the events. That is why one can remain asleep despite alarming and sometimes even frightening experience while dreaming. But sometimes, as it is in a nightmare, the emotions are not containable and we wake up. Whereas nightmares are made up of very frightening dreams, they are different from night terrors, which appears in non-dreaming state. In night terrors the sufferer typically sits up and cries out in fear and panic and children especially need much calming down by even more distressed parents. Strangely, unlike the parents, the child will have little recollection of any of this the next morning.
Everyone dreams. Those who claims that they do not are actually good sleepers, sleeping uninterrupted and ultimately getting up from non-dreaming sleep in the morning. The common belief is that dreams are essential for normal mental health, by resolving inner conflicts discharging tensions. But it may not be absolutely true. In fact dreaming can make the matter far worse. People with depression tend to have sad and miserable dreams which may lead to more sad thoughts and next day. That is why it may be best that they do not dream at all. Most drugs prescribed for depression also knock out REM sleep (Dreaming Sleep). Dreaming has nothing to de with memory.
