Research: Process of dreaming

Dreaming & REM:
2 or more hours dreaming at night (REM cycles)
REM sleep beings with signals from an area at base of brain (pons)
Travels to a brain region called "Thalamus"- cerebral cortex
Pons shut down nervous in spiral chord, temporary paralysis, limb muscles
Dreams are the cortex's attempt to find meaning in random signals
Cortex interprets and organizes information

Reflection:

The brain is complexed, even when it's dreaming. Even in its subconscious mind, it is constantly working, to churn out possible dreamscapes that centres around the Self.
