Dreams can happen in any of the four stages of sleep. The most memorable and clearest dreams happen in the last stage of sleep (also known as REM sleep). The sleep cycle repeats about four to five times every night. So you can see how a person has several different dreams in one night. Most people only remember dreams that happen closer to the morning when they are about to wake up. That you can’t remember those dreams does not mean they never happened.
The stages in the sleep cycle are organized by the changes in different brain activities.
Stage 1: You are entering into light sleep. In this stage, your eyes move rapidly. We call this NREM. The body gets relaxed and your body temperature lowers. Your heart rate lowers, too. The body is preparing to enter into deep sleep.
Stage 2: Also characterized by NREM. In this stage, the body temperature and heart rate drop again. You are completely asleep.
Stage 3: Still in the NREM stage, this is a deeper sleep still.
Stage 4: In this stage of sleep, your eyes move back or forward. We call it REM sleep. This stage happens at about 90-100 minutes after the beginning of sleep. Your blood pressure rises, heart rate speeds up. The majority of your dreams happen in this stage.

Once a man walked into a doctor’s examining room(检查室) “Open your mouth and say ‘ah…’,” the doctor only took a look at it.
“OK,” the doctor said. “I’m sure what’s wrong with you. You need more exercise.” “But, doctor,” the man said. “I don’t think…”
“Don’t tell me what you think, ” the doctor said. “I am the doctor, not you. I know what you need. I see many people like you. They seldom do sports in life. They sit in offices all day and in front of the television in the evening. So you need to walk quickly for at least 30 minutes a day.”
“Doctor, but you don’t know,” the man said. “I…”
“I don’t want to hear any excuses,” the doctor said. “It’s necessary for you to do exercise. If you don’t, you will get fat(肥胖的) and have health problems when you are older.”
“But I walk every day,” the man said.
“Oh, yes, and I know about your walking. You walk a few meters to the bus stop from your house, a few more meters from the stop to your office, and a few more meters from your office to a restaurant for lunch and back.”
