The Dreaming Process ,[object Object],There are four stages of sleep Stage 2: This is a much deeper sleep. Dreams start to develop, and although there are no clear images, vague thoughts and ideas drift through the sleeper's mind. If the sleeper remains undisturbed, he or she will drift off into… Stage 3: The sleeper's muscles are all relaxed by now, and his or her heart rate has slowed down. His or her breathing is steady and even. The sleeper is very difficult to wake now. Only two things can wake the sleeper now, a loud noise or an repetitious calling of the sleeper's name. Before long, the sleeper will venture into… Stage 4: This is the time the dreams occur. Both the sleeper's blood pressure and heart rate fluctuate, the sleeper's brain heats up. Then comes REM. If the sleeper is woken up during this time, he or she will be able to remember a recently dreamt dream. The sleeper goes into a REM stage after a short period and cycles through REM and stage 4 until woken up.
