　　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．

　　These stages repeat themselves throughout a night’s sleep．

　　I used to dream about Pisa when I was a boy．I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa (比薩斜塔)．But when I read the word Pisa， I was thinking of pizza．I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza．It must be the best pizza in the world，I thought．

　　"Dream may be more important than sleep. We all need to dream. " some scientists say.

　　Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short films. They are usually in colour. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.

　　Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may think about their work all day. These ideas can carry over into dreams.
