Answer 1

The correct answer is letter A

Dreams are nothing more than mental experiences during our sleep. These are thoughts, images and emotions when we are sleeping. It is possible to visualize areas of the brain being activated while we dream.

Not everyone remembers what they dream. Since many people do not normally remember their dreams and live normally, it has been suggested that this may not be necessary for the normal functioning of our brain.

We all dream and, throughout a night of 7/8 hours of sleep, we have about 5 dream periods, each of which may contain several “stories”. About 20 to 25% of the night is spent dreaming. What happens is that not all people remember their dreams when they wake up.
