We all dream although we remember only a few of our dreams．Some people train themselves to remember their dreams．As soon as they wake up, they record what their dreams were about．
Scientists believe that we have different kinds of sleep．One kind is called R．E．M．R．E．W．stands for rapid eye movement．During this kind of sleep our eyes move quickly, even though they are closed．Although we are asleep, there is a lot of brain activities．We probably have dreams at this time．
