Download PDFREM sleep begins with signals from an area at the base of the brain called the Pons. Signals travel to the brain region called thalamus, then in the cerebral cortex i.e. the outer layer of the brain responsible for learning, thinking and organizing information. This region of the brain along with the frontal lobe i.e. the storehouse of memory forms the dreams. Dreams are the cortex‟s attempt to find meaning in the random signals that it receives during the REM sleep from the pons in the brainstem. Cortex is that part of the brain that interprets and organizes the information from the environment during consciousness. From these random signals during REM sleep, the cortex tries to interpret these signals and creates a “story” out of the fragmented brain activity.
