Scanning the Brain in Dreams

Brain scans have been used to reveal part of the mystery of dreams. Using electroencephalograms they indicate that when we are awake the brain transmits regular electromagnetic waves. Now when you go to sleep gradually, the electromagnetic signals begin to change in frequency. When we are dreaming of the brainstem, electromagnetic energy waves arise that go up, at the same time they go up to the cortical areas of the brain, particularly in the visual cortex.

This confirms that visual images are an important component of dreams. Then, we enter a state of sleep and our brain waves are typical of rapid eye movement (REM: Rapid Eye Movement) (However mammals also experience a dream with REM we can assume that they also dream.) At the same time when we dream the visual areas of the brain are active, and other areas related to smell, taste, and touch are completely turned off. Most of all the images and the sensations that the body processes are self-generated, they originate in the electromagnetic vibrations of our brainstem, not from external stimuli.
