What happens to someone's body and mind when he falls into sleep?And how do we dream when we're asleep?Why our dreams comes true sometimes?

Know one knows exactly what's going on. It's still being extensively reseached. There's a pretty good article in last month's Scientific American by one of the participants. Apparently, dreaming isn't restricted to REM sleep as was thought.
As for why some dreams come true, it's either because you dreamed of something that had a reasonable probability of happening and it coincidentally did, or you misremember the dream in order to make it fit current circumstances. Similarly, mis-recalled memories are thought to be responsible for deja vu instances.

The mysteries of sleep and dreams have fascinated scientists and philosophers for centuries. While we may never fully understand the complexities of these experiences, there are some theories that can shed light on why we dream and what happens to our bodies and minds while we sleep.

When we fall into sleep, our body goes through various stages of sleep, including light sleep, deep sleep, and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. During these stages, our body and brain undergo important processes, such as restoring energy, repairing tissue, and consolidating memories. Our brain also produces different brain waves during each stage, which can affect our dreams.

As for why we dream, there are several theories. One is that dreams serve as a form of emotional processing and problem-solving. Our dreams can help us work through unresolved emotions and conflicts, as well as come up with creative solutions to our problems.

Another theory is that dreams are a way for our brain to consolidate and organize memories. During REM sleep, our brain is highly active and can make connections between new and old memories, which can lead to vivid and sometimes bizarre dreams.

As for why our dreams sometimes come true, this is a phenomenon known as déjà vu. While it may seem like a supernatural occurrence, it is actually a result of our brain retrieving a memory from our long-term memory and mistakenly thinking it is a current experience. This can happen due to similarities between our current experience and a past memory.

In conclusion, sleep and dreams are complex and still largely mysterious. While we may never fully understand why we dream or why our dreams sometimes come true, studying these phenomena can provide valuable insights into the workings of our mind and body.
