How can brain waves produced during REM sleep be described?
The frequency of your brain waves during REM sleep are beta (which incidentally occurs during the waking state as well). These are low voltage, high frequency waves.
Why and how do you have dreams?
Nobody really knows the why, but it seems to be related to learning and emotional regulation. It is known that acetylcholine plays a role in learning. That chemical may be elevated during REM sleep. Sleep seems to help consolidate memories and calm the emotions, and dreaming could very well play a role in that. Sleep tends to work like this. You gradually drift into alpha brainwaves. Usually, you don't dream during initial alpha level sleep unless you haven't had dreams in a while, perhaps because of sleep deprivation. But you may exerience a phenomenon similar to dreaming before you fall asleep. Then you move into theta brainwaves, and then delta brainwaves. There might be an even deeper set of brainwaves. Then you cycle to alpha mode again, but usually also in REM sleep mode. That is where you do most of your dreaming. Then you cycle back through the different levels of sleep, perhaps four to seven times. Up to 1/4 of your sleep is spent in dreams.

What is one method a scientist might use to study sleep and learn about sleep habits?
An EEG can be used to monitor the brainwaves during sleep, the 4 different waves are beta, alpha, theta, and delta. Beta waves are more common during waking hours, as well as REM sleep (hence: paradoxical sleep), alpha waves typically occur during the period before light sleep, IE drowsiness. Theta mostly occurs during light sleep. Delta is the typical wave type for deep sleep.

Can you catch up on your growth spurt even if you didn't get enough sleep in the past?
No you can't because your growth hormones are mainly produced during sleep, and inadequate sleep during puberty can stunt growth I'm sorry to say.
How do get wet dreams?
They don't. A wet dream is what men refer to as the spontaneous disposal of old sperm/semen, usually during sleep. Women can get sexually exited during sleep leading to wetness but this cannot be described as a classic wet dream.
