your subconscious mind is active during dreaming, while the conscious, waking mind rests in sleep.
In response to the question about the brain, many different areas of the brain are active during dreams. The pons appears to stimulate dreaming, while the various sensory areas activate in dreams as if they were perceiving stimulation while awake. The cerebral cortex is particularly active during REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. See the link to the Wikipedia article "sleep," below, for further information and references.

What are the biological explanation of dreams?
Dreams are believed to be a result of the brain's processing of experiences and emotions during sleep. During REM sleep, the brain is highly active, and areas responsible for emotions, memory, and processing visual information are activated. Neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine play a role in regulating dream functions.
What is the activation -synthesis theory of dreams?
Activation Synthesis Theory is a neurobiological theory of dreams, put forward by Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley in 1977, which states that dreams are a random event caused by firing of neurons in the brain. This random firing sends signals to the body's motor systems, but because of a paralysis that occurs during REM sleep, the brain is faced with a paradox.
