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.

Where in the brain Involved in sleep and dreams?
medula
Which part of the brain is responsible for regulating sleep?
The part of the brain responsible for regulating sleep is the hypothalamus.
The brain that plays a part in sleep?
Sleeping and waking depend on activities in the brain stem. Several areas of the brain seem to be involved in dreams and REM sleep, including the hippocamus and cortex. See attached links.
The activation-synthesis theory says that: (Apex)?
C. Dreams are a by-product of brain activity during sleep.
What is activation -synthesis theory?
dreams are a byproduct of brain activity during sleep
Why do dreams always seem to end just when they're getting to the good part?
Dreams often end abruptly because they are influenced by our brain's natural sleep cycles. As we transition from deeper stages of sleep to lighter stages, our dreams can be cut short, causing them to end just as they become more interesting or exciting.
What part of the brain affects sleep dreams and respiration?
The brainstem, specifically the pons and medulla oblongata, play a crucial role in regulating respiration during sleep. The limbic system and prefrontal cortex are involved in the generation and processing of dreams during the rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep.
Which part of the brain do dreams occur?
Dreams are still shrouded in mystery. It is unknown where in the brain dreams originate, if there is a single origin for dreams or if multiple portions of the brain are involved, or what the purpose of dreaming is for the body or mind. Many people believe the Hippocampus is important in dreams, as it houses long term memory.

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.
What hypothesis suggests that dreams are the brains attempt to make sense of the random firing of brain cells during REM sleep?
The hypothesis that suggests dreams are the brain's attempt to make sense of the random firing of brain cells during REM sleep is known as the Activation-Synthesis Theory. Proposed by researchers Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley in 1977, this theory posits that dreams result from the brain interpreting and synthesizing the spontaneous neural activity occurring during REM sleep. As a result, the brain creates narratives or stories based on these random signals, leading to the vivid and often nonsensical nature of dreams.
Are your dreams trying to tell you something in your sleep?
Your dreams are the way your brain processes conscious thoughts into unconscious thoughts and symbols. There are books and information to interpret the dreams that you have to help you understand them.
