The stage of sleep called REM, for "rapid eye movement", is the stage during which dreams occur. If you are awakened while in REM sleep, you remember your dream. This is one of the deeper stages of sleep, and is named after the fact that an observer can see the subject's eyeballs moving rapidly about beneath closed eyelids during this state.
