Another fascinating thing about dreaming is not only what we dream, but how our bodies function while dreaming. You probably know that during REM sleep, a dreamer’s eyes twitch back and forth, but did you know the following happens?
- Heart rate increases
- Breathing becomes more rapid
- Body temperature increases
- Brain wave pattern changes
- Large muscles are paralyzed (so we can’t act out our dreams)
- Small muscles around the mouth and fingers twitch
- Sexual arousal
Yes! I knew there was a reason I wrote a paranormal erotic romance series about dreaming. 🙂
