Dr Bethune went on working all the night. The next day while an operation was going on, a young man ran in and said to the doctors, "Several hundred enemy soldiers are coming."

What do we do every night, whether we know it or not We dream. Researchers have found that We dream about the same amount on nights that we remember our dreams as on the nights that we dont. The amount of time we sleep is broken into cycles and states. There are two states of sleep: The first state, is called NREM, or non-rapid eye movement. It consists of four stages: Stage 1 is when we feel relaxed and sleepy. Stage 2 is when we move into a light sleep. We dont dream in these two stages. Stages 3 and 4 are called slow-wave sleep. In these stages, we are in a deep sleep and the dreams we have are ones we dont usually remember. The second state is called REM, or rapid eye movement. This is when we dream the most and have the dreams we remember the most. For many people, their REM dreams are the most meaningful and visually exciting. Approximately three-fourths of our total sleep time is spent in the NREM state and one-fourth in the REM state. We sleep by cycling through these states. Throughout the night, we experience four to six NREM/REM cycles.Many people remember nothing about their dreams when they awake. The person in the I _.
