How vivid and emotional will be partly dependent on sleep, etc. phase of sleep in which the person resides at the time of dreaming. The most significant are two phases – the quick and the slow sleep. In the slow phase brain hardly works, metabolism is minimal and is breathing slowly and deeply. Awakened in this phase people rarely remember my dreams.
