Mind-bending dreams and what they all mean

Life is but a dream—a collection of moments found in dreams can imitate life and vice-versa, which means both reality and the dream state are more connected than you thought. After all, it is just a cranial rest retreat for several hours a day.

There are four main stages of sleep: initial stages where muscles begin to relax, the beginning of sleep (meaning heart rate and body temperature drop), a deep sleep in which slow delta brain waves begin, and REM, the final stage. REM is where the magic happens.

Beyond the cliched cavalcade of dream speculation, does each one have a deeper meaning than you expected? Dreams also cascade into one another, each having multi-layered meanings for money, vehicles or even keys. Cue the Inception horn sound. BWAAAAAAAHH. 

REM, an abbreviation for rapid eye movement, allows for consolidation of memories, and no surprise, your mood.
