Abstract

The sleep-wake cycle is the result of the activity of multiple neurobiological network interactions. The dreaming feature is one interesting sleep on that represents sensorial components, mostly visual perceptions, accompaniedby intense emotions. Further complexity has been added to the topic of the neurobiological mechanism of dream generation by the current data suggesting drugs' influence on dream generation. Here, we discuss the review of some of the neurobiological mechanisms of the regulation of dream activity, with special emphasis on the effects of stimulants on dreaming.
