In the dream where you show up to school naked, why do you never go swimming?

This was my random question from blogspot; i decided to answer it, but it said my answer was too long. So, I am posting it.


Dreams, believed to occur during REM (Rapid Eye Movement), are a series of percieved images and sounds during sleep. When a person is awake and alert, their brain emitts beta waves. Once they become sleepy, other brain waves emit, such as Alpha waves, theta waves, and delta waves, all in different stages of sleep. However, when a person evters REM, the strangest thing happens: their brain emitts beta waves, the very same that come when they are wide awake. That being said, it should be considered that there are similarities between the dream world and what is really going on. Now, when people go to sleep, they generally are not wearing very much. This potentially could explain why people dream about being naked in the first place. As for the lack of swimming, nobody really goes to sleep in water, so there is no real reason to dream of swimming.
