Today’s word - REM
Other forms: REMSREM is the stage of sleep when someone is dreaming and their eyes are moving behind their closed lids. If your dog's legs move and twitch like he's running in his sleep, he's in a REM state.
REM is an acronym of rapid eye movement. Scientists once believed that all dreaming happened during this phase of sleep, but they now know that it's possible to dream all night long, even when you're not in the REM stage.
