  Do babies dream?

  This is a controversial topic. Babies exhibit a huge amount of "REM" sleep,but it is unclear what's actually happening. The EEG patterns of baby sleep lack some of the complex structures that are characteristic of adult or even post age 5-6 sleep. Since the rate of connection-formation is high during the first two years of life, the dynamics on the those networks (the sleep brain rhythms) are rapidly evolving. And our technology is not good enough yet to be able to detect an electromagnetic signal that we can say corresponds to mental sounds or images, without a controlled experiment. Perhaps there is more known about sleep in newborn non-human animals. But, to conclude, researchers are not in complete agreement about the exact purposes of sleep and the different stages of sleep in adults, let alone in infants.
