In the first stage, our brains are more active and produce strange dreams, and in the second, we simply reproduce what we experienced the day before. “When non-paradoxical dreams represent literally past events, paradoxical dreams tend to combine those events in a more creative way,” said lead researcher Jacob Jordan.
