Objective To research the relationship between the abnormity of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep parameters and depressive proneness and depression.(目的探討快眼動（REM）．睡眠參數異常與抑郁傾向和抑郁癥的關系。)

The brain is as active during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep-when most vivid dreams occur-as it is when fully awake, says Dr.(匹茲堡大學的埃里克博士說，在夢境很形象的快速動眼睡眠中，大腦和完全清醒時一樣活躍。)

Dreams occur during the part of sleep called REM (Rapid Eye Movement).(夢想是發生在REM睡眠的部分(快速眼動)。)

Then, in REM sleep (the rapid eye movement period when most dreaming occurs), it calls up bits of older memories that are somehow related, and melds them together.(然后，在快速眼動睡眠(多數夢產生時的快速眼球運動時期)中，它將喚起一些有關系的舊記憶，并將其糅合起來。)

Normally, during the dreaming part of sleep (called the rapid eye movement or REM part of sleep), the body is paralyzed.(一般來說，在做夢過程中(被稱為快速眼球轉動或快速眼動睡眠)，身體處于癱瘓狀態。)

Healthy people rotate between three states of vigilance: wakefulness, rapid eye-movement (REM) sleep and non-REM sleep.(健康人群會在三種警戒狀態下轉換：覺醒，快速動眼睡眠，非快速動眼睡眠。)

And cognitive neuroscientists have discovered that dreams and the rapid eye movement (rem) that happens while you're dreaming are linked to our ability to learn and remember.(認識神經學家已經發現，夢和你入夢時的快速眼動(REM)，與我們的學習、記憶能力是相聯系的。)

They found that success in learning correlated with the amount of stage-2 non rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, the stage preceding deep rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.(他們發現學習上的成功和第二階段非快速眼動（NREM）相關。NREM是深快速眼動（REM）睡眠之前的階段。)

The brain is as active during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep when most vivid dreams occur as it is when fully awake, says Dr. Eric Nofzinger at the University of Pittsburgh.(匹茲堡大學的艾瑞克·諾夫辛格博士說，大腦在快速眼動睡眠期和完全清醒時一樣活躍，大多數最生動的夢都發生在這個時候。)

Dreams occur in both rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep, and non-REM sleep.(在快速眼動（REM）睡眠期和非快速眼動睡眠期都會有夢境生成。)
