Karana, Sukshma and Sthula bodies and dream is the activities of sukshma body. some Hindu philosophers argue that it have relation with your past or future birth. ancient society there was lot of people who try to explain the meaning of dreams. Before 1953, it was believed that brain is inactive during sleeping.

He called non-REM sleeping a quiet sleep because reduced brain activity in which no muscular inhibition.
