The prefrontal cortex is deactivated during REM sleep so all the cognitive functions are impaired. But the limbic system is turned on so emotions are strong. The most common emotion in dreams is fear, followed by elation, then anger. But how the brain concocts dream images is debated. Some believe the cortex weaves a story from the chaotic mixture of signals from the lower brain. But as yet, there is no agreed upon theory of why people dream.
