Sleep is divided in 5 stages.
During stage 1, which is light sleep, we drift in and out of sleep and can be awakened easily. Our eyes move very slowly and muscle activity decreases.
When we enter stage 2 sleep, our eye movements stop and our brain waves become slower, with occasional bursts of rapid waves.
In stage 3, slow brain waves called delta waves begin to appear, interspersed with smaller, faster waves.
By stage 4, the brain produces delta waves almost exclusively. It is more difficult to wake someone from stages 3 and 4, that’s why they are called “deep sleep”.
When we switch into REM (Rapid Eyes Movements )sleep, our breathing becomes more rapid, irregular, and shallow, our eyes jerk rapidly in various directions, and our limb muscles become temporarily paralyzed.

Generally speaking, dreams happen during REM sleep (and lucid dreams too). But you can sometimes have a LD during a non-REM (nREM) sleep. REM dreams tend to be elaborately narrative whereas nREM dreams tend to be anchored in reality, more like normal thinking and without plot development.
Moreover, while as many as 70-95% of people awakened during REM remember their dreams, only 5-10% of those awakened during NREM report dreams.

Do this information answer to your question ?
