1. yes, dreams are generated in the mind by each person as it applies to their contexts.
2. it depends, normally 3-5 times per night but varies according to need.
3. the experience of the day are incorporated into them, so too the experiences that are being referenced in the assimilation.
4. dreams are involved in processing of short term memories and do not get moved into long term memory.
