Why Can't You Scream in Dreams?
In dreams, our ability to vocalize often diminishes due to the way our brain controls physical functions. While dreaming, particularly during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage, the body typically experiences a form of paralysis called REM atonia, which prevents us from acting out our dreams. This paralysis extends to the vocal cords, making it difficult, if not impossible, to scream or speak loud enough to be heard.
