During REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, the brain experiences vivid dreams involving motion and issues corresponding commands to run, kick, jump, punch, etc.. Normally, neurons in the brain disconnect much of our muscular apparatus so that we are effectively paralysed and these commands are countermanded before muscles can translate them into action. However, with REM-Behaviour Disorder, this does not occur.
