Abstract
It is shown that there is no need to resort to exoteric hypotheses to explain flying in a dream. From a biophysical point of view, the phenomenon of "flying in a dream" is based on the already studied adaptive mechanisms and daily rhythms of the human body. During sleep, the brain's arousal thresholds are lowered, making it easier to arouse the brain with weak signals. This study considers one of the mechanisms of such excitation with a change in body position, which is perceived by the brain in the rapid eye movement sleep phase as a decrease in body weight, which, under certain conditions, can cause the illusion of flying in the brain.
