A biomathematical model describes the internal dynamics of dream formation and spontaneous cognitive processes by incorporating neurocognitive factors such as dissatisfaction, acceptance, forgetting, and mental activity, each linked to established neural systems. A system of differential equations simulates interactions among these variables, and the model is validated using simulated neural data. Results demonstrate biologically plausible cognitive patterns consistent with findings from EEG and fMRI studies, particularly related to the default mode network, anterior cingulate cortex, and hippocampal memory mechanisms.
