Document Summary
Rem: rapid eye movement, muscle atonia (muscles are not moving= sleep walking) Dreams and waking states: people who don"t have dream imagery (visual anoneria) also have difficulty in imaging memories when awake (visual irreminiscence) Dream recall: ability to remember corresponds with visuospatial skills and high working memory. How to record dreams: ask people to tell what their dreams are like, ask to keep a dream diary, ask to report it in the morning, wake people up during times throughout the night. What are dreams like: have scene shifts, narrative (story like), first person, emotions match content (are always animated, selection bias: bizarre dreams are easier to remember. What dreams are not like: not like films, not based on episodic memory. Speculative: things in real world effect dreams (teeth falling out = teeth grinding) How can you affect your dreams: attention to specific concerns = dreaming about it, dream incubation: unconscious mind is working on a solution to a problem.
