Document Summary

Dreaming: can occur in rem and non- rem (nrem) states, 75% of our sleep is nrem, nrem dreams tend to be short, dull, and undreamlike, rem sleep is characterized by rapid eye movement, muscle atonia, and often dreaming. Interference from the world: dreaming you need to urinate, speculative: dreaming of teeth falling out caused by tooth grinding (70% of people do during sleep) The dreaming brain: brainstem is very active, sending information forward, dlpfc (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) is deactivated, perhaps explaining our reduced ability during dreams, not noticing what"s weird but also our difficulty in remembering dreams. Dream recall: typically forget dreams, correlates with visuospatial skill and individual differences in working memory, animals and infants cannot report dreams, people commonly asset that that there was much more to their dream than they can report. What are dreams not like: films, visual images, recent social situations and pre-sleep behavior, recent episodic memories, even salient ones are rarely incorporated.
