Document Summary

Why do we remember some dreams: those in last rem period, reflection of cortical activity, lucid dreams. Drug related: antidepressants, beta blockers, antihypertensive, cipro, antihistamines, l-dopa, withdrawal. Measured both frequency of nightmare and anxiety. Dream logs indicated an average of 25 per year. Ego; manages id, wants to sleep, but urges invade consciousness. Ego censors id and therefore disguises wishes. Activation synthesis: dream state generator activation (sensory, motor and visceral neurons activated) synthesis (cortex integrates elements) By age 72 (24 years asleep, 5 years dreaming) Dream world is much like waking world. Waking world allows for real perceptual input, in dreams we need to construct reality. Drug effects: major categories (eg depressants, stimulants) Association of neutral stimulus with one that consistently elicts a response. Model: usc ucr, pair cs with ucs, cs cr, attention cs, orienting reflex, model is not response contingent, cr does not equal ucr.
