Dreaming: vivid dreams occur during rem sleep. Everyone dreams a number of times each night. Dreams appear to take place in real time, dream sessions get longer throughout a sleep session. Nrem dreams are less vivid except : night terrors. Dreams are the symbolic fulfillment of unconscious wishes. Manifest content: loosely connected series of bizarre images and actions. Latent content: true meaning of the dream: carl jung. Drea(cid:373)s are e(cid:454)pressio(cid:374)s of our (cid:862)collective unconscious(cid:863) (histor(cid:455) of the hu(cid:373)a(cid:374) ra(cid:272)e; (cid:862)consist of mythological motifs or primordial images, for which reason the (cid:373)(cid:455)ths of all (cid:374)atio(cid:374)s are its real e(cid:454)po(cid:374)e(cid:374)ts(cid:863)) Dreams as meaningless brain activity: j. allan hobson: activation-synthesis. The cortex is bombarded with signals from the brainstem, producing the pattern of waking eeg. In response, the cortex generates images, actions and emotions from personal memory stores. In the absence of external verification, these dream events are fragmented and bizarre and reveal nothing more than that the cortex has been activated.
