hypnagogic state this state is a period of time that consists of pieces of images and thoughts that occur as we fall asleep. This stage is then followed by a slow-wave sleep, which is when the neocortex sends out waves in low frequencies and vast amplitudes. These signals are often recorded by using EEG (electroencephalographic). Researchers found out after seeing the EEG recordings that a night’s sleep is dispersed by periods in which make readings irregular in frequency and low in amplitude which makes it similar the state where a person is awake. These periods of mental activity are called REM sleep. After REM Occurs this is when dreams start to happen. During REM sleep the body is paralyzed not being able to move due to the motor neurons being inhibited. During REM the eyes start move rapidly when eyes closed, irregular breathing and increase in heart beat rate. The first REM lasts for ten minutes and occurs after ninety minutes of slow-wave sleep, then the second and third REM stage occurs for a much longer time but they flow a much shorter slow-wave sleep. The fourth and final REM is when most of our dreams occur and lasts for twenty to thirty minutes and then after that is when we wake up. Most dreams are usually remembered from what occurred in the Final REM. …show more content…
Therapists would ask their clients’ about their dreams and what problems they have and try to connect the dream to the problem. Thanks to Sigmund Freud 's The Interpretation of Dreams we were able to find out what dreams were all about . Freud described dreams as the first step to the road of success, what gives us the desire of wish fulfillment. (Hill) dreams have become a very interesting topic for everybody. The study of dreams has become one of the major topics in the process of teaching and in research such a change from the past when dreams where nothing. Now a days many psychologists study a lot about dreams and have created many theories about dreams and how they could study it more in the future with better technology to record it. (Hill) all in all, this study of dreams is both interesting and important . the meaning behind our dreams can reveal so much about a person 's personality. dreams also reveal a lot about how people feel towards certain situations or events that are occurring in their lives. as a result it is important to pay more attention to dreams, and hope fully future psychologist will incorporate dream analysis into their therapeutic
