Summary
Summary
REM sleep has the dream experience as a frequent if not inevitable concomitant. Questions arise about the construction, function, and meaning of this peculiar and puzzling experience. How are the dreams of the night organized? How do they relate to REM sleep and to each other across the night? How do they relate to waking consciousness? And, do they serve an adaptive function? I will describe the selective mood-regulatory theory of dreaming as an experimentally based attempt to answer these questions.
The beginning of our exploration of a function for dreaming is at the observation that dreaming and sleep disturbances may be related.
