Q
3 aims
A
- Does dream recall differ between REM and nREM stages of sleep?
- Is there a positive correlation between subjective estimates of dream duration and length of REM period before waking?
- Are eye movement patterns related to dream content?
2
Q
aim 1: IV & DV & reaserch method
A

DV: Whether participants able to recall their dream or not
3

Q
results
A
- People able to recall the dream during rapid eye movement
- People able to recall the dream during rapid eye movement
- ## People able to recall the dream during rapid eye movement
8
Q
conclusion
A
- From REM but not nREM sleep. nREM is likely to happen because dreams are being recalled from the previous REM phase
- Participants can judge the length/duration and REM patterns related to dream content
- Measure of eye movement/brain waves shown that dream progress in time
