Prompt: Science Summary


 * It's mysterious how dreamers can manifest content and how often they are remembered. The amount of dreams that are remembered depends on the type of dreamer. A high dream recaller, who recalls a dream regularly and a low dream recaller, who recalls a dream rarely. A study was made based on these 2 different types of dreamers by the Inserm researcher Perrine Ruby at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center. They performed an experiment using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to see which group of dreamers are more awake and reactive to the environmental stimuli. They took 41 dreamers, 21 high dream recallers who recalled dreams 5.2 mornings per week averagely and 20 low dream recallers who recalled 2 dreams per month averagely. The results of this experiment were that high dream recallers were more awake and alert during the day causing them to think better which relates to the cognitive theory of dreaming. They are more reactive to their environments because they wake up during their sleep and have the ability to recall their dreams.This research does not support the textbook but it is good information. It should be included in the next edition of this book because it would help the reader understand more about dreaming and it could be helpful information for someone who might be able to relate to it.**
