Detailed explanation-1: -Activation-Synthesis Theory of Dreaming The main idea behind activation-synthesis theory is that dreams are just the brain’s efforts to make sense out of meaningless patterns of firing in the brain as we sleep. Certain circuits in the brain become activated during REM sleep.
Detailed explanation-2: -How would the activation-synthesis theory explain why people dream of an inability to move?-People have unusually vigorous eye movements during such dreams.-Activity increases in the occipital lobe of the cerebral cortex during such dreams.-Sexual arousal is most likely during such dreams.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Activation-Synthesis Hypothesis is a neurobiological theory of dreams. First proposed by Harvard University psychiatrists John Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley in 1977, the hypothesis suggests that dreams are created by changes in neuron activity that activates the brainstem during REM sleep.
