The brain as a dream state generator: an activation-synthesis hypothesis of the dream process.
Hobson JA, McCarley RW. Hobson JA, et al. Am J Psychiatry. 1977 Dec;134(12):1335-48. doi: 10.1176/ajp.134.12.1335. Am J Psychiatry. 1977. PMID: 21570
Recent research in the neurobiology of dreaming sleep provides new evidence for possible structural and functional substrates of formal aspects of the dream process. ...Formal features of the generator processes with strong implications for dream theory inclu …

Do animals dream?
Malinowski JE, Scheel D, McCloskey M. Malinowski JE, et al. Conscious Cogn. 2021 Oct;95:103214. doi: 10.1016/j.concog.2021.103214. Epub 2021 Oct 13. Conscious Cogn. 2021. PMID: 34653784 Review.
The understanding of biological functions of sleep has improved recently, including an understanding of the deep evolutionary roots of sleep among animals. However, dreaming as an element of sleep may be particularly difficult to address in non-human animals because in hum …

The neural correlates of dreaming.
Siclari F, Baird B, Perogamvros L, Bernardi G, LaRocque JJ, Riedner B, Boly M, Postle BR, Tononi G. Siclari F, et al. Nat Neurosci. 2017 Jun;20(6):872-878. doi: 10.1038/nn.4545. Epub 2017 Apr 10. Nat Neurosci. 2017. PMID: 28394322 Free PMC article.
However, when awakened from sleep, we sometimes recall dreams and sometimes recall no experiences. Traditionally, dreaming has been identified with rapid eye-movement (REM) sleep, characterized by wake-like, globally 'activated', high-frequency electroencephalograph …

What are the neural mechanisms and physiological functions of dreams?
Tsunematsu T. Tsunematsu T. Neurosci Res. 2023 Apr;189:54-59. doi: 10.1016/j.neures.2022.12.017. Epub 2022 Dec 23. Neurosci Res. 2023. PMID: 36572252 Review.
People often cannot recall their dreams, even though people dream every night. Dreaming is a strange physiological phenomenon. Research has demonstrated that dreaming is closely associated with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. It is known that dreami …

REM sleep function: Mythology vs. reality.
Siegel JM. Siegel JM. Rev Neurol (Paris). 2023 Oct;179(7):643-648. doi: 10.1016/j.neurol.2023.08.002. Epub 2023 Aug 23. Rev Neurol (Paris). 2023. PMID: 37625974 Free PMC article. Review.
Since the discovery of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep in 1953, misconceptions have arisen as to the evidence for its adaptive function and its relation to dreams. Eye movements recorded during REM sleep have not been consistently reported to mirror the eye movements predic …

Dreams and nightmares in healthy adults and in patients with sleep and neurological disorders.
Siclari F, Valli K, Arnulf I. Siclari F, et al. Lancet Neurol. 2020 Oct;19(10):849-859. doi: 10.1016/S1474-4422(20)30275-1. Epub 2020 Sep 16. Lancet Neurol. 2020. PMID: 32949545 Review.
They show that dreaming is reflected in physiological signals, behaviours, and brain activity patterns, and that the body can enact dream content. Yet, the dream body can also be distinct from the real body; in their dreams, patients with congenital pa …
