Epub 2009 Oct 1. According to Hobson, Pace-Schotter & Stickgold (2000), since image studies show activation of "limbic" and "paralimbic" structures of the forebrain during desynchronized sleep, as compared to wakefulness (120,126-128), emotion may be a primary shaper of dream plots, rather than playing a secondary role plot instigation. Two major theories have been proposed regarding the neural circuits involved in dreaming. Arch Ital Biol 1965;103:369-96. Van de Castle RL. Wiley-Interscience, New york 1990:535-583. 73. Baust's data regarding the cat are also evident (38). In fact, all the phases of wakefulness and sleep, including desynchronized sleep, occur in the cerebellar cortex. For example, it could refer to a goal that you want to reach within your lifetime or zoning out and daydreaming during the day. However, reflex penile erection is facilitated after spinal transection whereas mesencephalic transections significantly increase the latency to its reflex induction, without affecting the percentage of tests eliciting an erectile event. Longitudinal studies. Electrical stimulation of the nucleus reticularis pontis oralis evokes bilateral muscle atonia in decerebrate cats (52). Sakai K, Sastre JP, Salvert D, Touret M, Toyama M, Jouvet M. Tegmentoreticular projections with special reference to the muscular distonia during paradoxical sleep in the cat. Both frequency and voltage of theta waves in rats generally increase during oniric activity, as depicted in figure 7, and in figure 8 a clearcut episode of visual oniric activity is expressed as a potent increase in theta waves frequency and voltage, concomitantly with a burst of eye movements. Much experimental work is needed before a convincing function can be ascribed to the fascinating physiological phenomenon that is dreaming. Also, correlation is high when theta waves in the thalamic reticular nucleus are matched to those occurring in the nucleus reticularis pontis oralis. Hobson JA, Pace-Schott EF, Stickgold R. Dreaming and the brain: toward a cognitive neuroscience of conscious states. Sigmund Freuds theory of dreams suggests that dreams represent unconscious desires, thoughts, wish fulfillment, and motivations. The previous station of these nuclei is the interpeduncular nucleus, whose stimulation with carbachol caused sleep within nearly 30 seconds. In non-human animals the report regarding dreams is obviously impossible but, fortunately, a dream can be detected in both humans and other species by analyzing its motor, vegetative and electrophysiological manifestations, as will be described below. Despite the fact that many studies have found that mental activity during wakefulness differs from that during dreaming, the mechanisms involved in both may differ as to the degree of control over the release and combination of memorized information in wakefulness and in desynchronized sleep. In rats bilateral lesion of the midbrain reticular formation is followed by a long lasting state of synchronized sleep, with predominance of phase III (Timo-Iaria, Assumpo & Bernardi, unpublished observations). Jouvet M. Neurophysiology of the states of sleep. By recording potentials from large ensembles of rat hippocampal neurons related to the body position in space (place cells) during behavioral tasks, Wilson & McNaughton (87) found that neurons that fired together when the animals occupied particular locations in the environment (hence the name place cells) also exhibited an increased tendency to fire together during subsequent sleep, in comparison to sleep episodes preceding the behavioral tasks. J Neurophysiol 1966;29:871-87. Head jerky movements may reflect vestibular dreams. The reinterpretation of dreams: an evolutionary hypothesis of the function of dreaming. 10. Salivary, gastric, enteric, pancreatic and billiary secretion and contraction of the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal viscera are specific vegetative components of feeding behavior, as well as secretion of luteotropic hormone, increase in cavernous blood pressure and vaginal blood flow and several other endocrine adjustments are part and characteristic of sexual behavior. Acta Med Iug 1978;32:45-50. Madsen PC, Holm S, Vorstup S, Friberg L, Lassen NA, Wildschiotz LF. Proposed by Harvard psychiatrists J. Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley in 1977, the theory posits that dreams are your brains attempts to make sense of random patterns of firing neurons while you slumber. Theta waves, discovered by Jung and Kornmller in 1938 (72), were extensively studied by Green & Arduini (73), who proved they are related to arousal. Disclaimer. Curr Opin Neurobiol 1992;2:759-63. Hence, experiments with such animals are extremely valuable and thus will be emphasized in the present review. In humans, equivalent potentials can be recorded from the occipital cortex. Differentiating Oneiric Stupor in Agrypnia Excitata From Dreaming Disorders. Ribeiro S, Goyal V, Mello CV, Pavlides C. Brain gene expression during REM sleep depends on prior waking experience. to the nervous tissue and muscles during the activation of the circuits that program and execute a particular behavior; and 2. It is most likely an elementary brain activity in homeotherms and thus, if dreaming has a function, it probably plays a similar role in the human brain and in nonhuman brains as well. Physiol., Springer-Verlag, Berlin 1972:166-307. Although related to the information fluxogram displayed in figure 2 of the present review, Hernandez-Pon's process involves the function of participating in "adaptive waking behavior", which does not seem to have a real meaning (136). The leading theory of dreaming in the early decades of this research was the psychoanalytic, which views dreams as highly meaningful reflections of unconscious mental functioning. With developments in understanding of the neurophysiology of REM sleep, new theories of dreaming were proposed. The caudalmost portion of this system (then labeled descending hypnogenic cholinergic) comprises the ventral and dorsal Gudden's nuclei, whose stimulation with carbachol triggered sleep in nearly 20 seconds. As any information consciously identified, a dream triggers a specific behavior, that we call an oniric behavior. 64. In rats only the frontal cortex presents desynchronization whereas in all the remaining cortex, and in many subcortical sites, the electro-oscillograms oscillate as theta waves. Behav Brain Res 1995;69:203-6. 92. This may well reflect auditory dreams, as has been found in humans (36,37). 89. Milbrandt J. The neurophysiological mechanisms of the postural and motor events during desynchronized sleep. Valle AC, Pellarin L, Timo-Iaria C. Oniric patterns in the rat. Mol Brain Res 1996;38:77-84. 100. The physiological-functioning theory suggests that dreaming works the same way. Eye movements in born-blinds are probably due to a quite different reason. Ergebn. Neuroscience 1997;81:893-926. This may be related to the presence of pet animals in most families in the Western countries and consequently this "subject" probably becomes the main thought of children. Douglas NJ. However, in the animals subjected to a rich-environment zif-268 increased significantly from synchronized to desynchronized sleep but decreased from wakefulness to synchronized sleep. Neurons from the nucleus reticularis pontis oralis send fibers to nucleus reticularis gigantocellularis in the medulla, a part of which passes through the dorsal tegmental field of the pons, and electrical stimulation of both nuclei also produces inhibition of muscle tone (53,54). Esoteric power, useless, useful: considerations about dreams in cognitive-behavioural therapy. Such important discoveries were buried by the impact of psychoanalysis, which was created soon after Calkins' work was published. Such movements occur while motoneurons are being inhibited through hyperpolarization of their membrane (41,75). Sleep Res 1973;4:65. Exp Brain Res 1989;74:11-23. Above the transection, synchronized and desynchronized sleep keep occurring but without eye movements. Not only theta waves do occur in the cerebellar cortex during desynchronized sleep but also spindles and delta waves are found in this organ in synchronized sleep, just as in neocortical areas. Confrontations Psychiatriques 1986;27:153-81. By measuring the voltage of the potential generated by the rotation it is possible to know if the object is near or far. Darwin C. The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and Xenophanes, nearly 2,400 years ago, were opposed to the prevailing view of the phantastikon, that is, mystic apparitions, and to the premonitory character of dreams as their main characteristics. 77. Our hypothesis is that the cerebellum is involved in overall corrections of the components of all kinds of behavior, including sleep. and transmitted securely. The Williams & Wilkins Company, Baltimore, 1967;45:352-423. Brain Res 1985;327:362-6. 118. Such electrophysiological studies demonstrate that the abovementioned sites in the central nervous system are involved in the oniric movements but they do not prove that such structures generate them. C R Soc Biol (Paris) 1959;153:1024-8. It seems that not only humans but also dogs, cows, sheep and goats and the entire family of four-legged viviparous animals do dream. Guazzi M, Baccelli G, Zanchetti A. Carotid body chemoreceptors: physiological role in buffering fall in blood pressure during sleep. From the spinal cord Marini (1997) recorded slow (delta) regularly oscillating waves during desynchronized sleep (81), which may be related to activation of spinal neurons during dreaming. The same holds true for animals that live in water, such as fishes, molusks, crustacea and other similar animals; it is impossible to invoke as a proof that they do sleep the shutting of their eyes, inasmuch as they do not have eyelids but it is obvious that they periodically do rest, immobile, what perhaps does explain why at night their predators attack them heavily and devour them. 87. Nofzinger EA, Mintun MA, Wiseman MB, Kupfer DJ, Moore Ry. It is interesting that the representation of animals in dreams of infants is quite conspicuous. 116. Valle AC, Timo-Iaria C, Sameshima K, yamashita R. Theta waves and behavioral manifestations of alertness and dreaming activity in the rat. The other is that dreams are caused Dream recall and eye movement during sleep and their relation to eye movements, bodily motility and dreaming. sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal Such periods were overlooked in the classic studies of Loomis and co-workets (13), in which they identified the phases of synchronized (another term coined by Adrian but now to label slow waves, i.e., potentials with a low frequency and a high voltage) sleep. 80. In rats we found similar potentials in the amygdala as related to olfactory dreams, expressed as rostrum movements (32). Dreaming 1996;6:121-30. During the past two decades several authors also did quantify the kinds of dreams. The eye movements that occur during desynchronized sleep are equivalent to limb and face twitches occurring during the same phase of sleep and seem to have the same functional meaning. Takakusaki K, Ohta y, Mori S. Single medullary reticulospinal neurons exert postsynaptic inhibitory effects via inhibitory interneurons upon alpha-motoneurons innervating cat hindlimb muscles. WebAbstract. (ed. 124. In: The Neuropsychology of Sleep and Dreaming, Antrobus, J. S. & Bertini, M. Roffwarg et al. Hobson, Pace-Schott & Stickgold (2000) do not take into consideration that a single object or a brief key fact or image occurring in the day preceding a given dream may be enough to trigger an entire dreamed "story" related to it (120). Depression of electrically induced reflexes (H- reflexes) in man during low voltage EEG sleep. Desynchronized sleep has been identified in many mammals and birds (16) but below the birds only in crocodiles brief periods of an equivalent phase (eye movements, low voltage electro-oscillograms and cervical hypotonia) seem to occur (17). Mirmiran M, Van den Dungen H, Uylings HBM. In fact, when the voltage of each theta wave in one site is compared with the voltage in another site it is possible to assess the degree of coincidence or phase shift between the two sites. Crick F, Mitchison G. The function of dream sleep. Ann Rev Psychol 1990;41:557-884. 2021 Aug 30;24(2):543. doi: 10.4081/ripppo.2021.543. Freuds wish-fulfillment. 16. NeuroReport 1997;8:3-7. Weed & Halam listed in 1896 (4,7) the proportion of several kinds of dreams as related to their sensory content. Arch Ital Biol 1963;101:648-68. Decety J, Jeannerod M, Durozard DR, Baveal J. Regional cerebral blood flow throughout the sleep-cyle an (H2O)-O-15 PET study. Much effort was devoted to searching for parallels between physiological aspects of REM sleep and characteristics of associated dreams, with modest results. Shiromani PJ, Winston S, McCarley RW. 38. Penile erection, that also occurs in monkeys, is present during desynchronized (paradoxical or REMsleep) but it is not necessarily linked to erotic dreams. activation-synthesis. Arch Ital Biol 1962;100:216-22. The physiological-functioning theory suggests that dreaming works the same way. The meaning of dreams is therefore still an unsolved problem. 75. WebThis theory also implies that dreams are not independently functional but rather a coproduct of the sleeping brain, reflecting the dreamers physiological and psychological 13 Loomis AL, Harvey DN, Hobart GA. Distribution of disturbance patterns in the human electroencephalogram, with special reference to sleep. As mentioned above, Plato, preceding by twenty four centuries one of the dogmas of psychoanalysis, believed that "forbidden" dreams, such as incestuous or criminal dreams, were only a way of doing incestual sex or killing someone without punishment. In 1963 we found that cholinergic stimulation of a descending pathway (within Nauta's limbic-mesencephalic system) causes sleep (33). Two major theories have been proposed regarding the neural circuits involved in dreaming. Predicting Intention to Participate in Community Physical Activities for Adults with Physical Disabilities. Roffwarg HP, Herman J, Lamstein S. The middle ear muscles: predictability of their phasic action in REM sleep from dream recall. Pompeiano O. 2. Muscle atonia during desynchronized sleep is, as stated above, generated in the alpha-coeruleus nucleus and involves both direct and indirect pathways that inhibit the motoneurons. There are other definitions of the word dream, too. As pointed In cats, Thomas & Benoit (18) have found oniric activity during synchronized sleep, similar to what we described in rats as pre-paradoxical sleep (19,20) as intermediate phase. Kubin L, Davies RO, Pack AI. (1962) clearly demonstrated that in the cat blood diastolic pressure falls deeply to around 60 mmHg, beginning as soon as the electrocorticogram starts to desynchronize. A comparison of presleep and REM sleep thematic content. Jouvet (12,119), one of the most important researchers on sleep, suggests that dreaming is "a guardian and programmer of the hereditary part of our personality" and as such it plays a role in our general behavior. Geschichte der Physiologie. "Dreams are not ghosts (phantasmata), since they are closely related to the events of the previous day". 103. No wonder that most dreams in humans have a visual component, explaining the reason why eye movements occur in any kind of dream, alone or as part of non-visual dreams. Behav Brain Sci 2000;23:867-76. The discovery of REM sleep kickstarted a flurry of scientific research into the mechanisms of the sleeping brain. 1. Considering that most dreams in rats (31,32) are related to olfaction, not to vision, potentials that resemble PGOs in the amygdala of this animal species should also be taken as signs of dreaming rather than PGOs. Regional cerebral glucose metabolic rate in human sleep assessed by positron emission tomography. Sleep 1999;22:409-18. Mori S, Matysuyama K, Kohyama J, Kobayashi y, Takakusaki K. Neuronal constituents of postural and locomotor control systems and their interactions in cats. Xu Q, Xie H, Zheng D, Wu X, Zhang Y, Li T, Yan T. J Pers Med. In cats desynchronized sleep appears also as tonic cortical desynchronization (figure 3) but in the hippocampus, septal area and amygdala theta waves predominate, as in rats and rabbits. This is for sure the most enigmatic issue about dreaming. To what degree, and in what way, implications can be drawn from these findings for the psychology of dreaming is controversial. Thus, any study of dreaming also lends itself to psychological scrutiny and clinical application. Cesar Timo-Iaria (in memorian); Angela Cristina do Valle. during desynchronized sleep prevents sustained brain inactivity, which might occur during sleep. Intermediate state of sleep in the cat. Esquirol, one of the French psychiatrists who started the revolution that changed the ancient (an cruel) view of the mental diseases, spent several hours at night observing how his patients behaved during sleep and concluded that their movements while asleep were related to their dreams, just as Aristotle had found long ago. 120. Therefore, any neural event, be it running or just thinking, or dreaming, requires a large amount of oxygen, which is carried to the nervous system by the blood through powerful hemodynamic adjustments, such as increase in blood pressure, heart rate and central blood flow (21,25,26). When a dream is a nightmare, both motor and vegetative events may be very intense. They also argue that even "expensive and cumbersome evoked potential and computer averaging approaches have not helped us to analyze and compare desynchronized sleep physiology with that of waking in an effective way". It is usually taken for granted that PGO potentials are essential manifestations for the electrophysiological identification of dreaming activity but such view is not well founded. The leading theory of dreaming in the early decades of this research was the psychoanalytic, which views dreams as highly meaningful reflections of unconscious mental functioning. Plato, despite his logical view of dreams, antecipated by 24 centuries one of the dogmas of psychoanalysis, stating that the dreams with a sexual background, mainly those with an incestuous content, and those in which the dreamer attacked or even killed someone, did, in fact, represent occult wishes that only could be fulfilled without punishment as an oniric experience. Brain warning function for REM-sleep. 59. & Bertini, M. However, during desynchronized sleep it was drastically reduced, being entirely inhibited for most of the time. Later research argues that dreams are physiological, beginning with random electrical impulses deep within the brain stem. 44. Brain Mechanism and Perceptual Awareness. Candia et al. 27. cognitive development. WebAs the foregoing discussion of rival theories of dream function suggests, there are many findings that contradict the idea that dreams have any kind of physiological or 94. J Neurophysiol 1964;27:152-71. By visually examining the amplitude of theta waves in these examples it seems they vary at random but when the instant variation of voltage is plotted as a function of time, a regular variation appears during the phasic movements (figure 10). Heart rate decreases down to nearly 150 bpm 1 or 2 seconds following the cessation of eye movements. Electroencephal Clin Neurophysiol 1990;76:388-99. However, they ignored that the dreams were produced by the brain. Bookshelf Mirmiran M, Van Someren E. The importance of REM sleep for brain maturation. Plenum Press, 1990. Front Neurol. This theory is supported by the fact that the body has decreased metabolism by up to 10% during sleep. Vogel GW, Foulkes D, Trosman H. Ego functions and dreaming during sleep onset. He properly related such dreams to his concern with that important war. Considering dreams as hallucinations, Hernndez-Pen (1966) theorized that they are possible because the system responsible for wakefulness is inactivated during sleep, releasing memory tracings which are brought to consciousness. Mori D, Shik ML, yagodnitsyn AS. With developments in understanding of the neurophysiology of REM sleep, new Assoc Psychophysiol Stud Sleep. The hypothesis has been recently put forward by Revonsuo (2000) that the function of dreaming is to simulate threatening events, and to rehearse threat perception and threat avoidance (111). 60. Science 1953;118:273-4. Buchsbaum MS, Gillin JC, Wu J, Hazlett E, Sicotte N, Dupont RM, Bunney WE. C R S Soc Biol (Paris) 1964;158:99-103. With developments in understanding of the neurophysiology of REM sleep, new theories of dreaming were proposed. Timo-Iaria C, yamashita R, Hoshino K, Sousa-Melo A. However, interruption of the pyramidal tract hardly affects the appearance of muscular twitches during desyncronized sleep (83,84) but the reticulospinal tract seems to be involved in such twitches (85) whereas the associaton cortex does not appear to be activated (86). Their data do not depart from modern studies of the same kind. Thermoregulation is impaired in desynchronized sleep (64) but it is unlikely that body temperature changes due to dreaming activity, inasmuch as variations of temperature are slow while dreaming is a fast pace phenomenon. 123. Advances in Sleep Research, vol. 99. In: Baust, W. (1991) and Lovblad et al. Behav Brain Sci 2000;23:877-901. As a matter of fact, manifestations of dreaming have been identified in many species, including chickens, chimpanzees, cats, rats and in some birds. 63. Wallace CS, Withers GS, George VM, Clayton OF, Greenough WT. Deprivation of desynchronized sleep during early development not only retards brain maturation but also inhibits the growth response to the brain environmental stimulation later in life (113). 129. Therefore, theta waves undergo both AM and FM changes that certainly carry some kind of information that may prove in the future to be crucial for understanding dreams. 109. 114.

The waking level of aminergic modulation falls to 50% during synchronized sleep and to nearly zero in desynchronized sleep (121,122). Energy conservation theory posits that the main function of sleep is to reduce a person's energy demand during part of the day and night when it is least efficient to hunt for food. Electroencephal Clin Neurophysiol 1955:673-690. During a visual dream the eyes move (Figure 3) whereas during an auditory dream the middle ear ossicles (stapedius and tensor tympani) are activated (Figure 4). Jouvet believes that dreaming activity plays a key role during the earliest years of life and thus may be involved in continuously programming some of the most subtle reactions of our consciousness during wakefulness. Similarly, in rats any kind of sensory stimulation does immediately mobilize sniffing and vibrissal scanning movements. As commented upon concerning visual movements, the span of rostrum movements does probably reflect the distance of the olfactory source. Vertes RP. Its is noteworthy that Weed & Halam's data, published in 1896, are close to those reported by Rechtschaffen & Buchignani in 1992, which was calculated as the mean of the average of seven different studies published by other authors (40). Rostrum movements in desynchronized sleep as a prevalent manifestation of dreaming activity in Wistar rats. Therefore, desynchronized sleep should be ascribed a homeothermic function (116). Progr Neurobiol 1984;22:241-88. Some peculiarities of the dreams of patients with vestibular diseases. One is that dreams are generated by the activation of neural activity in the brainstem and its signal transmission to the cortex. Such high values of r may mean that theta waves arrive in such areas almost synchronously, coming from some other sites in the central nervous system. 2017 May 31;2017(1):nix009. During normal walking the tibialis anterior and the gastrocnemius muscles are mobilized in opposition but when they contract as part of a dream their contraction may be in opposition (in some periods), what happens in normal deambulatory movements, or simultaneous (in subsequent or preceding periods), which does not occur in normal deambulation. Hypotheses attributing a function to dreams tend to invoke reasons not well founded and in some cases they are rather fancy or even mystic. Bol Inst Est Md Biol Mxico 1962;20:155-64. Expt Neurol 1976;53:328-38. Unfortunately, despite the opinion of great scientists of the past, most researchers that deal with sleep and dreaming, probably moved by philosophical, religious prejudice and a faulty reasoning, do not accept the idea that non-human animals do dream. 32. Such movements may take the sleeper to fall off the bed. ), Brainstem Mechanisms of Behavior. A related point of view was put forward by Krueger & Obal (1993), who proposed that, on the basis of use-dependent synaptic stabilization, the neuronal assembly not activated during wakefulness will be activated during sleep, to prevent it from atrophy (117). Am J Physiol 1937;118:8-14. Rapid increase of an immediate early gene messenger RNA in hippocampal neurons by synaptic NMDA receptor activation. 105. NeuroReport 1995;6:532-6. It has, however, been utilized with a great success in sleep studies. In some animals, however, a reduction of heart rate and respiration may occur, what also happens during an attentive wakefulness if they are threatened. 111. 98. The heart rate and breathing quickens, and blood pressure rises. The American psychologist Mary Whiton Calkins published in 1893 an important, although entirely unkwnown, article under the title Statistics of Dreams, wherein she introduced the technique of arousing people when they moved parts of the body during sleep and asking them to report their dreams (4,7). In more recent years several approaches confirmed these findings (89). Science 1987;238:797-9. World Fed Sleep Res Soc Newsletter 1997;5:22-3. Wehr TA. ), Ermdung, Schlaf und Traum, Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag, Sttutgart 1971:173-242. 67. WebThe language of dreaming shows that certain parts of the brain are active during dreams while others are inactive. Usually such increases in blood pressure are not enough to lead it to attain normal levels but during a nightmare blood pressure may go up to 200 mmHg. Some presently available explanations seem science fiction, rather than true science. Baust W. Die Phnomenologie des Schlafes. Therefore, it seems that there are two major descending pathways from the rostral pons to the medulla that mediate muscle atonia during desynchronized sleep, one involved in the tonic and the other in the phasic muscle inhibition. Later, theta waves were also found in rats during both attentive wakefulness and desynchronized sleep (19,30,31,74-76). Braz J Med Biol Res 1992;5:745-50. Table 1 shows the results of some of such studies, including our data concerning nearly 2,000 dreaming episodes recorded from rats. Brain Res 1979;176:233-54. 130. Physiol Behav 1972;8:363-71.
