Question

Forty-year-old Roger insists that he never dreams. Research suggests that he probably:

A. experiences very little REM sleep.
B. would report a vivid dream if he were awakened during REM sleep.
C. dreams during Stage 4 rather than during REM sleep.
D. experiences more Stage 4 sleep than most people.
E. passes through the sleep cycle much more rapidly than most people.

Answer 1

A. Experiences very little REM sleep. Most dreaming occurs during REM sleep because your body needs to experience some form of paralysis in order to not act out your dreams.

Answer 2

Hey!

Your answer is B.

This is because REM sleep is when you tend to dream, and being awakened then would make it more likely for him to remember his dreams. He most likely thinks he doesn't dream because he doesn't remember them.

Hope this helps! :D
