Lesson 19-3 The stuff of dreams

He showed that the average individual's sleep cycle is punctuated with peculiar

bursts of eye-movements, some drifting and slow, others jerky and rapid. People woken

during these periods of eye-movements generally reported that they had been dreaming.

When woken at other times they reported no dreams. If one group of people were

disturbed from their eye-movement sleep for several nights on end, and another group

were disturbed for an equal period of time but when they were not exhibiting eye-movements, the first group began to show some personality disorders while the others

seemed more or less unaffected. The implications of all this were that it was not the

disturbance of sleep that mattered, but the disturbance of dreaming.
