question 8

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is probably the best explanation for why many people claim that they don't dream?

• A) The pituitarisine in their brains does not activate the message of the thalamus while they sleep, so they do not experience "sensory events," or dreams, in their sleep.
• B) The dorsolateral hypothalamus is not actively connected to the ventromedial hypothalamus, and so they are incapable of coding their REM experiences as dreams.
• C) They do not experience the daily events, both positive and negative, that stimulate dream activities.
• D) They simply do not remember their dreams; however, if they were awakened during a REM stage, they would be much more likely to remember a dream that they just woke up from.
