Question

Dreams have always held a universal fascination. Some primitive societies believe
that the soul leaves the body and visits the scene of the dream. Generally,
however, dreams are accepted to be illusions, having much in common with day-
dreams-the fantasies of our waking life. When dreaming, however, one tends to
believe fully in the reality of the dream world, however inconsistent, illogical and
odd it may be. Although most dreams apparently happen spontaneously, dream
activity may be provoked by External influences. Suffocation' dreams are
connected with the breathing difficulties of a heavy cold, for instance. Internal
disorders such as Indigestion can cause vivid dreams, and dreams of racing fire-
engines may be caused by the ringing of an alarm bell. Experiments have been
carried out to investigate the connection between deliberately inflicted pain and
dreaming. For example, a sleeper pricked with a pin perhaps dreams of fighting a
battle and receiving a severe sword wound. Although the dream is stimulated by
the physical discomfort, the actual events of the dream depend on the
associations of the discomfort in the mind of the sleeper.
