BIOLOGICAL RHYTHMS
• The human body has 4 biological rhythms:
• Annual cycle seasonal variations in appetite, sleep habits, and moods
• 28-day cycles female menstrual cycle
• 24-hour cycle levels of alertness, body temperature, and growth hormone secretion
• 90-minute cycle sleep stages last for this long

SLEEP RHYTHM
• Circadian rhythm: 24 hour cycle of day and night through this biological clock
• Body temperature rises in the morning and drops during the day
• Thinking and memory are at their best during the daily peak of the circadian arousal
• Jet lag, change in amount sunlight can disrupt the rhythm

FOUR THEORIES OF WHY WE SLEEP
1. Sleep protects (during the night, sleeping is safer than moving around)
2. Helps to recuperate – restore and repair brain tissue
3. Helps memory – restore and rebuild memories of the day’s experiences
4. Helps growth process – pituitary gland releases growth hormone during sleep

WHY DO WE DREAM?
• To satisfy our wishes
• To file away memories
• To develop and preserve neural pathways (physiological function)
• To make sense of neural static (neural activity coming from brainstem)
• To reflect cognitive development

DREAM ANALYSIS ASSIGNMENT:
Recall a vivid dream or nightmare that you have experienced and write a brief description of it on the given index card. Use the Freudian dream analysis to “interpret” this dream/nightmare. Be prepared to share the analysis.

FREUD’S DREAM ANALYSIS1. Displacement - This occurs when the desire for one thing or person is symbolized by something or someone else.
2. Projection - This happens when the dreamer propels their own desires and wants onto another person.
3. Symbolization - This is characterized when the dreamer's repressed urges or suppressed desires are acted out metaphorically.
4. Condensation - This is the process in which the dreamer hides their feelings or urges by contracting it or underplaying it into a brief dream image or event. Thus the meaning of this dream imagery may not be apparent or obvious.
5. Rationalization - This is regarded as the final stage of dreamwork. The dreaming mind organizes an incoherent dream into one that is more comprehensible and logical. This is also known as secondary revision.
