a distinction between real dreams versus sleep thought.
-
So, real dreams are you're in a submarine wrestling a chicken
-
while your grandmother looks disapprovingly on. Those are real dreams.
-
"Sleep thought" Is the sort of thing you get typically before you fall asleep
-
and it's like "Did I take the garbage out,
-
where is the garbage, did I take the garbage out?"
-
And so it's really just this kind of rumination
-
and you could do this while you're sleeping.
-
So, if you're woken up during slow-wave sleep
-
you're going to be thinking "Did I take the--yes,
-
while I was dreaming I was thinking about the garbage,"
-
but if you're woken up during REM, "But a monkey was eating my grandmother,"
