“…Stimulation administered in most sensory modalities has demonstrated changes in at least some dreams. Such changes have been provoked by olfactory stimulation (Trotter, Dallas, & Verdone, 1988), auditory stimulation (e.g., Berger, 1963; Castaldo & Holzman, 1969; Castaldo & Shevrin, 1970; Hoelscher, Klinger & Barta, 1981; Strauch, 1988), visual stimulation (Dement & Wolpert, 1958; Rechtschaffen & Foulkes, 1965), vestibular stimulation (Woodward, Tauber, Spielman, & Thorpy, 1990), and a variety of somatosensory stimuli. The latter include applications to the skin of water (Dement & Wolpert, 1958; Foulkes & Shepherd, 1972; Foulkes, 1982), of trains of electrical pulses (Koulack, 1969) and of cotton swabs (Foulkes, 1982), passive displacements of trunk (Baldridge 1966), and limb muscles (Foulkes & Shepherd, 1972; Foulkes, 1982), and thermal stimulation (Baldridge, 1966).…”

The notion that dreaming is isolated from sensory activity is chal/~ng~d by demonstrations that somatosensory stimuli are frequently incorporated illlo dreiUlI colllent. To further study such effects, four volunteers were administered pressure stimulation to either the left or the right leg during REM sleep and awakened to report tlu:ir dreams. These dreams were rated and compared to non-stimulated drcams. Stimulated dreams more frequently contained leg sensations and references to the pressure stimulus than did non-stimulated dreams; dreamed leg activity, but not dreamed arm activity, was also rated as more intense. Incorporations of the jjtinllllllS were typically simple, direct kinesthetic sensations of pressure or squeezing but were also sometimes embedded in more extended 'problem-solving' sequences. Stimulation also increased bodily biza"eness. The latter included change:,' in kinesthetic 'lulliity vf movement, instabilities of posture and the environment, as well as visual-kil/estlll:tic Yllthe~'ias. Although micro-arousals may be an explanatory factor, the re:,'ults sllggest that somato~'ensory ~.timulation influences 'kinesthetic fantasy', a dimension of dreumillg uj'~'ociated with both cel/tral and peripheral ~'ources of kinesthetic activity.

REM sleep deprivation: The wrong paradigm leading to wrong conclusions

There are obvious flaws in REM sleep suppression paradigms that do not allow any conclusion to be drawn either pro or contra the REM sleep-memory hypothesis. However, less intrusive investigations of REM sleep suggest that this sleep stage or its adjunct neuroendocrine characteristics exert a facilitating influence on certain aspects of ongoing memory formation during sleep.[Nielsen; Vertes & Eastman]

“…Manipulating the presleep (Breger, 1967) and the dream experience (Tart, 1979) is necessary to show an effect on dreaming and subsequent wakefulness. Presleep suggestion (Meier, 1967), posthypnotic suggestion (Schrotter, 1912(Schrotter, / 1951, stimuli introduced during REM sleep (Castaldo & Holzman, 1969), and prior REM deprivation (Firth, 1974) are ways of affecting dream content. The variables that influence dream content and that dream content may affect are more likely to be affective than cognitive (Ekstrand, Barrett, West, & Maier, 1977;Kramer, Roth, & Palmer, 1976;Piccione et al, 1977).…”
