Directions: You must answer the following questions. It is not enough to answer a question by merely listing facts. You must present a cogent argument related to the model at hand based on your critical analysis of the questions, and using appropriate psychological terminology. 1) You are doing research at the Santa Clara University Psychology Department. You are working with a very special group of people called “Dreamers”. These people have the ability to not only remember every detail of every dream they have ever had, but they can also actively participate in, or modify, their dreams as they take place (a state known as “Lucid Dreaming”.) After spending 10 years observing these subjects you have been asked to give a symposium to your colleagues at the Stanford Research Center. You have limited your talk to the following two areas:

A) What part did the following play in your research of this phenomenon?

Biological Rhythms

Alpha Waves

REM Rebound

Evolutionary Psychology and the role of dreams

B) Part of your research involved the use of specific drug therapies to try and alleviate the lucid dreaming that many of the research participants said they disliked and would rather not experience. How might the following have an effect on your research participants?

Psychoactive Drugs

Hallucinations

Tolerance

Withdrawal
