  1. Sleep Dreams Hypnosis

  2. SLEEP DISORDERS

  3. INSOMNIA • 1 IN 10 ADULTS RECURRING PROBLEMS IN FALLING OR STAYING ASLEEP • EXERCISE, AVOID CAFFEINE, AND HAVE REGULATED SLEEP Helps prevent insomnia

  4. NARCOLEPSY • A SLEEP DISORDER CHARACTERIZED BY UNCONTROLLABLE SLEEP ATACKS • MAY LAPSE Directly INTO REM SLEEP lasting 5 to 10 minutes • 1 IN 2000

  5. SLEEP APNEA • THIS IS WHEN BREATHING STOPS DURING SLEEP • 1 IN 20 • APNEA MEANS NO BREATH • A Person WAKES But THEY DON’T KNOW THEY’RE DOING IT, • CAN BE CONNECTED TO OBESITY.

  6. NIGHT TERRORS • MOSTLY IN CHILDREN • THEY SELDOM WAKE UP FULLY DURING AN EPISODE AND RECALL LITTLE • MOST HAVE A FRIGHTENING IMAGE

  7. SLEEP WALKING • IS A STAGE 4 SLEEP DISORDER • THE LONGER YOUR ASLEEP IN STAGE 4 THE MORE LIKELY TO SLEEP WALK • EVENTUALLY ENDS FROM DECREASE IN STAGE 4

  8. We Dream To Satisfy our own wishes • Dreams provide a “psychic safety valve” – expressing otherwise unacceptable feelings; contain manifest (remembered) content and a deeper layer of latent content (hidden message). • Freud considered dreams the key to understanding our inner conflict • Some contend that even if dreams are symbolic, they could be interpreted any way one wished.

  9. We Dream To File Away Memories • Information- Processing • Dreams help us sore out the day’s events and consolidate our memories • There is a link between REM Sleep and memory

  10. We Dream To Develop and Preserve Neural Pathways • Physiological Function • Regular brain stimulation from REM sleep may help develop and preserve neural pathways • Makes developmental sense

  11. We Dream to ToMake Sense of Neural Static • Activation- Synthesis • REM sleep triggers neural activity that evokes random visual memories, which our sleeping brain weaves into stories. • Damage to the limbic system (emotional tone to visual bursts) and the visual centers (frontal lobe) will impair dreaming

  12. We DreamTo Reflect Cognitive Development • Dream content reflects dreamers’ cognitive development-their knowledge and understanding • Dreams are a part of brain maturation and cognitive development

  13. REM Rebound • Tendency for REM sleep to increase following REM sleep deprivation (created by repeated awakenings during REM sleep) • Biological and psychological explanations of behavior are partners not competitors

  14. Hypnosis- a social interaction in which they hypnotist suggests to a subject that certain perceptions, feelings, thoughts, or behaviors will spontaneously occur. What is Hypnosis

  15. Can anyone experience hypnosis? • Everyone is open to suggestions but how much suggestion determines how “hypnotizable” someone is. • People that are more imaginative, more likely to get lost in movies or other forms of fiction are more hypnotizable. • About 20% of all people are highly hypnotizable

  16. Can hypnosis enhance recall of forgotten events? • Most of the research preformed in the last sixty years suggests that the ability to recover childhood memories is false. • Hypnotically refreshed memories are guided by the hypnotist and then the subject combines fact and fiction

  17. Can hypnosis force people to act against their will? • NO Can Hypnosis be Therapeutic? • It has helped with headaches, asthma, stress-related skin disorders, and obesity. • Drug, alcohol, and smoking addictions do not respond.

  18. Posthypnotic Suggestions A suggestion, made during a hypnosis session, to be carried out after the subject is no longer hypnotized; used by some clinicians to help control undesired symptoms and behaviors.

  19. Hypnosis as a Social Phenomenon • Some researches believe that hypnotic phenomena reflect the workings of normal consciousness and the power of social influence • The more someone likes or trusts the hypnotist, the more they allow that person to direct their attention • Advocates of the social influence theory contend that hypnotic phenomena are an extension of everyday social behavior not hypnosis.

  20. Hypnosis as Divided Consciousness • Distinctive brain activity accompanies hypnosis. • Many believe hypnosis involves not only social influence but also a dissociation- a split between different levels of consciousness • Selective attention may also cause hypnosis

  21. Social Phenomenon or Divided Consciousness? • Belief that there are no contradictions between the two approaches • Hypnosis is an extension both of normal principles of social influence and of everyday dissociations between our conscious awareness and our automatic behaviors
