Dement and Kleitman
  1. 1957
    1. Hypothesis:
      1. 1. Participants woken during REM sleep are more likely to recall dreams.
        1. 2. Participants woken after 5 or 15 mins will be able to say how long they have been dreaming.
          1. 3. Eye movement will link to the content of recalled dream.
          2. Variables:
            1. Independent:
              1. Whether woken in REM sleep or non-REM sleep.
                1. Whether woken after 5 or 15 mins.
                  1. Movement of eyes
                  2. Dependent:
                    1. Whether dreams recalled.
                      1. Estimate the length of dreaming.
                        1. Content of dream.
                      2. Participants:
                        1. Nine adults: seven male, two female.
                          1. Five studied intensively, four studied for minimal data to confirm data/findings from five studies intensively.
                          2. Method:
                            1. Controlled laboratory conditions - reported to lab before usual bedtime.
                              1. Told to avoid caffeine/alcohol. Went to bed in dark quiet room.
                                1. EEG used to amplify and record signals of electrodes on pps face and head.
                                  1. At various times during the night (during both REM and non-REM sleep) pps were awakened to test their dream recall.
                                    1. Woken by loud doorbell ringing next to their head.
                                    2. Spoke into tape recorder next to bed about whether or not they had been dreaming and then, if they could, to report the content of their dream.
                                    3. Results:
                                      1. Hypothesis 1. Woken during REM 152 out of 191 recalled dreams. Woken during non-REM 11 out of 160 recalled dreams.
                                        1. Hypothesis 2. Woken after 5 mins of REM 45 out of 51 correctly guessed the amount of time dreaming. Woken after 15 mins of REM 47 out of 60 correctly guessed the amount of time dreaming.
                                          1. Hypothesis 3. Mainly verticle eye movement observed 3 times, dreams about standing at bottom of cliff looking at climbers, climbing ladders looking up and down, throwing basket balls at nets.
                                            1. Mainly horizontal, once, watching people throw tomatoes at each other.
                                              1. Both vertical and horizontal 21 times, looking at close objects, talking with groups of people, looking for something.
                                                1. Very little movement, 10 times, watching things at a distance, staring at an object.
