Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words). Dreams have always held a universal fascination. Some primitive societies believe that the soul leaves the body and visits the scene of the dream. Generally, however, dreams are accepted to be illusions, having much in common with daydreams—the fantasies of our waking life. When dreaming, however, one tends to believe fully in the reality of the dream world, however inconsistent, illogical and odd it may be. Although most dreams apparently happen spontaneously, dream activity may be provoked by external influences. “Suffocation” dreams are connected with the breathing difficulties of a heavy cold, for instance. Internal disorders such as indigestion can cause vivid dreams, and dreams of racing fire-engines may be caused by the ringing of an alarm bell. Experiments have been carried out to investigate the connection between deliberately inflicted pain and dreaming. For example, a sleeper pricked with a pin perhaps dreams of fighting a battle and receiving a severe sword wound. Although the dream is stimulated by the physical discomfort, the actual events of the dream depend on the associations of the discomfort in the mind of the sleeper. A dreamer’s eyes often move rapidly from side to side. Since people born blind do not dream visually and do not manifest this eye activity, it is thought that the dreamer may be scanning the scene depicted in his dream. A certain amount of dreaming seems to be a human requirement. If a sleeper is roused every time his eyes begin to move fast, effectively depriving him of his dreams; he will make more eye movements the following night. 1.What is the generally believed relationship between dreams and daydreams? 2.Dreams are caused by 3.What will one probably dream if you prick him with a pin? 4.In what special way do blind people dream? 5.There is proof that dreaming may be
