All of us Dream Journalers will find this of interest...
The Believer - Hobson's Choice:
In the early '70s, while planting microelectrodes on the brain stems of cats, he formed his widely cited Activation-Synthesis theory and broadened its implications, perhaps unduly, to disprove Freud's claim that dreams are caused by unconscious, often sinister desires. He and his Harvard colleague Robert McCarley proposed that dreams are strange and fragmented not because secret urges are being censored, as Freud claimed, but because the brain is in a naturally chaotic state.

I'm cataloging dream journals I've kept for more than 15 years. They are proving to be great fodder for the writing of fiction; more about that later.
