If you get up actually remembering a dream, then you would most probably have got up from
- REM sleep
- A stage where your brain waves are of theta type.
- NREM stage.
- Surreal dreams.
- None of these
Solution : REM sleep

The purpose of sleep as inferred from the passage is to
- Decipher one’s innate feeling.
- Avoid physical illness
- Rest one’s brain as sleep deprivation may cause certain chemical reactions.
- Decide one’s unfulfilled wishes
- None of these
Solution : Avoid physical illness

Freud believed in one of the following very strongly.
- One’s dreams are the manifestations of one’s hidden sexual problems.
- Dreams and related problems should be revealed to solve them.
- We need to understand our dreams to help ourselves.
- f is easy to teach people to interpret their own dreams.
- None of these
Solution : One’s dreams are the manifestations of one’s hidden sexual problems.

Regarding our sleep cycles.
- About four cycles are repeated throughout a single night’s sleep
- We spend around one fourth of our sleeping duration dreaming.
- During most of our single night’s sleep, we are in deep sleep.
- All of the above
- None of the above
Solution : About four cycles are repeated throughout a single night’s sleep

If you are stuck in a lecture which is uninteresting in your view, your brain, most probably, sends out
- Beta waves.
- Alpha waves.
- Delta waves.
- Theta waves.
- None of these
Solution : Theta waves.
