Humans spend about 6 years dreaming
Dreams are generated in the forebrain
Most common emotion experienced during dreaming is anxiety
The U.S. ranks the highest amongst industrialized nations for
aggression in dreams with 50% of U.S. males reporting aggression
in dreams, compared to 32% for Dutch men
Men generally have more aggressive feelings in their dreams than
women, and children's dreams do not have very much aggression
until they reach teen age
This supports the view that there is a continuity between our
conscious and unconscious styles and personalities
In men's dreams 70 percent of the characters are other men,
while a female's dreams contain an equal number of men and
women

12. REM sleep

REM stands for “Rapid Eye Movement”

Eugene Aserinsky discovered REM sleep in
1953 while working in the lab of his PhD
advisor. Aserinsky noticed that the sleepers'
eyes fluttered beneath their closed eyelids. He
later used a polygraph machine to record the
sleeper’s brain waves during these periods.

13. "One thing that's unique about
mammals and birds is that they regulate body
temperature," says neuroscientist Jerry Siegel, director
of (University of California, Los Angeles )UCLA's
Center for Sleep Research.

One evolutionary adaptation is that animals sleep in safe
sites where they can be less vulnerable to attack by
predators. Dreams are the byproducts of sleep
phenomena

14. 
Scientists generally seem to agree that
dreaming is a form of thinking during sleep.
Dreams contain at least some psychological
meaning, but this doesn't necessarily prove a
purpose, such as problem solving. Overall, our
understanding of dreams is still quite vague.

15. Dream = Goal
• Do you believe a Dream and a Goal
are indeed the same thing?

Purpose of Identification
 To diagnose educational needs
 To correlate educational services to a student’s
individual needs

Statistically……between 3% and 5% of the student
population is gifted / talented.
The Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted /
Talented Students defines a gifted/talented student
as… “…a student who performs at or shows the
potential for performing at a remarkably high level
of accomplishment when compared to others of the
same age, experience or environment and who… …
exhibits high performance capability in an
intellectual; or…excels in a specific academic field.”

get – Asafa Powel - Great talent spotters

the performance in itself, but what caused it and
the story that lies behind it.

The leading scientific theory is that sleep has a large
function in memory processing.
It appears from different research studies that
different stages of sleep have different functions with
respect to memory processing.
Future research is needed to better identify these
functions.
It also remains to be understood, whether dreams
have a specific function, or are simply a byproduct of
memory processing in sleep.
