Annotated Biibliography (as of April 24, 2013) Gabriel Begun WR150 Essay 3: On Lucid Dreaming (working title) Note:

I will only comment on the 6 sources that have been most relevant to my paper. Many of my sources I have used for small pieces of information and are not paticularly relevant to my topic Aserinsky, E. & Kleitman, N. (2003). Regularly Occurring Periods of Eye Motility, and Concomitant Phenomena, During Sleep. The Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences. Retreived from http://neuro.psychiatryonline.org/article.aspx?articleID=101837 Aserinsky and Kleitman where the first who identified REM sleep. Without their work, most of our current understanding of dreams and their physical manifestations would be void. Although this essay does not provide esscential information to my paper, it is important to aknowledge the turning point for dream research. This essay was originaly published in 1953 Barrett, D.

REM sleep and dreaming: towards a theory of protoconsciousness. Nature Review, 10. 803-813. doi:10.1038/nrn2716 Hobston talks about the relation between different states of conciousness and brain activity. Hobson also presents his AIM model in which he maps the different concious states according to three values. This source is paticularly of interest because it gives a great explanation of how waking vs REM vs NREM states are distinguished. Hobson also discusses what a lucid dream is from a conciousness point of view. Huford, D. (1989). The Terror That Comes in the Night: An Experience-Centered Study of
