Question
according to the activation-synthesis hypothesis, where does the story line for dreams come from?
manifest content
cerebral cortex
wishes
electrical activity in the brain
The activation-synthesis hypothesis proposes that dream storylines are constructed by the brain as it tries to make sense of random electrical impulses generated during REM sleep. Manifest content is a psychoanalytic term for the visible dream plot, not its origin. The cerebral cortex interprets the activity but is not the source. Wishes relate to Freud's wish-fulfillment theory, not this hypothesis.
