The pharmacology of threatening dreams
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 23 (6):1016-1017 (2000)
| Abstract | The pharmacological literature on negative dream experiences is reviewed with respect to Revonsuo's threat rehearsal theory of dreaming. Moderate support for the theory is found, although much more work is needed. Significant questions that remain include the precise role of acetylcholine in the generation of negative dream experiences and dissociations between the pharmacology of waking fear and anxiety and threatening dreams. [Revonsuo]. | |||||||||
