According to Freud, the remembered story line of a dream (as distinct from its latent content). 8. Supposed inability to recall what one experienced during hypnosis; induced by the hyponist's suggestion. 9. A sleep disorder characterized by temporary cessations of breathing during sleep and consequent momentary reawakenings. 10. An altered state of consciousness reported after a close brush with death (such as through cardiac arrest); often similar to drug-induced hallucinations. 14. A psychological need to use a drug, such as to relieve negative emotions. 16. Hilgard's term describing a hypnotized subject's awareness of experiences, such as pain, that go unreported during hypnosis. 17. The large, slow brain waves associated with deep sleep. 18. A split in consciousness, which allows some thoughts and behaviors to occur simultaneously with others. 19. The biological clock; regular bodily rhythms (for example, of temperature and wakefulness) that occur on a 24-hour cycle. 23. Psychedelic ("mind-manifesting") drugs, such as LSD, that distort perceptions and evoke sensory images in the absence of sensory input. 25. A social interaction in which one person suggets to another that certain perceptions, feelings, thoughts, or behaviors will spontaneously occur. 26. The major active ingredient in marijuana, triggers a variety of effects, including mild hallucinations 27. According to Freud, the underlying meaning of a dream (as distinct from its manifest content). A "safety valve." 28. Rapid eye movement sleep, a recurring sleep stage during which vivid dreams commonly occur. Also known as paradoxical sleep because the muscles are relaxed (except for minor twitches) but other body systems are active. 30. A sequence of images, emotions, and thoughts passing through a sleeping person's mind. 31. Our awareness of ourselves and our environments. 32. Drugs (such as alcohol, barbiturates, and opiates) that reduce neural activity and slow body functions. 33. A sleep disorder characterized by high arousal and an appearance of being terrified.

Down 1. Someone who imagines and recalls experiences with lifelike vividness and who spends considerable time fantasizing. 2. Recurring problems in falling or staying asleep. 3. Periodic, natural, reversible loss of consciousness -as distinct from unconsciousness resulting from a coma, general anesthesia, or hibernation. 5.

A physiological need for a drug, marked by unpleasant withdrawal symptoms when the drug is discontinued. 15. false sensory experices, such as seeing something in the abscence of an external visual stimulus. 20. Opium and its derivatives, such as morphine and heroin; they depress neural activity, temporarily lessening pain and anxiety. 21. Drugs that stimulate neural activity, causing speeded-up body functions and associated energy and mood changes. 22. The relatively slow brain waves of a relaxed, awake state. 24. The tendency for REM sleep to increase following REM sleep deprivation (created by repeated awakenings during REM sleep.) 29. A powerful hallucinogenic drug, also known as "acid."
