Dreams and contemporary stress: a disruption-avoidance-adaptation model.

J Wright, D Koulack

    Sleep
    |April 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study proposes a disruption-avoidance-adaptation model for dream function. It suggests dreams help us adapt to stress by oscillating between disruption and avoidance until homeostasis is achieved.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Psychology
    • Sleep Science

    Background:

    • Studies on dream function yield disparate findings.
    • A unifying framework for dream function is lacking.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Propose a disruption-avoidance-adaptation model for dream function.
    • Provide a framework to reconcile varied dream function research.

    Main Methods:

    • Theoretical model development.
    • Literature synthesis of dream function studies.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed model explains dream function through an oscillation.
    • This oscillation involves sleep disruption, stimulus avoidance, and adaptation.
    • Homeostasis is achieved through this cyclical process.

    Conclusions:

    • The disruption-avoidance-adaptation model offers a coherent explanation for dream function.
    • It integrates findings on stress, sleep, and adaptation.
    • Continuity between waking and sleeping experiences is a key assumption.
