Answer
ctivation-synthesis theory posits dreams result from random neural activity, while information-processing theory suggests dreams organize and interpret daily experiences. To test the latter, design an experiment assessing dream content correlation with daily events. Main difficulty: subjectivity in dream interpretation may hinder precise analysis.
