| compulsive drug craving and use. | ||
| brain wave of awake relaxed person | ||
| drugs that increase energy and stimulate neural activity | ||
| drugs that reduce anxiety and depress central nervous system activity | ||
| Our awareness Of ourselves and our environment | ||
| the large, slow brain waves associated with deep sleep. | ||
| drugs (such as alcohol, barbiturates, and opiates) that reduce neural activity and slow body functions. | ||
| a split between different levels of consciousness | ||
| a sequence of images, emotions, and thoughts passing through a sleeping person's mind. are notable for their hallucinatory imagery, discontinuities, and incongruities, and for the dreamer's delusional acceptance of the content and later difficulties remembering it. | ||
| a synthetic stimulant and mild hallucinogen. Produces euphoria and social intimacy, but with short-term health risks and longer-term harm to serotonin-producing neurons and to mood and cognition. | ||
| natural painkiller produced by the brain | ||
| theory that dreaming reflects our erotic drives | ||
| false sensory experiences, such as seeing something in the absence of an external visual stimulus. | ||
| psychedelic ("mind-manifesting") drugs, such as LSD, that distort perceptions and evoke sensory images in the absence of sensory input. | ||

| periodic, natural, reversible loss of consciousness—as distinct from unconsciousness resulting from a coma, general anesthesia, or hibernation. (Adapted from Dement, 1999.) | ||
| sleep disorder in which breathing stops | ||
| brain-wave activity during Stage 2 sleep | ||
| stage of sleep associated with delta waves | ||
| drugs (such as caffeine, nicotine, and the more powerful amphetamines, cocaine, and Ecstasy) that excite neural activity and speed up body functions. | ||
| the major active ingredient in marijuana; triggers a variety of effects, including mild hallucinations. | ||
| the diminishing effect with regular use of the same dose of a drug, requiring the user to take larger and larger doses before experiencing the drug's effect. | ||
