This document discusses where dreams come from and provides information about the brain and its various parts that are involved in dreaming. It notes that dreams typically occur during sleep and explores the organ responsible for creating dreams, which is then revealed to be the brain. Several key parts of the brain are then defined, including the amygdala, brain stem, frontal lobe, hippocampus, hypothalamus, cerebellum, and cerebrum, along with their basic functions related to dreams, memory, movement, bodily processes and more. Students are then instructed to work in groups to complete a brain diagram and the lesson concludes by stating the topic will continue to be explored in the next class.
2. We begin discussing …
When do dreams occur?
Which part of our body creates dreams ?
What do you know about this wonderful organ ?
Let’s learn more about it …

4. Amygdala: emotional reactions such as anger and fear.
Brain Stem: The part of the brain that connects to the spinal cord.It controls
functions basic to the survival ,such as heart rate, breathing, digesting foods,
and sleeping.
The Frontal Lobe is the most recently-evolved part of the brain and the
last to develop in young adulthood. It organizes responses to complex
problems, plans steps to an objective, searches memory for relevant
experience
Divided into three lobes : Temporal (controls memory storage area, emotion,
hearing, and, on the left side, language)
Parietal (receives and processes sensory information from the body including
calculating location and speed of objects) and Occipital : Processes visual
data and routes it to other parts of the brain for identification and storage).
5. Hippocampus: It processes new memories for long-term storage. If you didn't have
it, you couldn't live in the present, you'd be stuck in the past of old memories.
Hyppothalamus: It monitors numerous bodily functions such as blood pressure
and body temperature, as well as controlling body weight and appetite.
Cerebellum: It is the guru of skilled, coordinated movement and is involved in
some learning pathways.
Cerebrum: This is the largest brain structure in humans and accounts for about two-
thirds of the brain’s mass and it involves the corpus callosum and cerebral cortex
control most of our body functions, including the mysterious state of consciousness,
the senses, the body’s motor skills, reasoning and language.
6. In groups, we complete the brain diagram!!!
Next class, we keep on learning about this
