The author examines Hobson and McCarley's activation-synthesis hypothesis of dreams from the point of view of theory construction and the logic of science. After reviewing pertinent literature, he concludes that modern sciences has not yet established a well-defined mind-body isomorphism. Therefore, conclusions about the psychological meaning and motive of dreams cannot validly be drawn from neurobiological data.
