Abstract
Nielsen's model presents a new isomorphic brain-mind view-point, according to which the sole dream generator is found in a REM-on (explicit or covert RENT) mechanism. Such a model cannot explain the dreamlike activity during SWS (slow wave sleep). SO (sleep onset) and in the last period of sleep. Mo reover the hypothesis contrasts with Solms's data, which show that dreaming is present also in case of destruction of the RENT generator.
