  4. 8. false sensory experiences, such as seeing something in the absence of an external visual stimulus.

  5. 7. our awareness of ourselves and our environment.
  6. 9. rapid eye movement sleep; a recurring sleep stage during which vivid dreams commonly occur.
  7. 14. recurring problems in falling or staying asleep.
  8. 16. the relatively slow brain waves of a relaxed, awake state.
