Answer 1

Answer:

Research suggests Shoshanna is A) dreaming.

Explanation:

Most of our dreams take place while we are in the REM stage of our sleep. REM stands for rapid eye movement, referring to our eyes quickly darting back and forth underneath our eyelids. At this moment, our brain is active, our heart rate increases, and we have vivid dreams. We can safely say Shoshanna is dreaming because the description fits the signs of REM sleep, and dreams are rare in other stages.
