So one theory actually talks about how... So obviously serotonin is another neurochemical in the brain. The part of the brain that produces that, the dorsal rafin nucleus, also shuts down its production of serotonin. So you don't have serotonin in your dreams either in REM sleep. And so you end up in this space without noradrenaline and without serotonin.
