Hobson and McCarty came up with the biological theory of dreaming, which is called the activation-synthesis theory. It states that neurons in the brain randomly fire and that the relayed messages are interpreted as dreams. This counters Freud's theory that dreams have significance and reflect the innermost and conflicting desires of a person.
