Twyla insists that she never recalls a single dream, but this does not necessarily mean that she does not dream at all. Most people have dreams during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage of sleep, and if Twyla were tested in a sleep lab, she would likely experience REM sleep. If she were awakened from REM sleep, she would be more likely to report a dream than if she were awakened from slow-wave sleep. Therefore, the best choice is B, as she would report a dream if she were awakened from REM sleep.
