Myranda and Tess are discussing the dreams they had last night. Myranda's dream consisted of a person chasing her, but then the person turned into a robot. Eventually, the robot began playing laser tag with her. --Tess, a believer in the activation-synthesis hypothesis, tells Myranda,

Random neural firings. Tess tells myranda her dream is a result of brain activation during REM sleep.

Explanation:

This hypothesis is a neurobiological theory of dreams. The hypothesis was proposed by John Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley in 1977. The theory suggests that during sleep, the brain cerebral cortex's tries to make meaning of the neural activity happening in other parts of the brain when we sleep. Dreams are the result.

The cortex is what is responsible for the dream content. That is the person who who chased her, became a robot and how it later played laser tag with her.
