TL;DR
A positive correlation was predicted to obtain between measures of REM sleep intensity and waking information search organization/activity in normal human adults and correlational study of the REMs of sleep and wakefulness corroborated the hypothesis.
Abstract
ABSTRACT Literature review suggested that certain properties of the REMs of wakefulness and REM sleep show changes with experience and/or maturation. A positive correlation was predicted to obtain between measures of REM sleep intensity and waking information search organization/activity in normal human adults. A correlational study of the REMs of sleep and wakefulness in 9 college‐age S s corroborated the hypothesis. Percentage REM sleep did not correlate significantly with any of the waking REM measures. Implications of the results for current theories and future research on REM sleep–waking perception interrelationships were described.

George Trumbull Ladd suggested in 1892 that the visual elements of dreams were derivations of the "psychical synthesis" of night-time retinal sense data, but this hypothesis went unverified until 1955 when Aserinsky and Kleitman 2 reported actual observations of ocular movements during sleep.

The hypothesis that changes in sleep pattern reflect changes in the physiological processes underlying brain function in general is supported, and the relationships to age of the main sleep variables are sought and the forms of these relationships with those of other variables potentially related to brain function are compared.

An experimental test of two hypotheses about sleep mentation based upon the tonic-phasic model, which found that phasic and nonphasic episodes within stage REM are associated with qualitatively different mental activity andNonphasic stage REM is associated with mental activity qualitatively similar to that of NREM sleep.

The electrodermal response (Tarchanoff effect) was studied during sleep and EDRs were noted with various episodic sleep phenomena, certain abnormal movements, focal epileptic temporal lobe discharges, generalized or hemigeneralized epileptic discharge, and tonic epileptic seizures, even when reduced to their minimal expression.

It is postulated that the depressed eye movement burst activity in the autistic children is a manifestation of deficient or inhibited centralibular function and the reduced quantitative association between the synchronous slow waves and the eye movement bursts further suggests impairment of an organizing influence underlying integration of cortical and oculomotor activity.

Eye movements of newborn infants have been recorded electro-oculographically during polygraphy and it is suggested that irregular sleep represents the least organized behavioral state with a high amount of noise in various brain mechanisms.

During stage REM sleep, eye movements were found to be distributed in discrete bursts of rapid eye movement (REM-bursts) and within subject correlations were obtained between REM-burst time and autonomic activity.

It is suggested that paradoxical sleep not shortens but also develops with age, as the empirical distribution of REMs differed significantly from the chance distribution and the shortest intervals between single eye movements increased with age.

In the full-term newborn babies, high-density eye movement patterns showed an organization within the consecutive REMs similar to those in older age groups, indicating that with increasing maturation, the baby is able to sustain longer periods of behavioural inhibition needed for both the development of quiet sleep and REMs.

There was a dramatic increase in eye‐movements in a group of normal pregnant women, suggesting that there may be reciprocal interactions between endocrine mechanisms and those responsible for learning capacities.

EEG activity of 10.5 to 15.0 c/sec and eye movement activity during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep were quantified in six normal 6 to 8-month-old babies and the mean duration of eye movement bursts in the babies increased linearly with successive REM sleep periods.
