REM sawtooth-wave window, surfacing as the stage gate opens maps onto [eye-movement onset · facial stillness · limb lock-in] inside theta 2–6 Hz, atonia "preserved" — a mechanism read, not a symbol lookup.

Dataset readout: REM sawtooth-wave window in REM (onset). Cortical window 2–6 Hz (theta). Atonia=preserved. Markers drive the text below — not dream-symbol meanings.
- eye-movement onset
- facial stillness
- limb lock-in
- acetylcholine
- glutamate
- GABA
Mechanism stack
- REM sleep frames rEM sawtooth-wave window, surfacing as the stage gate opens, against a theta trace of 2–6 Hz.
- Chemistry is acetylcholine-led here (cholinergic REM drive elevates cortical activation), with glutamate, GABA co-listed; density 92 on this row.
- Dataset row #10027: atonia 85/100, arousal 30/100, coherence 72/100 — the motor brake is holding firm, over a calm, coherent backdrop.
- On this onset row the markers stack as "eye-movement onset" → "facial stillness" → "limb lock-in" — stacking up right before the cycle settles.
- "eye-movement onset" gets weighted as onset body evidence for REM sleep in Lab Search — treated as physiology here, not folklore.
Recall naming "eye-movement onset" in REM sleep, at stage entry, gets read by the Lab as body evidence, not as a dream symbol.

Felt on waking
On waking, the marker named most often is "eye-movement onset" with "facial stillness" close behind. Because this row sits at onset in REM sleep, it often gets folded into the last waking thought, so the edges are hard to place.
Related physiology
This row connects to PGO & autonomic drive — the pontine spikes and autonomic swings behind eye, breath, and skin signals.
How Lab Search uses this row
Naming "eye-movement onset" — tied here to acetylcholine activity shifts the Lab's REM-sleep reading toward physiology — the BODY line moves, the SIGNAL line does not chase a symbolic guess.

How to read REM sawtooth-wave window · theta 2–6 Hz · REM
This row is REM sawtooth-wave window in REM (onset). Cortical window 2–6 Hz (theta). Atonia state: preserved. Density 92. Chart seed 10027 is deterministic for this URL — the trace is a model of the row, not a clinical EEG.
Gauges on this page: atonia 85, arousal 30, coherence 72. Markers: eye-movement onset, facial stillness, limb lock-in. Transmitters tagged: acetylcholine, glutamate, GABA. Those fields are why two “similar” titles are not duplicates. If a marker did not happen to you, say so — do not wear the whole row.
What the body is doing — not what the image “means”
On waking, the marker named most often is "eye-movement onset" with "facial stillness" close behind. Because this row sits at onset in REM sleep, it often gets folded into the last waking thought, so the edges are hard to place. Recall naming "eye-movement onset" in REM sleep, at stage entry, gets read by the Lab as body evidence, not as a dream symbol.

How Lab Search should use this row
Naming "eye-movement onset" — tied here to acetylcholine activity shifts the Lab's REM-sleep reading toward physiology — the BODY line moves, the SIGNAL line does not chase a symbolic guess. Then open Decode if you also have a plot. The plot is optional; the body line is not.
This utility will not treat REM sawtooth-wave window as a spirit, a pregnancy test, or a death omen. It will treat it as a stage-bound somatic metric. If symptoms are nightly, worsening, or include dream enactment, that is clinical, not catalog.
