Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
During REM sleep, when most dreaming occurs, the brain is highly active and able to incorporate external stimuli into dreams. Therefore, it is likely that the individual would incorporate the sensation of water spray into their dream, perhaps as a rainstorm or some other similar experience.
