Slumbered Sleep

Every now and then, dreams will resolve any
kind of real-world issue. They were typically
considerably better at two sorts, though.
Dreams were very useful for coming up
with unconventional answers. Given what is
known about the mechanics of REM sleep,
this makes sense: the prefrontal cortex is
calmed down, preventing individuals from
immediately censoring ideas. In addition,
since the secondary visual cortex, which
is linked to imagery, is much more active
throughout REM than during wakefulness,
dreams are particularly helpful when solutions
can be imagined. (Barrett, 2017)
