Document Summary
Dr. stickgold: we dream complex, in color, more visual than auditory, auditory more than somatosensory, though vision/color/somatosensory are more prevalent than other senses. Do not know the full mechanism of dreaming. Rem = rapid eye movement sleep: most intense dreams. Taking info from memory and processing them = dreams: new connections and new ways of looking at things, never dream about something dead on dr. stickgold. Dreams about being late memories about not finishing something. Dreams tend to be more negative than positive and become more negative as the dream progresses: evolutionarily: we need to worry more about and think about things that are. Know very little about what sleep does for the brain. About 1/3 of life is spent sleeping. Do not sleep, you die: fundamental to essentially all organisms. Probes enable researchers to read the rat"s minds pick up electrical impulses from brain cells: produces map of thoughts from the rat.
