Many people experience wild and hallucinatory dreams that seem to come out of nowhere and make absolutely zero sense. However, NBC News BETTER reported that dreaming might not be as strange a phenomenon as some people think. They spoke to Robert Stickgold, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School’s Center for Sleep and Cognition, about the role of dreaming in sleep.
“The brain thinks, makes memories, and solves problems. It observes new information. It processes that information by determining what’s important, what’s not, and what’s connected to something you already know. And then the brain either stores that information or dumps what’s not useful. You can’t both think about something and listen to people at the same time,” Stickgold explains.
