Sleep is important, so dreams must be, too, right?
Over the last few days, I’ve shared stories of how aggravating dreams about work can be. But sometimes good things happen. “As a computer engineer for over 40 years, sometimes my work does find its way into my dreams,” wrote Fred Myers of South Bend, Ind. “Occasionally, I’ll work out an approach to solving a problem ∈a dream, wake up, write it down, and then it actually pans out when I get to work.”
Sleep: There’s a reason we spend a third of our lives doing it, even if we aren’t sure what that reason is. “It must be important,” said Rachel Salas, a Johns Hopkins Medicine neurologist who studies sleep and treats sleep disorders. “And if sleeping is important, that would suggest that dreaming is important.”
However, scientists aren’t sure exactly why. “There are a lot of theories out there,” Salas said. “The bottom line is we just don’t know. There is some research suggesting that dreams are the brain processing or getting rid of unwanted memories, kind of consolidating memories as we’re sleeping.” Also, some scientists think they can play a role ∈ creativity. “There’s some research showing that musicians have been inspired during their dreams and have actually composed music during sleep,” Salas said. So maybe those job dreams aren’t so bad!
