Brian Cox and Robin Ince have a sleepy look at the science of dreaming.
Dreams have fascinated humans for millennia. Why do we dream? Can we find meaning in the content of our nocturnal imaginings? Can our dreams help us solve problems, give us new ideas, or help us write a symphony?are joined by comedian Bridget Christie, neuroscientist Prof Penny Lewis and psychologist Richard Wiseman to have a sleepy look at the science of dreaming.) sleep. We talk about REM as being dream sleep – but we actually dream in all four of the sleep states.
When people are woken from REM sleep, their dreams tend to be more emotional, bizarre and fragmented., is quite brief. You then move into stage 2 of Non-REM in which your brain slows down even more but you also have bursts of high-frequency activity that are localised over different areas of the cortex called. Slow-wave or very deep sleep comes next and this is characterised by really high amplitude oscillations where, pause, and then fire again – just a bit slower than once per second.
Dreams are thought to be the brains attempt to solve life’s problems. The phrase “better to sleep on it” has a strong grounding in science.To remember a dream you need to be woken up very soon after it or during it, which is why many of our dreams get forgotten. If you’re a very light sleeper you might find you can recall more dreams, simply because you’re more likely to wake up during one of them. And the opposite applies to the deeper sleepers amongst us.
Fascinatingly, studies show that if a person practices a physical skill in a dream, they actually improve on that skill in real life.. During the day you just remember the dream, but with a happier ending. If you have a child who is having a recurring nightmare that they are being chased by a dragon for example, encourage them to think about it as a friendly creature. By doing that a few times during the day it can actually affect the outcome of the dream at night.
