Dreaming Is The Brain’s Way of Learning
A new research has proved that the persons who dream about their tasks perform their tasks much better on waking than those who don’t sleep at all or those who do not see any dreams about it.
The participants in the study were asked to sit in front of the computer screen and to look at the 3D maze for some time. After that some of participants were asked to take a nap. The participants who took the nap and have seen maze in the dreams found their way outside the maze much more quicker than the participants who didn’t slept or those who can’t see maze in their dreams.
Dr Robert Stickgold of Harvard Medical School said “Dreams might a brain’s way of learning. It shows that your brain is working to solve the problem at various levels”
Co-author Dr Erin Wamsley said the study suggests our non-conscious brain works on the things that it deems are most important.
Well , I don’t know about you but most of the dreams I see are related to my client projects. I’m not sure that am I performing well or not because my clients can answer that well. Lolz . What are your opinions about it ? Please put them in comments below

really? this is so amazing. My sister often dreams about her new job in call center. She’s new, so she’s not that good at first. I have heard her one time that she was talking while sleeping. While she’s dreaming that she’s in her cubicle answering for a call I think at the same time she is learning her lines in answering calls. And she said that she’s now improving.

Yes, this is true. I remember reading about this topic in the newspaper sometime back. It said that there is evidence that we learn while we sleep. Experiments have associated intense periods of daytime learning with longer periods of sleep that night, and particularly with dreaming. But people awakened repeatedly from their dreams don’t retain much of what they learned the day before. Now this gives me another excuse to go back to sleep

My thoughts are that dreaming is more like the brain’s way of organizing and categorizing information, similar in a way to how computers defragment data, but also like categorizing information in a very complex database. Links are created within the brain between different things, and possibilities are also mentally explored. This exploration of possibilities, combined with the linking, organizing and categorizing which also occurs, partly as a result of these mental explorations is what we experience as dreams.
I think the reason why people who have had a nap are able to find their way out of the maze faster is that the brain has had a chance to explore and categories the information about the maze.

This research study is very interesting. I wonder if it would make sense if all of us tried to dream of work while in sleep, but if only dreaming was voluntary in nature. In fact, we know very little of how dreams take place.
