Dream research needs more studies like this, returning to fundamental psychophysiological questions with methodological rigor. In this study for example, there was no effect of tactile stimulation on dream content when appropriate controls are used. 1/2 #SleepPeeps #Psychscisky

Can dreams help us see memory consolidation as it unfolds in the sleeping brain? In this new paper, we describe how dreams reactivate multiple memories simultaneously, combining fragments of recent and remote memory in a way that may be adaptive. 1/2 #SleepPeeps #neuroskyence #psychscisky
