I was reading Discover magazine at the otpometrist and I found an article about unsolved mysteries about the brain. There was a section on dreaming that said the most agreed upon answer for the purpose of sleep is that "sleep plays a critical role in learning and consolidating memories and in forgetting inconsequential details. In other words, sleep allows the brain to store away the important stuff and take out the neural trash."

I've heard people say that LD takes the teacher out of the dreams and I thought that was rubbish, but then I saw this. Would a LD stop your brain from creating permanent memories? Would a LD make you stupider? I pose this question not as an attack but as a debate. What do you think about this? I personally have not made up my mind yet.
