Thread: Dreaming improves logic and reasoning

There was this one dream I had recently, and I remember working through a philosophical problem, and I was talking in a very "high level" (or pretentious and obscure) way. The thing is I don't remember what actually said but at the time I understood all of it. I need to find some way to remember that.

Happens all the time.

You didn't necessarily have to use words at all...Dreams are this great place where we stop needing "words" and we start having just concepts that when you wake up you may think were words but were in reality concepts without definitions in the human language at the moment, or at least without your current vocabulary. (that isn't to say it is indescribable in the human language just that it hasn't been.)

The latest issue of Scientific American: The Mind has this topic as its cover story. Just got it and will let you guys know if there is anything interesting to post.
