So there are lots of theories, but none have been definitively proven. One of the theories is that dreaming is absolutely crucial to the development of consciousness in early life, so what differentiates us from other animals. But it also appears that dreaming is of significant importance in terms of memory, in terms of emotional processing, in terms of learning something about our environment.

And one of the popular theories about dreaming is that actually it creates a virtual environment in which we can tweak our model of the world around us so that we're integrating the sum of all our past experiences to tweak what we understand about the world around us.

I think to argue that it predicts the future is very difficult from a scientific rationalist perspective. But certainly there is some evidence that REM is linked to creativity. So REM sleep being the stage of sleep that we most associate with dreaming. You know, there are many, many examples of people who have dreamt particular songs or particular works of literature.

You know, I think it was Paul McCartney in Yesterday is often... It's often used as an example of that he said that came to him in a dream. So, you know, clearly there is potentially something in the fact that REM is about creating links between different parts of the brain which facilitates creativity.

I think that has largely fallen away as a popular idea in the world of neuroscience.

Yes, the brain is a creature of habit. And, you know, sleep is a learned habit and as such can be unlearned. I think the exception to that is that occasionally I see people who have become so obsessed by their sleep that they actually, if they don't meet that rigid schedule, they become very, very stressed and then don't sleep at all as a result.
