Applying psychology in the 21st century

Summary

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center occupy in experiments with dreams. Robert Stickgold is an investigator who is studying human consciousness while they are sleeping.

Researcher is interested in how daily routine and emotions are related to people's dreams. In order to comprehend how these things are operating, Stickgold asks participants to enjoy various activities such as playing Tetris. The result of this is quite exciting because almost all participants, even those who have some psychological problems, affirm of seeing some pieces of Tetris in their dreams. Moreover, another resercher Daniel Wegner declares that not only data that people are contemplating about reflect in person's dreams. According to her, even when participants are trying to forget certain facts, they have an ability to appear in our dreams.

Some explorers believe that dreams help to solve problems such as visual ones. Other researchers at the University of Chicago made an experiment with students and came to the conclusion that a good night's sleep strengthens the power of knowledge.
