Dream, Daydream, Memory
Theatrical Colloquia December 10, 2025 Mircea Levente Cociardi
Dreaming may contribute to memory consolidation, though the evidence is mixed. This article examines how dreams during different sleep stages and waking reverie could influence memory, and how memory might shape dreams. Proponents and skeptics offer arguments for and against the ability of dreams to affect memory and vice versa. The intersection of dreams, memory, and consciousness is proposed as a fertile area for understanding theatrical dreams.
