The “Continual Activation Theory” proposes that your dreams result from your brain’s need to constantly consolidate and create long term memories in order to function properly. Without this unlearning process, which results in your dreams, your brain could be overrun by useless connections, and parasitic thoughts could disrupt the necessary thinking you need to do while you’re awake.Ĥ. A 1983 neurobiological theory of dreaming, called “reverse learning,” holds that while sleeping, and mainly during REM sleep cycles, your neocortex reviews these neural connections and dumps the unnecessary ones. They are created by everything you think, and everything you do. Researchers theorize that certain memory processes can happen only when we are asleep, and our dreams are a signal that these processes are taking place.ģ. There are about ten thousand trillion neural connections within the architecture of your brain. In fact, they were up to ten times better at it than those who only thought of the maze while awake between attempts, and those who napped but did not dream about the maze. In 2010, researchers found that subjects were much better at getting through a complex 3D maze if they had napped and dreamed of the maze prior to their second attempt. Freud believed that by analyzing those remembered elements, the unconscious content would be revealed to our conscious mind, and psychological issues stemming from its repression could be addressed and resolved.Ģ. To increase performance on certain mental tasks, sleep is good, but dreaming while sleeping is better. Freud theorized that everything we remember when we wake up from a dream is a symbolic representation of our unconscious, primitive thoughts, urges and desires. In the early 1900’s, Sigmund Freud proposed that while all of our dreams, including our nightmares, are a collection of images from our daily conscious lives, they also have symbolic meanings which relate to the fulfillment of our subconscious wishes. And while we still don’t have any definitive answers, we have some theories. In the years since, we haven’t paused in our quest to understand why we dream. ![]() In the 3rd millennium BCE, Mesopotamian kings recorded and interpreted their dreams on wax tablets.

There's no need to be familiar with Sapkowski’s world to gain an appreciation for the inhabitants and their idle chatter, from haughty nobles tucked away behind gilded barricades, right down to grimy serfs and non-humans (dwarves and elves) fighting prejudice while making the best of it in their manure-stained hovels.įar from the cliché of noble knights and scheming sorcerers, almost every denizen is portrayed in refreshingly unrelenting shades of grey.

Naturally the console version will always struggle to compete with high-end PC setups, particularly when it comes to contrast and lighting, but the environments are nonetheless detailed, and beautifully presented. It might feel like a crime to restrict a beautifully rich world such as the Northern Kingdoms to such linearity, but the railroad ends there, as in true Witcher fashion the moral choices Geralt makes will determine how successful he is, and how much collateral damage is inflicted along the way.

The work of Telkes and others also informed students Sara worked with on the annual George School Green Initiative project and as part of her Social Science of Climate Change course. “Much of this relates to the work Telkes and others have been doing for centuries, trying to optimize homes for energy efficiency, long before that was even a term!” said Sara.

An immigrant, Telkes earned her doctorate in physical chemistry, and went on to become one of very few women at MIT in a field that is still heavily dominated by men today.

She was amazingly adept at communicating with the public and getting people excited about solar housing-in the 1940s!-and there is a lot we can learn from that.” ![]() This tension-between science and the public-was really at the heart of the conflict between Maria Telkes and her colleagues at MIT. The issue is that our societies are not willing to do what is necessary, so the most important work lies in figuring out how to communicate in ways that resonate with people. Scientists have been telling us for years exactly how to solve the problem. We often talk about how the science of solving climate change is actually the easy part. “The focus of this course is on how to use our understanding of psychology, economics, politics, and social studies to create effective plans for change. “I created the climate change course in large part due to my dissertation work on Maria Telkes,” Sara explained. Remarkably, Maria Telkes’ story is relevant to all of them.Ī big part of the story of solar housing in the first half of the twentieth century, explains Sara, is how the difference between a good engineering idea and viable financial idea is connected to what resonates with people at any given time, which largely has to do with behavioral economics and marketing. ![]() ![]() Sara is teaching a wide variety of courses this year: Economics, the Social Science of Climate Change, Women’s History, and American Architecture and Urbanism. “It’s a super-fascinating topic that I am delighted to talk endlessly about!” “The producers reached out to me because Maria Telkes features prominently in a chapter of my dissertation, which is on solar housing initiatives in the US in the first half of the twentieth century,” explained Sara.
