Is there something about dreaming that enhances our creativity? Or is it just sleep itself? Scientists say they’re closer to an answer, thanks to an unusual study that used an electronic glove to guide people’s dreams while they slumbered.
On a stormy night in 1816, Mary Shelley had a terrifying dream about a corpse coming to life—a nightmare that inspired her to write. More than a century later, a melody in a dream led Paul McCartney to compose one of The Beatles’s most beloved songs,
In the first set of experiments, the computer instructed the volunteers to close their eyes and relax. When they started to drift off, a recording told them to “think about trees.” The team then waited for the glove to detect that participants had entered the first stage of sleep, or “N1,” a semilucid state considered a. During this stage, we can still process information from the outside, but our mind is less constrained than when we are awake, and our thoughts flow uncontrolled.
Many participants who considered themselves “stuck and uncreative” were surprised at how inventive they could be in their dreams, says study co-author Adam Haar, a cognitive scientist at MIT. “Most people don’t know that there’s a piece of themselves that is biologically designed to be totally unstuck, but they’re forgetting it every night.”
