Cristina Marzano and her colleagues at the University of Rome have succeeded, for the first time, in explaining how humans remember their dreams. Yet, new research published in the Journal of Neuroscience provides compelling insights into the mechanisms that underlie dreaming and the strong relationship our dreams have with our memories. So, over the years, numerous theories have been put forth in an attempt to illuminate the mystery behind human dreams, but, until recently, strong tangible evidence has remained largely elusive. In particular, the “threat simulation theory” suggests that dreaming should be seen as an ancient biological defence mechanism that provided an evolutionary advantage because of its capacity to repeatedly simulate potential threatening events – enhancing the neuro-cognitive mechanisms required for efficient threat perception and avoidance. Yet, given the vast documentation of realistic aspects to human dreaming as well as indirect experimental evidence that other mammals such as cats also dream, evolutionary psychologists have theorized that dreaming really does serve a purpose. Humans, the theory goes, construct dream stories after they wake up, in a natural attempt to make sense of it all. One prominent neurobiological theory of dreaming is the “activation-synthesis hypothesis,” which states that dreams don’t actually mean anything: they are merely electrical brain impulses that pull random thoughts and imagery from our memories.

Since then, technological advancements have allowed for the development of other theories. Carl Jung (who studied under Freud) also believed that dreams had psychological importance, but proposed different theories about their meaning. Freud’s theory centred around the notion of repressed longing - the idea that dreaming allows us to sort through unresolved, repressed wishes. While there has always been a great interest in the interpretation of human dreams, it wasn’t until the end of the nineteenth century that Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung put forth some of the most widely-known modern theories of dreaming. In fact, the Greeks and Romans were convinced that dreams had certain prophetic powers. Early civilizations thought of dreams as a medium between our earthly world and that of the gods. Pacing back and forth, lost our head in these clouds It's not the cause of puffing that loud, it's more like joining the crowd Crowded craniums cracking under pressure, pressing buttons Backwards, back tracking, track it back to where we lost all our stuffing And filled it back up with the things that help us get by on a daily Subconsciously thinking we're gods and no better than Ye It's crazy, but still we compare our sins to one another and reason I used to dream about living and now I dream about leaving I used to kick it with the clique but then it wasn't clicking Funny how things can change when you start to hear it and listen Dear Mr.For centuries people have pondered the meaning of dreams.

Of course the easy way out looks fun and free Knockin' doors down, and showin' how to grind like Bun and C But bunting won't win you the game, ridiculous claims Like maybe if I sip a little then I won't have to think about all The drama and drown out the pain, get ready for change Aspirations had us happy, thinking that's how I'll do it I'm tired of losing people to the pleasure of sipping fluids Blew it out of proportion and now it's feeling hopeless Thought about some people when I wrote this, put down the potion I used to dream, I used to dream But see things changed, man, I used to dream x2 Grew up way too quick, quickly sprint to the end of this life Never extinguish this light, ever so bright on this night This fight isn't over, come on over red rover, I'm calling Marco Ralph Lauren might make you more of a poser Stop acting like these brands can make you look better Better make a choice, too concerned with how we look Don’t exercise our voice, voices in our head Telling us that we could never make it Find out we're holding ourselves back Too busy being complacence
