sleep/dreams
i found this so interesting:
“Walker suggests that one function of REM sleep - dreaming, in particular - is to allow the brain to sift through that day’s events, process any negative emotion attached to them, then strip it away from the memories. He likens the process to applying a “nocturnal soothing balm.” REM sleep, he says, “tries to ameliorate the sharp emotional chips and dents that life gives you along the way.”
“It’s not that you’ve forgotten. You haven’t,” he says. “It’s a memory of an emotional episode, but it’s no longer emotional itself.”
wow.
