I must be living under a rock, because I did not know that. I learn something here every time I visit! Not many places can you say that about...
I didn't know it either until Wulfman (Den) posted about it several years ago.

Yup... not many places you can say that about.
Still learning something new every time I visit, too.

I recently read REM Illumination--Memory Consolidation by Timothy J. Walter MD. From the back cover:

This is a book about why we dream. Sleep is crucial for the storage of new memories and for their incorporation into the matrix of all our previously existing memories.
