Es ist möglich, im Schlaf zu lernen. Sollten wir?

New studies are beginning to suggest that we can learn in our sleep, a possibility that has long been condemned to the world of science fiction, and thus not taken up for decades. While dream researchers are publishing papers that report increased problem-solving and physical performance after puzzles or tasks appeared in participants’ dreams, even those spearheading the research efforts are cautious. Interfering with sleep may disrupt the body’s ability to reset—and it may disturb the very processes of memory consolidation and discard that are imperative to learning.

Shayla Love writes about recent research suggesting learning and communicating while asleep may be possible after all, but not without risks.

You know what sleep is… physiologically, right? Hey I wonder if I could get skinny by eating WAY more than I’m already eating.

„Creative problem-solving after experimentally provoking dreams of unsolved puzzles during REM sleep*“ 2026*

*“*we studied individuals who frequently have lucid dreams“

„Participants slept after failing to solve several puzzles that had unique soundtracks, and they were instructed to continue working on a puzzle if they heard its soundtrack in a dream. Half of the soundtracks were played during REM sleep to reactivate memories of corresponding puzzles, with the goal of biasing dreams to connect with those specific puzzles *versus* the remaining puzzles. Those sound cues reliably increased dreaming about the associated puzzles. Furthermore, a post-hoc analysis showed that, for participants with an increase in cue-related dreaming, cues boosted later puzzle-solving“

roughly 40% dream incorporated puzzles were solved the next day, as compared to roughly 18% for non-dream incorporated puzzles (p = 0.037)

How do I read this, it seems to be behind a paywall 🙁
