Dreams have produced art, music, novels, films, mathematical proofs, designs for architecture, telescopes, and computers. Dreaming is essentially our brain thinking in another neurophysiologic state-and therefore it is likely to solve some problems on which our waking minds have become stuck. This neurophysiologic state is characterized by high activity in brain areas associated with imagery, so problems requiring vivid visualization are also more likely to get help from dreaming. This article reviews great historical dreams and modern laboratory research to suggest how dreams can aid creativity and problem-solving.
梦境催生了艺术、音乐、小说、电影、数学证明、建筑设计、望远镜和计算机。从本质上讲，做梦是我们的大脑在另一种神经生理状态下进行的思考——因此，它有可能解决我们清醒时思维陷入困境的一些问题。这种神经生理状态的特点是与意象相关的大脑区域活动度高，因此需要生动可视化的问题也更有可能从梦境中得到帮助。本文回顾了伟大的历史之梦和现代实验室研究，以探讨梦境如何帮助创造力和解决问题。
