Studies on cerebral hemispheric specialization suggest that the right and left hemispheres process information in different and sometimes conflicting ways. Rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM sleep may reflect relatively greater activation or efficiency of the right and left hemispheres, respectively. Much of the mentation in wakefulness is dominated by the left hemisphere and its heavy language orientation. Modern theories of dreaming suggest that new solutions or adaptations to existing problems (i.e., new attitudes) may be enhanced by REM sleep and reflected in dreams. This report reviews experimental and clinical evidence to find neurophysiological, neuropsychological, and clinical support for the view that information is processed during REM sleep through increased activation, efficiency, and/or relative functional isolation of the right hemisphere.
关于大脑半球特化的研究表明，左右半球以不同且有时相互冲突的方式处理信息。快速眼动（REM）睡眠和非快速眼动睡眠可能分别反映了左右半球相对更高的激活或效率。清醒状态下的大部分思维活动由左半球及其强烈的语言倾向主导。现代梦境理论表明，REM睡眠可能会增强对现有问题的新解决方案或适应方式（即新态度），并在梦境中体现出来。本报告回顾了实验和临床证据，以寻找神经生理学、神经心理学和临床方面的支持，来证明在REM睡眠期间，信息是通过右半球激活增加、效率提高和/或相对功能隔离来处理的这一观点。
