The hypothesis is put forward that rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in early life serves as (1) an indicator for the degree of brain maturation and (2) the promoter of further brain development. This hypothesis, although not exclusive, differs (a) from the theory of Roffwarg et al. that REM sleep substitutes for 'wakefulness' during the period (early life) in which wakefulness is limited, (b) from the theory of Crick and Mitchson, i.e., the 'unlearning' hypothesis of REM sleep, (c) from the theory of Jouvet, i.e., that REM sleep is a time for genetic read-out and (d) from the theory of Freud, i.e., that dreams fulfil our wishes (in other words, activation of neuronal systems that were disproportionally activated during wakefulness).
早期生命中的快速眼动（REM）睡眠起到了（1）大脑成熟程度的指标以及（2）大脑进一步发育的促进者的作用。这一假说虽然并非唯一，但（a）与罗夫瓦尔格等人的理论不同，后者认为在清醒受限的时期（早期生命），REM睡眠替代了“清醒”；（b）与克里克和米切森的理论不同，即REM睡眠的“遗忘”假说；（c）与茹韦的理论不同，即REM睡眠是基因读取的时间；（d）与弗洛伊德的理论不同，即梦满足我们的愿望（换句话说，激活在清醒时被过度激活的神经元系统）。
