Exactly, that replay is helping to embed those skills during sleep. People who actively dream develop a completely different brain than those who don't. Far more neuronal development in active dreamers, as dreaming is a neurological process. Sadly, most people go into stunted dream development and suffer from cognitive atrophy so their dreams are no longer part of an experience they can have. |

Treat the dreaming mind the same way you treat the body when going to the gym. There are three core regions of the dreaming mind that suffer from atrophy and benifit greatly from stimulation training. Pro-Tip 2: Start with the weakest regions of stunted development and get those regions developing first. #1 Dream Recall: The region of the brain that facilitates dream recall resides in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex. #2 Sensory-Replay: The Somatosensory region of the brain produces taste/hearing/touch/taste/smell in our dream-replay. All five-senses take part in memory-consolidation, if you are lacking any of these 5 senses as part of your dream experience then these sensory regions suffer from stunted dream development and require stimulation training to start development to come back online. #3 Self-Awareness: The Prefrontal Cortex is where self-awareness resides. This part naturally goes offline during sleep, but during rest it can become active gain producing a lucid or self-aware dream. It is also developmental so if this isn't happening, stunted dream development is the reason why. Pro-tip 3: Dreams are developmental and neurological development for any skill takes time. There are no short-cuts for neurological development, so be patient with the slow progress but note all the developmental results along the way. It can take over a week for some people to rehabilitate any of the above regions and this reflects in age so 60+ may take 2 weeks or even 3 in some cases, but development through stimulation training proves beneficial for all age groups unless the person is in a state of severe cognitive decline (dementia/althimerz etc). Pro-Tip 4: Remember a prior dream if you wake up remembering nothing. Remembering past dreams does still pipe through the MPF and will stimulate the neural pathways and neurons. Even taking time to remember dreams anytime during the day helps with stimulating this region, and will help with development. Pro-Tip 5: Use a soft-alarm that eases you awake We have evolved a survival mechanism that flushes dream recall if we are startled awake. It trips the fight-or-flight response and causes a memory-flush of dreams preparing you to deal with the threat upon waking. Switching to an alarm that starts softly helps. Using a light-alarm is useful. Putting your phone into do-not-disturb mode during sleep is also helpful to prevent interruptions. Ear-plugs are also useful if the environment is full of external noises and interruptions. |

There are a lot of problems with the disconnect with natural neurological development and dreaming due to the lack of proper science up until 2010 when fMRI and more advanced probing into the brain started to reveal that the act of dreaming is fundamental to our cognitive development, learning and memory-consolidation. The brain manages our neuronal development during REM sleep, this has always been the case but it took the last decade to get this evidence established with neuroscience. For example, stimulates interrupt REM sleep will stunt learning development and should not be used to promote 'dreaming' as it can interrupt REM and your natural sleep-cycle. Lot's of 'dream gurus' promote stimulant use for dreaming to sell neurotropic dream gimmicks that are not at all required for native cognitive development. The classic snake-oil trope of claiming a person needs a pill to solve a problem. Just natural sleep and some developmental training yields all the results for very little effort. The other problem are inventive gimmicks and dream techniques that do not provide stimulation to the regions of the brain that deal with dreaming. A good example of things that won't work: Putting a crystal under the pillow, using a dream catcher, staring at a pine cone. It's about as effective as getting these to do your work-out routine at the gym. No stimulation = no development. Parents to tell their kids not to dream are further stunting their child's cognitive development. Promoting the myth that dreams are crazy, wasteful or without any real purpose simply sends people down the stunted development pathway robbing them of a rich developed dream life. Listen to their dreams and encourage them to dream more. Know a little about dream psychology so you can console them on overcoming nightmares should they arise rather then letting those nightmares fester, embed deeper and become a real problem for their dreams in the future. I started with stimulation training in 1986, and wrote about it in 1998. To this date, I am only aware of one 'dream expert' that is teaching stimulation training for dream development and that is because like me they are into dream neuroscience, dream development and has a great understanding of the dreaming mind. In the large swath of dream coaches I have reviewed, most rely on old 'yogi' or 'guru' methods for dreaming which to be honest makes it much more complicated than it needs to be. What has this accomplished? I have helped rehabilitate dream recall in people as old as 70 who haven't had dream recall in decades without drugs, supplements or changes to their sleeping patterns. Several clinical dream researchers that I know go the 'galantamine' route to address this issue and I wouldn't recommend this unless someone really had a neural degenerative disease that 'galantamine' was developed to treat like Alzheimer. Some took up to 3 weeks to get dream recall to become nightly and that is because this is developmental, it takes time. No magic short-cut 3-easy steps for instant results. People who lacked full sensory-replay during dreams having only vision/hearing have been able to promote development in the weak sensory regions where their dreams now have full sensory-replay and improved textures/colors for better dream fidelity. From what I know, I am the only one who does this as part of stimulation training where results become apparent for participants. It seems to be overlooked for dream development although I presented this back in 1998 and in my 2010 book. Many people who worked with stimulation training for self-awareness are now nightly lucid dreamers, and this comes naturally invoked with normal sleep patterns because we develop the prefrontal cortex for self-awareness. As it should be, once the development is done, maintenance is all that is required. I have helped numerous people overcome nightmares, one person with night-terrors and one person with childhood PTSD that was resolved through clinical dreaming built around those results. Clinical dreaming is something that I do see a lot more of and I am glad they are finally using dreaming to resolve embedded nested traumas and fears. That is what the brain does during REM, it reprograms itself which can cut-out embedded fears etc. Read about this process from this study on how REM prunes and maintains neuronal development. REM sleep selectively prunes and maintains new synapses in development and learning [link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov (secure)] |

The loss is the development of the dreaming mind and how it declines without stimulation and development. Puts you in the dream rehabilitation category, and that recovery is slower than those still in the dream development category. But it does come back slowly with training, likely not to peak levels but better than nothing.
