What does Research show about the Dreaming Brain?
Most of the Brain is active when we dream, only the executive and sensory functions are off line (the rational thinking and sensing parts). b) Dreams seem to process unresolved emotions the Limbic system (that associates emotions with sensory information) is highly active in the dream state. c) Language centers on the left side of the brain are off-line, but the same centers on the right side, responsible for processing associations are ON in dreams. Therefore the Language of Dream is that of association, in particular emotional associations, not the literal naming by which we identify things in waking life.
