Dimensions in time: part four

[this is good]
The "clean up" cycle of sleep is not confined to REM dream states. In fact, it's been shown that in patients who were taking various medications that suppressed REM sleep (and thus, their dreams), there seem to be no ill effects on the functioning of their brains, so clean up was taking place outside of REM sleep... while they weren't dreaming. And this is true even of people who do dream.

What's still unclear is the part dreaming actually plays. No one is really certain, though there are plenty of theories out there.
