Class 3

Memories are stored in the mind by the brain hippocampus involved in the formation of dreams.

In the brain, dreams are memory processes.

The functioning of the brain does not stop when you sleep and the proof are the dreams.

Memories. All a person lives on a daily basis as part of the origin of the dream images that form during sleep.

Human memory works through association of ideas which means that the more connected is one thing to another, the easier to remember. Stories, thoughts, emotions, sensations, sites visited … everything is stored in memory but in dreams are not reflected as they were. These inconsistencies are revealed in dreams as a product of brain failure in wanting to integrate their own information.

The changes that occur in the hippocampus of the brain during sleep influence the formation of dreams. This information is corroborated by images from brain activity during sleep, “activity in the hippocampus increases during the so-called REM (rapid eye movement) sleep.”

When you have completed all the stages of sleep “without interruption”, the dream is filed in the unconscious and as a result you might know that you have dreamed of, but not remember what.

Where are memories stored? What’s the hippocampus in charge of? What are dreams in our memory? How are dreams formed? Describe what happens in the

hippocampus. Why can’t I sometimes remember my

dreams? Good job!!!
