Research into dreams includes exploration of the mechanisms of dreaming, the influences on dreaming, and disorders linked to dreaming. Work in oneirology overlaps with neurology and can vary from quantifying dreams to analyzing brain waves during dreaming, to studying the effects of drugs and neurotransmitters on sleeping or dreaming.
Dreams and reports of dreams are produced in distinct states of consciousness resulting in a delay between the dream event and its recall while awake. During this time lag forgetting may occur resulting in an incomplete report. Forgetting is proportional to the amount of time elapsed between the experience and its recall. [2]
Dreams can usually be recalled if a person is awakened while dreaming. [98] Women tend to have more frequent dream recall than men.

Cognitive neuroscience is the scientific field that is concerned with the study of the biological processes and aspects that underlie cognition, [1] with a specific focus on the neural connections in the brain which are involved in mental processes.
Embodied imagination is a therapeutic and creative form of working with dreams and memories pioneered by Dutch Jungian psychoanalyst Robert Bosnak [1] [2] and based on principles first developed by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, especially in his work on alchemy, [3] and on the work of American archetypal psychologist James Hillman, who focused on soul as a simultaneous multiplicity of ...
The majority of studies on sleep creativity have shown that sleep can facilitate insightful behavior and flexible reasoning, and there are several hypotheses about the creative function of dreams. On the other hand, a few recent studies have supported a theory of creative insomnia, in which creativity is significantly correlated with sleep ...
