Problem-solving through Dreams..

If you’ve been ruminating over a problem before going to bed

If there is a conundrum stuck in your head

Then sleep on it- if luck is on your side

You might dream, and your dream might provide

A solution to your predicament or at least a way

To move forward when you wake up the next day

*

To consolidate memories and solve problems nature has designed

That we dream during sleep, resting the body while the mind

Devoid of external stimuli can process old information

The brain stays active, in subconscious contemplation

*

Do you remember an instance where you woke up refreshed

With a novel solution for a problem in your head

In your rapid-eye-movement sleep, you probably had a dream

The solution did not appear out of nowhere, as it might seem

*

Dreaming can solve problems, but that does need

Good quality, natural, unaided sleep indeed

This is a reminder for me to sleep on my problems tonight

Hopefully tomorrow morning an answer shall be in my sight
