According to a new research, dreaming about something youve learned may actually be an indicator that your memory is working overtime to retain that information. Doctors have long【B1】______the importance of a good nights rest—for everything from improving performance to【B2】______physical well being. 【B3】______this latest inquiry suggests that【B4】______sleep is beneficial, dreams may actually【B5】______whether our memories continue to work through【B6】______. In this latest research, researchers found that, after【B7】______ performing a task, study participants who took a nap and dreamt about that task【B8】______both those who hadnt slept, and those whod had a dreamless sleep or whose dreams didnt touch【B9】______the task. As part of the research, subjects were asked to study a three dimensional computer maze so that later, when they were【B10】______placed somewhere in the middle of that maze, theyd be able to find their way out. Between the initial【B11】______of the maze, and the later task, some participants were allowed to nap. Among those who rested, several had dreams that【B12】______the maze—some saying that their dreams【B13】______the music that had been playing while they studied the maze earlier, while others imagined the maze as【B14】______caves that theyd had to【B15】______through. Later, when participants were put back in the maze, those whod dreamt about it had greater【B16】______finding their way around than those who hadnt dreamt about the【B17】______, or who hadnt slept at all. The findings indicate that dreams may be a(n) 【B18】______of memory processing, and working over a problem in your sleep is a(n) 【B19】______that your brain is actively trying to【B20】______that information. The next step in the research, they say, is to examine how dreams during a full nights sleep relate to memory process. 【B1】
