A New Dream

What happens when you dream, and you tell yourself a joke that you never heard before and laugh?

Studies suggest that the subconscious mind absorbs 10,000 bits of sensory data per second—far more than your brain can consciously decode and recall. You may have heard a similar joke in passing without consciously retaining it in your memory. The belief is that while you are asleep, your hippocampus, your brain’s search engine, replays for your frontal lobes what has happened during the previous 24 hours or so. It's much like a movie editor who reviews the takes and decides what to discard and what to keep, the frontal lobes decide what to discard and what to send to long-term memory. Some of the information it may replay for you in dreams, especially if the brain thinks it is important to you.
