I seem to have high dreaming sleep when I’ve spent long hours doing some sort of detailed, focused mental flow work (cf: a day doing CAD yesterday). It’s not physically exhausting like a day hiking, which seems to lead to dead, dreamless sleep. Anyone else notice this?

Half-assed theory: high dreaming = active integration into memory of recent learning. If you’re not dreaming you’re not learning. And only hands-on high-tempo trial-and-error learning has this effect, not reading or very slow iteration loops that span days.

perhaps another half-ass for this theory: Just having a superficial self-awareness of One's own connectome when ingesting new information enables the accelerated refactorization of neurons, henceforth; learning. Consider developing a metacognitive, spatial framework for new info

Certainly to improve a dream-driven process. I use a 'Castles of the Mind' framework to situate new ideas amongst what I know, synaptically training understanding with imaginative visualization As knitting this thing becomes more complex, we need memories to contextualize info
