Good read, but the conclusions made in this 35-year old paper are a bit outdated. This reverse-learning idea has long been supplanted by the threat-simulation theory: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/behavioral-and-brain-sciences/article/reinterpretation-of-dreams-an-evolutionary-hypothesis-of-the-function-of-dreaming/EE0E7DB39E361540D2DDA79C262EDA7E https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/behavioral-and-brain...
- drakenot 8y agoI'm genuinely curious how they test their conclusions with something like this. The 35 year old theory seems equally as likely as the threat-simulation theory. What has made threat-simulation supplant other theories on this topic?
