    Hi There
    I think you'll find that sleep is for assimilating information
    already learned. I rember we all got very excited at the
    possibilites of learning while we slept..what a dream..excuse
    the pun...how we would put those 'dead' hours to good use.

    Sadly not. Over the past 20 years our knowledge of how the brain
    works has more than doubled and that was one of the findings.
    wedid a lot of research on dreams and sleep learning at
    Edinburgh in the 80s and were most disappointed to find
    assimilation rather than new learning took place.

    essentially we are making sende of the new information by
    putting it in order and assimilating it with information we
    already have on that subject. We tend to gain understanding of
    theninform,ation we have just learned as well, though that may
    take several days sometimes even weeks before we gte a full
    appreciatio of a new subject. The term for this subconscious
    learning is Ontogenisis.

    Sunblimal learning by the way is totally illegal. Messages flash
    on a screen so quickly we are not consciously aware of them but
    our subconscious picks them up, assimilates them and before we
    know where we are we are stocking up on Whizzo Garden fertilizer
    even though we live 15 stories up and hate gardening. A slight
    exageration but you know what I mean.

    Hope this has been of some help. BTW Accelerated Learning uses
    the subconscious legally to speed up information uptake and
    understanding.
