"The thing that people are most likely to forget is dreams."
Chen Chen said softly as he walked, "I once read a research paper on dreams. It said that within 5 minutes of waking up from sleep, about 50% of the content of the dream will be forgotten. In the next 15 minutes, more than 90% of the details in the dream will be forgotten.
"So, dreams may truly be a kind of 'anti-information' that exists in reality."
Chen Chen continued. "Of course, the anti-information here has nothing to do with antimemetic effects. The reason dreams are easily forgotten is that there are 'MCH neurons' in the brain, which secretes a 'melanin accumulating hormone'. This neuron and its secreted hormone can be mapped to the hippocampus and the hippocampus is the brain's main memory area.
