Mirror Neurons and Dreams

March 25, 2009 · 1 Comment

I was just thinking about mirror neurons and was wondering what happens when we dream. If our motor neurons light up when we imagine something but are not really performing an action, do they also light up if we dream about an action?

    Well, I wonder if the real question is if we watch our dreams. If we do watch them, then the mirror neurons should fire. Doesn’t REM indicate that we watch?
