REM sleep is when we have the most intense dreams but the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex, whose role is to inhibit thought awareness, reduces activity. DLPFC is also less active during improvisation suggesting that if we inhibit ourselves less & reduce the DLPFC activity, we can become more creative.

Collaboration provides multiple perspectives and methodologies leading to novel dialogue and expression. Combining scientific exploration with creative expression offers unique opportunities for forming new knowledge and creativity. To tackle the intractable challenges of our society requires a language of cross-disciplinarity interconnectedness.
