What is Client-Centered Therapy

Is there a relationship between creativity and dreaming? Dreaming has been postulated to represent a functional intrapersonal component of the creative experience. While it seems that creativity can emerge spontaneously as an individual wanders from one topic to another, free from the demands of pursuing a defined task. There are also many examples of famous creative ideas and discoveries that are said to have occurred during a dream. When dreaming, human beings can interact with what they take to be other individuals and things, and, in certain respects, the same happens in the virtual world. The digital revolution is transforming contemporary society. The progress being made in behavioral-basic robotics is opening new fields of innovative investigation. In this challenging context, machine dreaming is a new research field. Indeed, machine inactivity can be assimilated to the sleep state of living beings. In this chapter, the theme of creativity and dreaming is discussed, also in light of emerging developments in the neurosciences and artificial intelligence.
