It is now well established that postlearning sleep is beneficial for human memory performance. Learning experiences influence the content of subsequent sleep mentation (ie, dreaming). This article reviews evidence that newly encoded memories are reactivated and consolidated in the sleeping brain, and that this process is directly reflected in the content of concomitant sleep mentation, providing a valuable window into the mnemonic functions of sleep.
