芝加哥大学有一个特别的实验室只有在晚上才繁忙。这是一个进行梦的研究的实验室。在这里研究人员对做梦的人进行研究。他们从研究发现中总结出每天晚上每人都做3—7个梦，尽管通常情况下一个人只能记住一个或忘记他所做的全部的梦。
当被研究对象睡眠时，特殊的机器记录下他们的脑电波、眼球的运动及表示梦结束的身体的运动。令人惊奇的是所有的被研究对象都睡得很熟。
观察人员发现人在做梦之前身体会不安地移动。一旦梦开始了，身体会放松，眼部则开始活跃起来，就像帷幕已经拉开，演出即将开始。当机器表明梦已结束时，蜂呜器会叫醒睡眠者。他会站起来，记录下他的梦，然后继续睡，或许会做更多的梦。
研究人员发现如果一个做梦的人在他的梦结束之后马上被叫醒，那么他一般能够回忆出整个的梦。如果他再睡上5分钟，对于梦的记忆就会逐渐消失。这就是为什么大多数人晚上做很多梦，但早上却几乎都不记得了。
