Creative Mix:

30% Replay → weaker consolidation, higher risk of forgetting / drift.

60% Counterfactual → much stronger generation of new strategies, but also higher chance of inventing false associations.

10% Distortion → same as before (just enough emotional colour).

Prediction: Creativity & insight first, accuracy second.
She will generalise more aggressively, but she may “hallucinate” false rules or overwrite stable knowledge.
Result:

Navigation ability jumps more (faster problem-solving, ~25% gain).

Word recall less stable (some drift, but gains metaphorical strategies).

Stronger emotional tie to “speaking situations,” making them highly memorable.

Risks: false associations (“strangers smiling = safe friend”) unless corrected by future waking experience.

Balanced Mix:

60% Replay → strong consolidation, protects what she already knows.

30% Counterfactual → slower but safer generalisation.

10% Distortion → mild emotional salience.

Prediction: Accuracy and stability first, insight second.
She will be more cautious, but less likely to make false leaps.

Result:

Stable word recall improves by ~15%.

Navigation puzzle solved next trial.

Slightly more robust face discrimination.

Insight is moderate, but not radical.

Accuracy remains high; no false rules formed.

Trade-off

version (0.3/0.6/0.1) → better for rapid exploration and big insights (like dreaming about being naked before an interview: strong counterfactual/emotional recombination). It’s riskier but closer to human-like dreaming.

version (0.6/0.3/0.1) → better for robustness and reliability, ensuring she doesn’t drift too far from ground truth.

Performance Metrics (mocked from 100 dream cycles)

Metric Balanced Mix Creative Mix

Memory stability (replay gain) +0.8 +0.4

Generalisation (novel solutions) +0.5 +0.9

Emotional salience +0.3 +0.7

False association risk Low (0.1) Medium (0.4)

Insight frequency Moderate High

REM sleep = Creative Mix (wild connections, insights, some false memories)

NREM sleep = Balanced Mix (careful consolidation, stability)
