Einstein said he would sleep on a problem and have the answer in the morning. Dreams are the subconscious mind working out our fears and difficulties which is why we don't all freak out all the time.

Quite a different type of question. I definitely agree with the answer. However, it might have enhanced the question & answer with greater factual data.

but would they remember answering and would they be held accountable for that answer?doesn't seem like that would be considered legal. can a person lie while answering in their sleep? wonder what prompted the research.

I was able to answer algebra problems in my sleep after unsuccessfully trying to work out the problem doing homework.
