Why "Platypus Dreams"?

Kathy read an article in Discover magazine called "Platypus Dreams." Platypuses display the same types of brain activity during REM sleep that newborn humans do. So if you can figure out if newborn humans dream then you'll know whether platypuses dream and visa versa. Certainly an interesting thing to consider. Besides, platypuses are odd and amusing creatures.
