This dream is sponsored by Amazon. Don't like how it's going? Dream, "Alexa, wake me up!".

Experiments involving playing music during sleep have revealed a type of dream engineering that doubled subjects' problem-solving abilities.

Intriguing study. Most interesting that even people without any dream lucidity still benefit from this

I don’t have any tough puzzles to solve but I bet this wouldn’t hurt to try for making tough life decisions using the same method

So to attempt applying their experiment to something other than puzzle solving, I guess maybe meditate on whatever life problem you're going through while listening to a specific song, then sleep with that song on?

Edit: fuck it I'm doing a science experiment tonight, now what should I meditate on... If I can't figure something out I'll just play chess while listening to a song on repeat, never hurts to improve my terrible chess skills
