The one i used to dream alot when i was younger: i used to have to swim through the air & i would feel as though i was being chased but couldn't see by who or what..always the front crawl swim stroke too,🤔 in my later years, mid 40's my dreams have become much darker,and full of dread. . Since having surgery to my cervical spine etc. ( though i understand i have nerve damage &, slight damage to spinal cord) i often wonder if its related. Loved this video,thanks

Dreams are highly underrated. People don't understand how euphoric and beneficial they are, as well as the hyperrealism. It's like having your own matrix

This was a nice departure from the norm. Thank you.

Now this is a real doctor, am proud of you Doctor.

your content has always been one of my resources to feed my curiosity . thank you for this intersting and fascinating video !

I always felt like why do we need to live in the imperfection of the real world when our brain already has the key to utopia whenever I wake up from a perfect dream... Then I remember that we need to feed and protect ourselves in this material world to sustain a brain in the first place. I long for the moment humans will break from physical and evolutionnary strains and virtualize our consciousness to give us eternal true happiness, then we could be anything we'd ever want.

Great help to us stemmies/ I have a left side brainstem cavernoma- I didn’t dream for 18 months post diagnosis and I reported my dreams returning as a part of healing Very helpful

This video was fascinating. Bravo!

Loved the video, very instructional, was looking for “anatomy of a dream” in the sense of “goals/desires”, but found this instead. Pretty cool! Gonna make a video on “anatomy of dreams” within the context of “wishes and desires” for life.

I loved the video! Do you have any book recommendations on this topic (namely, recent discoveries in the neuroanatomy of dreams that touch on hypotheses for the biological function of dreaming, as opposed to classical dream theory).

Absolutely, these topics are great to know about. I am doing sleep research myself from neuroscience perspective, let me know if I can be of any help.

We need more knowledge to be spread. Thanks ♥️

Edgar Cayce had some pretty interesting experiences. Or Morgan Robertson who wrote the book Titan,where he wrote about a dream about the Titanic, before the Titanic accident happened.

Great video!!!! Doc

Thanks for this great video. I wonder how long you were searching for that much stock footage! Actually, some of it is too much and distracting. Maybe it's better to only keep additional video material that is actually helping to understand. Keep on going, your videos are great!

This is fascinating. I'm not sure how much research there is with sleep paralysis but I would love to see a video on it from you. The way you explain things in your videos makes it easier to understand all this complex stuff so I hope you consider it :)

Very useful clinical information. I live in a "dreamy" world. I dream continuosly while sleeping. I often realise I am sleeping when I start seeing dreams. I have seen dreams that dwells on the spiritul dimension of dreams. Many dreams had predicted the reality couple days ahead. I often wait for an event to happen when I see specific repetitive dreams like seeing waves. With respect to the spiritual dimension I recall a dream witnessed four decades back during my thirties. I saw the dream during my student days in USA in the early 1980s. I saw one of my farther's aunt in my dream. She was wearing clothes representing a deseased person. The phone rang while I was dreaming and the caller was one the sons of the person I was seeing in the dream. And before the caller say any word I enquired weather his mother is dead. His answer was affirmatve. He was calling from my home country the Maldives. I was receiving the call in New York city half way across the world with a time difference of 9 hours. There is definitely no rational explation to this uncident.

If you want to get into your dreams and your subconscious try some Baclofen. Baclofen will make your night time dreaming intense and vivid. The trick i use is to before I go to sleep is to remind myself that when I wake up repeat what happened in the dream, this way you will remember the dream details. Some interesting things I've noticed: 1) Many dreams have a narrative. It is like someone is telling you a story. You are one an adventure. A wake take you out to sea, you turn around you are in cafe, someone says something but you are looking for lost backpack... This is so strange. Who is making up the dream? It is the stream of consciousness James Joyce told us about. The brain has some natural story telling function. 2) Reoccurring dreams. This is another strange phenomena. Having the same dream over and over again. The same bizarre story over again. Unusual details repeating it self. 3) Dreams of people who are familiar in the dream but you don't know who they are. Somehow in your dreams you know these people, perhaps from a past life or an alternate reality. But you when you wake you have no idea who they are. 4) Super dreams. Now and then I will have a dream so detailed and intense, it is a wild phenomena and i wake up a slightly changed person.

Thank you so much for this video, with all of this in mind and also keeping in consideration that you are a neurosurgeon, what are your thoughts on the spiritual side on things I.e, do we or will we exsist outside of our bodies when you die? and along with this, how do we explain our conscious? I have so many questions to ask you haha!!

Great video! I dream every time I fall asleep and they are always extremely vivid. I can feel pain and smell. My friends always ask me about my dreams because they don’t dream like me. Is that normal? I even on a regular basis know that I’m dreaming and can control my dreams. Is there something wrong with me?

i never thought i would watch something like this but i kind of like it

Hey can you do a video on dbs or deep brain stimulation on what are the benefits or what are the cons not having the surgery but just curious

This is really interesting, and I love the way you explain things so a layperson can understand - thank you! In particular, the section on the right inferior frontal cortex when dreaming in 1st or 3rd person really interests me - is there anything significant found yet with the degree of which this section is hypoactive? For instance, if a person dreams in third person, but the person they see as themselves is not in anyway the same person as who they are in real life? Would this correlate to other activity (or inactivity) in other regions of the brain?

Hi Alex, is it correct that patients with dementia do not dream? Thanks Nick

I have a question, not directly related to dreaming but I think you’re the right person to help me with that. Most of the times I wake up tired and sleepy.. then I fall back asleep just to wake up even worse, felling extremely drowsy and fatigue... so drowsy that it’s hard to keep my eyes open... it’s painful and happens almost every day. Dr. do you have an explanation for this? Does this have to do with stages of sleep while waking up? Thank for the help Dr.

I want to be a neurosurgery nurse ☺️❤️ this is very interested ✨

I have a question for you. When i was a about 6 is when this started. When i am in a car the smaller the care worse . When i am on any flat road in a care the road starts to look like i am riding down a wall then it starts to look like every thing is upside down like riding on the bottom of the earth. Also the other thing that happens is when i wake up on my back my eyes try to roll back into my head it feels like your on a roller coaster going down the 1st big drop but not in my gut i get that in my head for about 5-7 seconds. I fight it when it happens. Also when i am just walking or standing i get the droping feeling in my head but my eye don't try to roll back. Sorry for the grammar. I would like it if you could give me any info at all opinion will work as well. I tried to go to doctors but they say it sounds like its a mental. Also i got Obama care just to try and get someone to help me but that did not work.

Where did you study for your medical course?

Fascinating. I'm sure in 30 years time we'll laugh at how we'd use large sensors to get a general idea of which part of the brain is active and compare it to putting a thermometer on the corner of a cpu to determine if it's running an application or idle. Someone needs to probe occipital lobe (visual cortex) with a few thousand nodes, figure out how to translate that to a crude meaningful 2D image, then see what happens when someone dreams. I'm sure the result of that will totally blow everyone's minds more so than landing on the Moon. The visual cortex seems like it could be a true window to our dreams.

in lucid dreams the prefrontal cortex is still active during REM sleep
