that is probably due to the fact that you have to experience real life though your 5 senses and a fixed point of view, whereas in dreams it is happening right in your mind and your point of view within a dream can be in multiple places at once

Triggered after an argument about whether we dream in colour I had a lucid dream, I took the time to study my surroundings. I was outdoors. The sky was a vivid cornflower blue. The detail of the scene was perfect in every detail and like UHD. In later life, often my dreams are of poor visual quality and poorly lit, possibly depression or something. One of my earliest and most amusing and profound at the same time, is where was in my front garden. I had an argument with my little kid friend where I was saying 'this is a dream', and he argued 'no, it isn't'.

@Joseph Luppens you can't ever definitively prove that. The brain would imagine so many scenarios while you dream it would be entirely likely to accidentally dream something that was vaguely like a "premonition" Also consider the tendency for the brain to look for patterns and find evidence that supports its beliefs. So its also easily likely that if you dream something that ends up coming true, you maybe didn't dream that exact thing, just something a bit like it onto which your brain projected the happenings thus making you think you dreamed of the future. There is no reliable way to tell the future. Not by reading dreams or any other pseudo-scientific divination tactic.

I dream every night and extremely vividly. So I am lucky because some people I know do not remember their dreams. I have many flying and travelling dreams. The best dream I have had was about 10 years ago. I recall being sort of in a sleep paralysis state where I was aware of my bed but also in the dream world..this is the absolute truth....the next thing I knew I was flying out of my body just like superman with my arms stretched out..I was flying over fields at night time..I even recognised the fields..I saw horses and sheep and as I flew down towards them they ran away as though they were aware of me approaching..I kept flying and I could feel my stomach tightening and turning just like when you travel fast on a roller coaster..I kept flying for some time and eventually I flew back into my bedroom and straight into my stomach area then I awoke suddenly.. I will never forget that dream and wonder if it was an illusion or some sort of separation of consciousness..who knows but I keep wishing for a similar dream to occur.

I have been astounded by a couple of my own dreams: people I had completely forgotten and who didn't mean much to me appeared in my dreams and made me realise the kind of person I have become after more than 40 years without once thinking about them. Very powerful. Very strange.

I'm truly mystified by people who believe that dreams are random brain activity or purely rehearsal but perhaps they do not have the so called "big dreams", i always have. I'm convinced they have a purpose and one broadly in line with the Jungian's idea of the Self. As pointed out here, not all dreams are "big dream" and many are mere rehearsal, but anyone who has experienced the rich symbolic language and creativity of dreams would be hard pressed to subscribe to the idea that there purpose can be explained solely on the level of brain activity.

Dreams could be "speaking" in a vivid symbolic/imaginative language that simply reveals aspects of your unconscious emotional life. They're merely a way to look into aspects of your personality which are not easily accessible to waking consciousness. That doesn't mean they have a purpose--i.e., that they're trying to communicate something to you.

One of the weirdest, and I'd say most important aspects of dreams, is the fact that we are "watching" them, i.e. experiencing them and reacting to them emotionally, but we do not have the same coherent memory of a dream as we do of waking experience. Why is that?

Real Life Strange: Enlightenment, I was in a state of enlightenment only for a few minutes twice in my entire life. Rivers of detailed information flew throw my brain, with details about everything and I understood why the wind blew and what direction it was going, why birds fly and their purpose, I was describing absolutely everything with lot's of details. the trees, the earth, everything communicating with each other. and interacting in their own ways. Past life: I just keep having those Djavu feelings thousands of times. a lot of them bring back memories of other lives where I was another person. Life is very difficult to understand, some people live on their own reality in a very strange way. the vast majority just lives on a very common ordinary life. we still have a lot to learn, this life is very strange and science is just beginning to understand.

Once, I had a dream and realised I was dreaming, but couldn't wake up even though I tried; it was horrible. Finally (~30seconds) I managed to wake by literally tearing my eyes open, upon this I noticed something interesting: the dream seemed to be being projected onto my eyelids VR style... The stark change of environmental setting was shocking and felt like teleportation. Oh and everything was mirrored --language and writing was all back to front.

One thing not mentioned in this fascinating video is the phenomenon that people tend to want to talk about their dreams with other people. They have a dream that they remember in their waking life, and it carries some emotional resonance that often compels them to want to talk about them with others. Even mundane “noise” dreams are often important enough for people to want to share them.

Perhaps it was a way of comforting you for your loss.

I find it really bizarre to have the exact same dream twice. It happens only a few times per year, but it could be two nights in a row, or days go by before the same dream occur again. Instinctively I assume that dream is more "important" than the rest, but I still haven't been able to make sense of them. Anyone else had the same dream more than once..?

Often, when I dream, part of my mind is actually analyzing the dream in a kind of hypervisory capacity so that when I wake I’m often aware of the deeper meaning of the dream. I’m wondering if anyone else dreams in this way as it often helps me to solve complex problems during my waking consciousness

But i had this same dream all my childhood up until i quit having it. Im sure you are aware of Past life aggression . But if not. Look in to it.

90% of my dreams happen when I fall back to sleep after I’ve woken up in the morning. So it’s like I wake up open my eyes for 2 or 3 minutes then fall back to sleep for no more than an hour sometimes less than 20 minutes but almost all my dreams happen in this period and I can remember some of them so vividly

At the end of a heavy dream there is a warm fuzzy feeling which erases the memory of the dream's content.

There are three gateways into consciousness, dreams, meditation and psychedelics. All are similar, but fundamentally different phenomena. When we meditate, we don't sense of conscious self, it's perception that's changing. This way allow us to experience finer structure of own living force, touch that place where our thoughts originate and explore all the way back up again, to a state of extreme sensitivity and sensual awareness. Dreams are kinda different, it's like we take world to a same sort of journey by letting our imagination to create whatever it desire and place us in a movie seat. That separation of holistic impression to imaginary self and lucid environment seems to be the most miraculous mechanism that exist in nature hardly anybody pay attention to. This could mean there is no self, it's something in our brain that call out that illusion, just like it can create observer inside observer and even make dream beings feel materially alive and full of emotional reactions. In reality, brain is all those entities at once, every little bit of dreams is produced and controlled by exactly same mechanism. And it never goes away, no matter what we do it will always project some sense of body, space, motion, light and conscious mind. How can energy do all that, project into alert observer and many personalities by creating illusion of physical existence at same time, where does all that energy and information come from, this should be possible to discover experimentally. For energy to flow, there must be difference between potentials of force. But if we back track source of those cellular potentials, it all come down to DNA molecules in cells core, since they are the origin of all cellular mechanics. Perhaps we need the third key to unlock entire fragment, how does psychedelic drugs make our dreams different, when dreams are hallucination in any case. What makes a difference, this is a weird question, people experience clear sense of conscious awareness, even when their dreams are stoned as *.

I'm an agnostic and I was trying to astral project as a stress reduction technique and I had an acquaintance that died several years back appear to me and ask me to tell his mom a message. I thought nothing of it I hadn't seen the the since I was about 9 yrs old and didnt see him before he died. I hadn't seen his mom in many years either. I didnt think any thing was significant about it. I simply wanted to have a lucid dream. Ended up crossing paths with his mom on his birthday which was unknown to me initially. It freaked me out. Another time I had a dead cop appear to me in a dream who was killed last year. And I was in front of his house and later confirmed with his wife that thos was their house as I hadn't known where they lived. He wanted me to tell her that he checks on her all the time. Little did I know she had been asking that question to him. It happens randomly to me. Although I will get a sense of openness about it before it happens. Sometimes I will see angry beings stuck in certain buildings and I will shut down to it again because that stuff freaks me out. These experiences are the only thing that keeps me a little interested in dreams. I get a picture almost like a stream of frequencies like a river that we basically plug into, and that this isnt a static connection but loose and not perfectly clear because it's always shifting. Focus and openness and intention I think play a role in it.

Hopefully part 2 touches on the latest from the field of Lucid Dreaming research, which to those whom have experienced it can be very powerful and life altering.

A really good episode. Thanks!

What I find interesting is my dreams usually reveal the atmosphere and mood....cloudy, sunshine, rain, snow, night or day. Its so intense. Often water is in my dreams and there is always emphasis on what kind of water and if it is blue, muddy, clear etc. I see colors, vivid greens, blues, red...like my dream wants me to pay attention to these details and remember them when I wake.....because I always do. The rest of the dream fades.

I am actually alive because of a psychic dream I had back in 2015. If it wasn't for that dream, I would of been shot on a street corner 2 weeks later.

I had two dreams where I lived an entire life span. Going to work everyday, too growing old. I experienced Free Will, and the lack of it. I actually felt awake, and experienced what felt like a real time reality. Years went by. Trying to Convince myself I was only dreaming was not making a difference. It was if I was in a Matrix with no way out. When I finally woke up, I was so relived, I had not grown old, and that my life was given a second chance. But parts of it, did come true anyway.

I used to have dreams about a consistent theme. In those dreams I was a visitor, invited by invisible hosts to learning centres in unfamiliar places, some with what looked like advanced technology and others like a version of our own time but different somehow. One morning I woke up with a visual memory of what I saw in the dream, and researched about it until I contacted a physicist, who confirmed that my idea for a quantum physics experiment to determine the individual masses of the three flavours of neutrinos was "a very clever idea", but also that we don't have the technology to perform the experiment "yet".

I dream and sometimes they forecast the future. I've also experienced that the good I become in my moral life the accurate those dreams become in predicting.

When I have ordinary dreams and remember them in the morning on waking, they are meaningless. Yet when I have lucid dreams I wake-up immediately after or during the dream and know what the dream is telling me, it always has a very specific purpose. How I know the meaning - I have no explanation for - all I know is that I am super awake and instantly clear thinking. Strangely the interruptions that follow these type of dreams do not correspond to the imagery in the dreams. I find these interruptions more fascinating than the actual dreams. These dreams have help me more than anything else to have paradigm shifts in my thinking that have greatly benefited my life. The things I learn from them, I would never have recognized as problems, issues or limitations in my life. They have also saved me from harmful situations I would have gotten into had I not had them.. These lucid dreams have a greater sense of reality, emotional intensity and sense of perception than anything I experience in real life, in ordinary dreams or nightmares. Sometimes they are of such a nature that they do not relate to what I would call ''earthly in nature'' or concept. I often can't describe them in words because there is no reference in my human experience that I can relate them to or vocabulary to describe the concepts or situations these dreams present. I reckon many people have these type of dreams, and I am interested to know about the research done on this topic.

For a brief period in my life I had a number of prophetic dreams. The events of my dreams would come to pass in the real world. Nothing of real consequence, just mundane things.

After being on crutches for 5 years, I had just started walking unaided again and had a very strange dream after going to sleep on my couch early in the morning. The dream started with me in my basement and I couldn't walk again. I crawled up the steps into the adjoining bedroom. It was very dark and a radio was crackling in the room. I realized I don't own a radio and said to myself this was a dream. I instantly woke up on my couch. After thinking about the dream for a bit, I got up to get some coffee and collapsed to the floor as my leg wasn't working again. I was horrified to not be able to walk again. I realized something was off and concluded I was still in the dream. I instantly woke up on my couch. I was skeptical now that I was actually awake. I looked around and noted it was dark outside, which required that my nap lasted 12 hours. I never nap that long and said to myself "I'm still in the dream". Instantly I woke up on my couch. It was daytime, everything seemed normal. I was finally really awake. A car drove past my window and I got angry that people were driving through my driveway again into my backyard. I walked into the back room to peer out the window. Sure enough there were 3 cars parked in my backyard. I was so sick of people parking there to go to that place across from my backyard. After my anger subsided, I remembered there's a forest behind my house. There is no place there, and nobody has ever drove through my yard .... Instantly I woke up on my couch. After some testing and thinking, i concluded this time I really was awake. I thought about this dream a lot over the coming days. I wondered if there wasn't a whole different person residing in my brain that defied my strong desire to exit that dream. They used trickery and deception to keep me in the dream against my will. For what purpose I'll never know. I think there's more to dreams than just electrical activity.

My experience of dreams is that they nurture new insights cobbled together to create new, clearer insights and new possibilities. Dreams are "where" we go when the brain lapses into sleep, quantum realities through which the Dreamkeeper dances a new dream for the people that can be reconstructed and danced in the physical world of awakened reality. Or. dreaming clears the playing field for shamanic dance that shifts or steers new versions of reality. I wrote about this in my first book, "Dancing A Quantum Dream."

I cannot stop involuntary lucid dreaming, so I clicked this video. Thanks. Just looking for a solution.

The holy Prophet pbuh said God takes our souls when we sleep at night, and returns them when we wake. To some He doesn’t return them, hence why they don’t wake up. Our bodies reach a temperature minimum at certain stages of deep sleep. Our souls are essentially traveling. There’s a concept of ‘Astral travel’ and the ‘astral realm’ which is pretty interesting. Interestingly enough we are said to secrete DMT when we sleep and when we die. Also interesting is Descartes take on the seat of the soul.

The third guy with the walking canes was the best, Chris, the whole show should have been with him.

Trippy video, well done. The most tripped out thing for me is @ 25:20, when all those black kids were holding hands by the water....so weird....

When I recently had food poisoning and I was at my illest, I was beginning to fall asleep but I was still awake and I instantly started to enter that dream state of my mind wandering and creating that definite random dream world for a split second.... but I WAS STILL AWAKE in between bouts of dreams. It was quite a nice feeling and it's not the first time in my life that's happened.

I’ve concluded that dreams are like a needle skipping hit and Miss over a record and the brain is trying to put the bits and pieces into a story that makes sense.

Love the subject. To me, dreams are like a sandbox. Our consciousness goes there when we are in REM sleep. It allows us to replay memories. It allows us to fantasize. It allows us to explain what might be. It allows us to express emotions. It tells strange, compelling, coherent & incoherent stories. I believe our dreams are the result of our conscious minds being limited by our brains during REM sleep.

Lucid dreaming obviously includes the brain's executive functions. Speak of this please.

i used to think that dreams must be about what the video is terming as psychoanalytic aspects. that dreams were about hidden frustrations, etc. but i dont think that any more. NONE of my dreams have any basis in reality. i dont rationalize about anything. whatever is, is. and none of my dreams have any truth value to them. in other words, i stopped trying to look at my dreams, and wonder if they are displaying something to me, that i wont admit to, etc. but i do find one thing about my dreams very interesting, and i am wondering if anyone else has experienced this ? i have talked to a friend about dreaming, not any particular dream. i dont recall many dreams. so i dont know just how much i actually dream ? but there have been a few times when i will come into my dream, and say "now remember to tell my friend about this". when i do this, i can clearly remember the dream, or at least that part of it that i was supposed to tell my friend. the really weird thing is that i experience 2 distinct persons when this happens. the person that comes into my dream and tells me to remember IS NOT the person that is experiencing the dream. it is me, when i am awake. i think it is an important clue towards understanding consciousness. but i dont know what to make of it.

I had a dream one time. In the dream I was in a car moments before a collision. I remembered that dream. It was very vivid and I remember someone said " are we going to make it?" It ended just before the impact. In all it was about 10 seconds worth of time. Three months later it happened. It was exactly as the dream. Moments before the collision I began recognition it was happening exactly as my dream yet I knew someone would say "are we going to make it. ( Approaching an intersection in the evening as the traffic light turned yellow with a car turning left from the opposite direction.) I think I said the words. Anyway, that all baffles me to this day.

I had a dream about one of my employees years ago that still makes the hair on my arms stand up. She was a really pretty girl with a big smile. In the dream it was just a split second where she looked at me with her big smile and said, Im almost there. The next day I found out she had died in a tragic accident that night. That was almost 15 years ago and I can still see it as if it was a real encounter that happened yesterday.

Ever since I got HPPD from doing too much LSD I dream every single night and for the most part it is always coherent and a narrative that makes sense. They are also beyond vivid and I cannot in the moment of the dream realize it is a dream. Which is unfortunate because I have only been able to become lucid a few times by accident. Usually from my experience of dreaming every night I've been keeping a mental note of how everything flows for me especially the transition or absence of the transition into lucidity. It all comes down to a single moment within the experience and the moment always just feels like something breaking and all of a sudden you know you are in a dream. Afterwards the first thing I can remember always doing is just trying to think about real life memories from the day before or just bringing in knowledge from the real life that I could use in the dream. Saying something that I had recently learnt to either progress the narrative of the dream or trying to convince a mental projection of someone in the dream that WE are in a dream. It is honestly really amazing and it adds another whole layer to the enigma that is existence and conscious being.

Being aware of dreaming might happen occasionally, but it's also something you can learn, it takes daytime practice and motivation. You can find some good teaching online and in books, I'm thinking of Andrew Holecek, for example, or Robert Waggoner.

@@st.armanini9521 I almost don't really care to become lucid which is the thing. I know if I made habits of doing different things that reminded me I'm awake and conscious, over time it would transcend into my dreams. In the movie inception they have something close to them that they will always keep on them to remind themselves they are awake. In the dreams they will often act differently. (top will spin forever) Stuff like that that will make you realize, "wait.. this isn't how it should be." You can get that feeling from a different variety of different things and could even happen by accident. You are right though it is a skill you have to hone some how. The dreams I have are always amazing and surprise me the level of detail and intricacy that goes into them. Literally this alone makes me think there is so much more to consciousness than we could truly ever imagine. Life itself is the most abstract thing that is normalized within our world view. I find myself thinking every single day why or how it is even possible for there to be anything at all, let alone sentient beings like us. It is more outlandish of an idea for this all to be just a random coincidence, rather than us realizing we are the embodiment of what many of us would call "God".

When I used to bet on the horses I once dreamt about a particular horse, of which I was already aware, winning a race. The horse in question happened to be running the next day. So I backed it. It finished down the field. The episode taught me more about the psychology of gamblers than about the nature of dreams.

Thank you so much! So many question explored! Tom Campbell whit is "My Big Toe" trilogie have captivated my curiosity about the nature of everything like no one else. It may be an interesting direction to explore...

You can easily be conscious in them. Feels better than anything in life when you do.

I suffer from tonic clonic seizures multiple times a day and I got goosebumps when I heard you say the connection between dreams and epilepsy because I have those feelings just before I have a seizure sometimes I call it aura I have no health insurance no way to get help from my epilepsy 😩 Nobody to talk to about it nobody can relate to nobody who understands the things that I go through I'm lost in this world that I have no clue I've only had seizures since

Almost as weird as reality.

dreams are our subconscious delivering messages in symbolic language. If I really think about my dreams I can interpret the meaning.

"Dream" is just a word we humans use to describe what we thought was happening. But actually. A "dream" is just our spirit traveling the astral. Subconsciously unaware. Until we train ourselves. Meditate.

Maybe it's desirable that we don't remember all of our dreams. If entire dreams went to memory, we might take the memories of dreams as real events.

It's not impossible to put together a understanding of what dreams are , it's actually very simple . The biggest question is who is the author.

Have to disagree with the discussion of nightmares. The essence of a nightmare is fear - a reflection of fear regarding one’s vulnerability in life: fear of being attacked physically or socially. I had dreams of being attacked by monsters, and woke several times from them. I made up my mind that I should not fear them, being dreams, and needed to stand up to the “monster”. When I did so in my dream (it was a luckd dream since I remembered it the next day) the monster disappeared and did not return. I think this carries over psychologically into real life as well. I still have dreams involving fights (especially after violent movies) but always fight back and never run. Haven’t died in a dream yet!

I've had dreams where I figured out a problem I was having in real life. Like fixing the plumbing type stuff.

You should do a whole episode on lucid dreaming. Remember, it is not a lucid dream unless you are aware you are dreaming while you are dreaming. Many people get confused on that point. Seems many scientists just dismiss them. People who are lucid dreamers can tell you they are dreaming while they are dreaming. Even while lucid dreaming I will do something stupid, like, I will put this in my pocket so when I wake up I will have it!

Dreams are a necessary and important part of our lives. It's a way to reconcile us (concious) with us(subconcious). Last night I had some "unreal" looking dreams. In one of these, a sort of sphere planet like looking spacecraft arrived on our earth. The occupants of the space craft where dressed in "futuristic space military suits" and warned us to stay inside. Covid-19 is something we didn't see coming and it often seems unreal at times, it forces us to stay imside as much as possible. Anyway, weird brain stuff.

Love these videos!

Being asleep, appears to also put to sleep our 'conscious intentional control of our reality', the ego/free will, that tries to control our physical situations when we are awake, which also inhibits our human creativity. Those who remember their dreams tend to be caught up in the story, however, what dreams fundamentally represent is that the human mind senses an 'energy convergence system' that generates images, thoughts, emotions, sounds and other sensations while we're asleep, also that there is sense for the 'energy of randomness', since there is a random nature to the dreams. Additionally, dreaming reveals the relationship from the "minds eye" reference point, to the "experiences" happening in front of us (kinda like we do when we are awake watching TV or a play on a stage, or participate in, daily life). So what dreams fundamentally represent to me, is that it (the dreaming mechanism) is revealing our "creative mind", a sense that is fundamentally a part of all us whether we remember, asleep or not. So CONSCIOUSNESS, ego/free will, that tries to control our physical situations when we are awake, inhibits our dream center/human creativity, but the dreaming mechanism is fundamentally always there, waiting to be revealed.

Not only in my opinion, dreams are very important and usually reflect ones inward fears and desires. They help arrange what you hear and see over a very long period into your subconscious and place them where they are ready accessed for your conscious mind. When you wake your brain sees the dream as a mass of scattered images and puts them together randomly forming the dream. Freud believed dreams represented a disguised fulfilment of a repressed wish. He believed that studying dreams provided the easiest road to understanding of the unconscious activities of the mind. In saying all of this, I believe whole heartedly, that some people have “insight” in their dreams but that’s another debate.

one of the oddest things about dreams is if you see faces in a dream they are only faces that we have seen in your daily lives and others are faceless and you can't draw a face to that indevidual your dealing with in the dream.

I don't think we're meant to remember dreams which is why except for the most vivid and emotional, they're mostly forgotten soon after. I don't think brains can just be turned off for sleeping which is why the brain conjures up something to do while we're sleeping, hence dreams. More interesting than dreams, to me, is how consciousness can apparently be switched off and then back on again.

I have these recurring dreams where someone pulls a gun on me, and I attempt to go for my gun and shoot them first, but when I draw it out and go to aim/pull the trigger it becomes super slow motion and it’s simultaneously occurring with the feeling of absolute dread and terror in realizing I’m not going to get to it in time and am going to die right then. And right when that terror realization hits its peak, I wake up.

I'm guessing the "cleaning process" is an accurate reason behind why we dream. For me, it seems to be useful for just a small mood-pickup in the morning when I do remember the dream. (if the dream is good of course). The few nightmares I have, I seem to shrug off easily as "just a dream" luckily, but the good stuff seems to just be a nice pick-me-up. On a couple of occasions I have woken up exhausted after trying to solve a problem for what feels like hours, and oddly, shortly after, I solve the real world issue I was dreaming about.

I lucid dream so I have an different perspective on dreams. After spending hours each night with your waking consciousness available, walking around in a 3D reality interacting with “people” eating food attending concerts, walking around in buildings in different times, you understand that the movie Inception was pretty Lise to reality.

All I know is that if my dreams have any meaning, I am fucked up!

I still do not know who I am and my dreams do not help to reveal it. Yet I have obsession of being lost and not to be able to return home. But it is useless in real life. Twice in my life I have found in dreams the solution to engineering problems. One quite complicate. Dogs too, have hunting dreams...

I think that dreams, especially bad dreams is the venting of the subconscious mind when disturbing real life issues are ignored, or not dealt with. You might say that this is the subconscious brain's release mechanism of negative energy.

I'm thinking the hippocampus *addresses* memories rather than contains them. It would be involved in playback by issuing the appropriate *series* of addresses. Address in a Control Systems fashion would be by driving function.

@@kaielvin Maybe it wasn't obvious, but I just found his sad anecdote to be hilarious. Dreams don't have to come "true" in order to serve a purpose. There have been brain experiments done on sleeping mice, after they were placed in a maze. Their brain signals fire the same patterns that they did in the maze, showing that they are recalling and reinforcing ideas / solving problems while they dream. So yes, your reality is shaping your dreams, but this shapes your subconscious, helping you approach and understand your world. If you're interested in that brain experiment on mice, I saw it in the following talk: kzread.info/dash/bejne/paiMyqmGhq3boaQ.html

I was taking this pretty seriously until you interviewed Patrick McNamara. He is laugh out loud funny!

Dreams are an essential part of our life that's why we have them : because we can't understand the mechanism we cannot brush them aside as irrelevant ! Transitions between waking state to dream state to deep sleep and to and fro reveal the link of consciousness that is always existing : that is what needs to be explored : perhaps EEG patterns and fMRI/ efMRI patterns need to be studied carefully and exhaustively : transformations happening of the neurochemical transmitters during various phases of sleep could lead to clues to get a better picture . Psychophysiological studies of the brain cannot be ignored either !

Dreams are random brain activity. Last night I dreamed I moved into a shared apartment and spent an hour discussing which room would be mine. The other two guys were friends of mine that my brain made up out of nothing.

I wish u can make some series about Carl Jung , where he explained dreams in the most proper, deep and meaningful ways

I enjoy these Closer to Truth videos very much. He takes a very balanced approach when he explores the concepts and some of the opinions I agree with, others I do not. For instance, I disagree with the gentleman who discussed nightmares. It sounded to me like he is making some sweeping generalizations and this stuff about having your identity devoured is quite a bit different from nightmares I have had. No demon, bad guy, or whatever, has ever tried that and while I have had instances of being chased by strangers that doesn't happen every time. And I have had recurring nightmares but they're not progressive the way he makes them out to be. I don't know, maybe I misunderstood the point he was making and maybe there is more to what he had to say on the topic that didn't make into the video but I think he is drawing conclusions to a topic where, in my estimation, conclusions cannot be drawn. There is just too much variety and each person is too unique to make definitive statements in the way he did. But that's just me. Interesting video all the same.

I want to know why some dreams are reoccurring. Why some people dream much more complexly than others and why do some people have synchronicities like predictions and such.
