I'm just thinking of questions as I listen so forgive me if you have covered this I am 45mins in...I'm curious there is some research to suggest that the heart has its own brain I wonder what significance this has to dreaming if any? Thank you for your work and for sharing it
When I was pregnant, my doctor said my belly was big because I had a baby and a tumor, but I said in my dreams my other baby is telling me he is not a tumor! So I went to another doctor and got a sonogram and there he was my other baby! His heart rate was very low but it was twins not a tumor! They were also in the same sac which is rare and very high risk. The one with the low heart rate was a problem according to the doctors and they wanted to abort him, but I did not because I knew through my dreams both babies were talking to me and one twin would kick the other so his heart rate would go up. I signed papers so they could share this case because it was really unbelievable. You could watch them during a sonogram play this out. Anyway my dreams changed the direction of my pregnancy! My twin boys are 23yrs old now, I am VERY blessed!❤😊
I can confirm that there is definitely communication on a deep level between the mother and the child. I too saw my daughter and her features before she was born and she is exactly as I knew her through the dreams during that pregnancy. Uncanny.
I am totally blind, and some of my favorite dreams are when I can see, and I can walk through forest and run through parks and browse bookstores without any assistance from anyone. I love being able to dream about being able to see
That’s amazing , I wonder if the images you see in your dreams is different or the same as what the average “seeing” person sees ( if that makes sense )
Try dreaming about flying your own personal craft. Just ask for it before you go to sleep. It’s the landing part that takes practice. No worries. You got this. 💫🤩
@@Skala76 that’s a really good question, I could see until I was 26 and I think my dreams are much more vivid after I lost my vision, but of course this is just my own personal experience between dreaming with vision and dreaming without vision. Thanks for your reply.🦋
I woke up laughing uncontrollably, total church giggles with my brother, one of the best dreams I'd ever had. I don't know when I realized I was dreaming, but my abdominal muscles shuddering with laughter woke me up. I reached out for my phone to call my brother. I had to know, what was so funny? What were we laughing about? He'd be able to help me tease it apart I had my phone unlocked and was dialing before the kaleidoscope of reality slivered into my brain My brother passed away 4 years ago But what a gift that dream was! He and I were in the same space at the same time again, it was so real, so tangible It was as though he was telling me 'it's OK to laugh again.' We need The Funny in our lives.
I had a similar dream talking to my sister ( deceased 4 years ago). It was a dream in a dream, and when I woke up I was trying to remember where we had gone. I literally thought it had happened. When I realized it was a dream, I cried when the meaning became abundantly clear. I just sobbed.
I lost my partner 8years ago & l continue to have dreams where we are together & being intimate which l mean in the sense of the intense loving emotions l feel in the dream & l feel everything that l felt while he was alive. In these moments l take them that l we are still connected in the love we shared together 💔💭🫶🏼They feel incredibly special & so real!! So sorry for your loss 💔
I had a dream that I was able to hug my son again. I'm so grateful for dreams I really am. I woke up sobbing but it was so nice to have my son back in my arms again.
I had this dream about my best friend. I understand it’s not the same but for me to be able to hug my best friend again was incredible. I also was crying when I woke up.
@AnonYmous-vu1lw it's not depression, just dreams are usually adventurous, have no accountability, are magical and not at all practical. Instead of watching a fantasy film, you're in it.
My dreams are so detailed. Nothing I can relate to in my awakened life. It’s like watching a movie. I love to go to sleep and dream. Sometimes I wonder if it’s another life I’m in.
There is so much symbolizing in dreams, use your common sense in figuring out meanings, like if your driving in your dream, or is someone esle? Usually means whether you feel you have control in your life, etc.
I have dreams where I can fly. It is the most vivid dreams and when I wake, I can actually feel what it was like to fly. All my flying dreams, I feel liberated, free, and just so light. It is truly an amazing feeling that I just can't explain.
I read somewhere once that the flying dream takes a certain level of mastering ☁️🐦 I remember this person feeling very proud and accomplished. Not everyone can finesse it, and I hear it feels amazing! Generally I think the idea is that you know how to let go and trust the universe and have enough confidence, faith, and connectedness with the universal consciousness. You're in a good place mentally, spiritually, and physically. You have peace within and around you and it radiates from you As u walk in your truth! ❤
Yes!! I loved those dreams! I was scared but I started seeing an actual area from above although I never had seen them that way so it was fascinating... Id wake up so happy....
Shortly after my mom died i had a dream she came to visit me. She was wearing her favorite dress and asked me to look after my sister. About 6 months later i was with my dad, brothers, and sister and mentioned the dream, but only the part about her standing at the end pf my bed in the dress. All of them immediately said they had the same dream and they gave more details...all of which were the same as what i didn't tell them about mine. We were all in a bit of shock that we all "dreamed" the exact same thing.
I’m always fascinated at how, within a dream, my brain can conjure up the faces and personalities of new people I’ve never seen or met before in real life.
I’ve thought about this too. I woke up crying cause I met a grandmother/matriarch type of family member that I loved sooo much. And in my dream I knew she wasn’t real and I woke myself up from crying in my sleep about it. So odd.
@@scarletts4221 I hope there’s truth to all of this dream stuff. Because I also dreamt of a white tiger once. I wasn’t scared of it. It gave ne a vibe like we were friends. And i wished I could go back to sleep and see that again too.
Apparently you can't dream about faces you never saw. The brain just collects more Data then we can remember concious and it keeps stunning me too. Even intimate dreams are so detailed >
There are people who are born blind that claim that they're dream's contain visual content. This makes me come to the conclusion that we are more than just a body, that we are spiritual beings. And our consciousness goes beyond the physical body.
@@woodcutterdave7835 Hi Dave, I believe we are not just spiritual beings but are actually pure energy. Otherwise, why are we salt based? Nothing conducts electricity better than salt water! When what people refer to as the soul leaving the body after death, in my opinion, is your energy amassing in the brain just as it prepairs to propel you towards your next destination. It would also help our neurologist,rahul Jandial. understand why the brain activity is so massive on his vital signs monitor, even though the heart has been stopped for several minutes. He is absolutely correct that it’s the brain disconecting from our shell. The only difference between his theory and mine is that I think the persons spirit is packing up to move on, not to die. I would like to talk more about this when I have more time. Just to be clear, I’m not religious, I have no agenda, and I’m not a nut job. I think this is string theory on steroids!
@@verygrateful007 It Says he dreams vividly and sometimes in color. It is possible for your brain see things that your eyes cannot. It takes work to realise what an object feels like, looks like, and wbere it might be in your daily life. So why can’t a sightless person dream of things whilst knowing their description,colour,placement? A blind from birth person may not see colours the same way as a sighted person, but so what?
A few months after a medical termination due to abnormalities.. I had a dream that the funeral directors had taken out the tiny white coffin and put it next to another coffin the same and said they would put both back in the same grave... 2 weeks later I found out I was pregnant again... Forward 5 months I had to have another termination due to same genetic abnormalities... Day before the burial the funeral directors called and said if I wanted to bury the second baby in the same grave plot as there was only one space left! My dream played out months in advance!! P. S. I had a healthy baby boy the following year who is now 21yrs old
I had a similar situation, had to have a termination, I was distraught over it. Dreamt that same night, that I had the baby and gave him to my sister. See in my dream the baby was a boy. My sister was 38 and never conceived. Two months later she was pregnant, then gave birth to twin boys.
@@KLTer-jo9jy no not at all... I forgot about the dream and only remembered it a few weeks after the second burial and was shocked when I realised how significant that dream had been.
❤ I had a precognitive dream when I was 8, that played out when I was 50. (The memory of it stuck because it was terrifying.) Now, at age 69, I continue to marvel at the phenomenon. So glad you've got your son. 🎉
I love that view on dreaming. I saw my grandmother last week in a dream. She passed nearly 20 years ago. She told me my future partner is in Poland lol. We're Polish
When I was in highschool I was taking Geometry. For homework we had to construct a proof every evening. I would stare and stare at the problem and the theorems, etc. for an hour or two, but I never could construct the proof at night. I would go to bed and sleep, and, when I woke up, I would know the proof which I had to quickly write down. I LOVED this magical process and I was astounded by it; it tickled me! I've tried to remember to use it as I've gone through my life. I'm 78 1/2 now.
@@joannabreaks435 Yes, beautiful and seamless (and, I would say, reliable), but, in fact, it is "bulkier" than logic as a process. I didn't have logic at that time - I was a 14yr. old girl in America's mid-century culture for goodness sake! What I have observed about this sub-conscious process vs. logic is that when you figure something out with logic, there is an "aha!" or "eureka!" moment as the "mechanism" clicks into place. With this, sub-conscious process, I looked at the problem again and had an "oh yes, of course!" moment as if I already knew the answer (which I did) and was just cleaning up the mess and putting things back in their correct places. That's the way it is for me, anyway. I love the way Rahul Jandiah is careful to label things as "data" or "theory/conjecture". It helps.
Anyone else have the same dream where your back in university and fall behind on your courses and fail and just feel so lost and stressed ? Only to wake up and remember you graduated uni 15 years ago 😮💨 😅
My gosh yes! I have had the same type of dreams. In a university, skipping class, falling behind, getting overwhelmed, about to fail. Many variations of this same scenario. I did, unfortunately, play this out in real life although I did overcome this problem eventually and graduated from college. I believe it’s subconscious guilt resulting from wasting opportunities and money. Don’t have these dreams as often now so I assume my subconscious is working it out.
Three months ago, I had a dream. I'm from India and a veterinary doctor. I received an acceptance letter from a prestigious university in the USA for a PhD program. I had never been to the USA before. One night, I dreamt that I was shot by gunfire in a church in the USA. The dream was so detailed that I could feel the pain and stress. In the dream, I was praying in that church, which is ironic because I am not a Christian. Two weeks later, I received news that I was no longer accepted to the university due to funding issues. Usually, one would feel sad, but I felt relieved.
@@tammyw2368 I don't know in that dream i am having a white crystal rosary and i am praying to mother mary.The Altar was so beautiful full of white marbles.I am reciting the mother mary something i can't recollect. when i got shot by gunfire i was outside the church in the pavement. i could feel the pain i have felt. I am not christian and I don't know the prayers. but i felt it was real. i think in my life i may convert. i don't know.
I Love, and am so grateful for this topic. I’m 51 and I am still able to recall dreams from over 40 years ago as a child. These were dreams different from so many thousands of others, specifically because of the way they made me feel. They affected me very emotionally, literally taking me, or flying me to places in my life where the brain knew I was happiest. My brain while dreaming consistently returned me to favorite childhood locations, grocery stores, sidewalks, parks, in and around my childhood homes, neighborhoods. This happens all the time.
I literally dream so vividly every single night that I feel like I live a whole extra life...I am always so tired as I never get "time off ". I related to that show ' Severance' so much!
A couple months ago I was visiting my cousin in Chicago and we were basically stoned the entire time. Chicago is a very different world than where I live (suburbia Texas) so everything felt dream like. One night we were driving past downtown under a strawberry moon and it suddenly occurred to me that one of the keys to unlocking the mystery and purpose of life is a very simple child's song. "Row row row your boat gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream." I've been studying Buddhism a lot lately, and what I have come to understand is that our lives are like a dream of a greater cosmic consciousness, so it is best lived mindfully, like you're rowing a boat gently down a stream, rather than getting caught up in the turbulent waters of drama, hate, violence, competition. All that to say that I believe this life is another dream, and that our dreams more accurately represent the expansive conscious experience of our higher, immortal selves.
This was interesting. I started keeping records of my dreams when in my early to mid 20s. I started having the most incredibly emotional dreams that were so upsetting and real that it took me days to get over them. The dreams themselves varied, but they all had the same message warning me of a death that happens when I am 38yrs old. So, I met my partner in highschool. We didn't get together until we we were 24 years old. Both born the same year and month, but I am 10 days older than him. Fast forwarding to September 2024, both of us were 38 years old. My partner woke up one morning with something wrong with his left eye. We went to the hospital, he was admitted and 1 week later, and multiple amount of tests, he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer, that had spread to his Brain, Liver, and Spine. He was told the likelihood of him making past Christmas last year is extremely unlikely. He fought as long and hard as he could. We had our 15 year anniversary on the 12th September this year, and he passed away on the 19th of September. Exactly 1 year later, to the day he was diagnosed.
I have adhd (late diagnosed) and I've always had epic vivid dreams. I see people who've passed and it's so real it's like they are back. I can remember dreams too, I recall some being like 4 years old
Me, too! My dreams are so epic and involved that even in my 40’s, the details of my dreams really stay with me, sometimes they effect my day. 3 out of ten times may be lucid dreams. I never seriously considered a link between my “other life” and my adhd. Makes sense. 🤷🏾♀️
When my Mother died years ago now I was devastated 💔 I had this what I decribe as a waking dream most vividly I saw her waving at me outside the coronary care unit where she'd died she looked so happy and it was like magically soothing for me .
When my mother died I was asleep 300 kms away. I dreamed my sister, me and my mum were in the front seat of a car my mum was driving. Then she started leaning on me and the car steered off the road. I said to my sister “mum is dead” and I woke up very calm - and learned when Morning came she had in fact died at the same time as my dream.
I had a dream my baby daddy was cheating on me with a girl on Instagram. The next day, i was on Instagram and saw that he had been talking to a girl on their.
I've had dreams of foreboding things to happen. I also dreamed that someone died and then 3 hours later they were gone. It's scary but also like peaceful because the dream already prepared me for it. It's crazy
I often wonder if we are tapping into an alternate reality. Like looking through a window and seeing our lives unfold in varying dimensions we exist in.
I totally believe so! But i think that the doctors didn’t want to go that route. Only talked about things that could be proven. There is so much more spirituality to physicality. i wish they also talked about pineal gland and DMT.
I had a dream that my dog was in the middle of a busy road and in danger of being hit, then i woke up. Later that day she got out of our yard (this never happened before) and she ran up the road into traffic. She almost got hit like in my dream but thankfully the car stopped in time. We got her home safe. But i was shocked how accurate my dream was! Our brains are more powerful than we know.
That is odd. When I got my dog at first (rescue) I became really attached to her and I had a dream that she had an accident and was split down the middle on the inside, but not the outside, hard to explain. Eventually that wee dog died of pancreatic cancer and I remembered the dream when she was lying on my knee at the vet looking like she did in that dream.
I had a dream as a teenager that I was almost hit by a car and the whole scenario played out in real life and because of the dream I was able to warn the people in our car to get out of the way.
The last part of the broadcast was a very powerful moment. Makes me think about all the people thst died alone during covid. No one was there to comfort them or to hold their hands one last time😢
Yes, the same for me. I was in heart ache many times over not allowing loved ones to be by the dying persons side. We lost 8 family members 2018-2020..some young, most older. The last funeral before lock down was March 7th. All of our family ( other than the cousin who drowned)...we shared being with family, and one of us or more, were with them as they died. I looked back at those poor people without anyone, and felt it was the worst of all injustices that government mandated. Sinful, immoral, shameful and heartbreaking. Still, my sister and Mom were so fearful via government propaganda, they refused to let anyone see them. We got there 1 day before Mom died. Those who grieved without that goodbye have a whole different process to let their loved one go. ❤
My dreams tell me what's going on, what will happen tomorrow, tells me when someone dies. Sometimes they're exact and I literally live my dream the next day, other times it's more cryptic and it makes sense later on.
I have been to houses that I call home and I keep going back and I recognize my own room, the bathroom, the backyard, only in my dreams. I call them home with a passion ❤️
As a teacher I've learned to introduce a decision that needs to be made (art teacher, so creativity) days in advance so kids can "think on it" but in my own life, it's really "dream on it". Our brain needs a night or two to chew on any problem
I've dreamed about maths, physics, etc. All my life, but I remembered one time, when i was 20 years old, at university, when i went to sleep after failing to solve a differential equation. I dreamed about the problem and solved it in my dream, i woke up and did it on paper and it worked!! That has been one of the moat surreal experiences with my dreams.
Love how he distinguished vivid dreams from the drug enhanced state, the warning 15 years in advance of brain disease; the last part about death brought me to tears! Really beautiful
I just figured everyone had dreams knowing they were dreaming while in the dream.But I dream things before they take place in life .. that I knew was a gift .Unfortunately, it is mostly when something unfortunate is about to happen. I have dreamed about someone I haven't seen in a long while..then I see them or they call me .I have many dreams that I know are messages to my awake life .Sometime dreams are so real. I think we could actually be traveling through worm holes to another reality.
Yes, it has been posited that we live many lives simultaneously across time, and time is a persistent illusion, which explains why so many of us dream of the future. It's actually very common, but yes some seem to be more adept than others. If we dream of an alternate life there is a chance to help 'each other' in our soul growth.
@@deniseoverbey6611 I believe that when we leave this earth, there are many more dimensions and lives to live. We don’t really die but cast off a used shell or shed our body in order move forward.
All my troubled dreams are about extreme frustration; can’t reach someone to save them, can’t get attention for help, etc. Paying attention to dreams can be very revealing.
Me too always can’t do something whatever I do . Can’t find my shoes when someone is waiting for me in the driveway . Can’t find my way out of a building etc It always wakes me
I had a dream about my mother where she was not fully clothed. She was in my backyard. She was on the ground sitting on her side… it was so vivid I could not shake it off. I took FMLA and traveled from Georgia to her in California. This was around the time of Covid. As soon as I set foot in her home, I realized that my dream was a true message. Few weeks later she had to have surgery for colon cancer. All praise be to God, it has been almost five years now, she made it through. I have never acted on a dream prior to that.
I dreamed of my late grandfather twice, and on both occasions he was in a gray field with blue skies and it was soooo peaceful, wished I could stay forever 😭
Anyone else have reoccurring dreams, about surviving, stratigizing, and outsmarting scenarios of alien invasions, tornados, and apocalypse... teeth falling out, can't run, can't find my car, problems trying to use my cellphone, can't get to food or vivid eating, being able to double jump like Mario Bros, 😊driving off a cliff, and a weird, particularly distinct house that I've never seen in this life before... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've also had accurate prediction or premonition dreams... or having to go to sleep in my dream in order to wake up in "real" life...👀🤔
Yes to all! The premonition dreams - I have had what I know now are full on warnings of dangerous situations to come - unfortunately I didn't always take heed - and had to live in horror as my dream came true. They don't make much sense until it happens.
Yes, indeed! And the thing that blows my mind is that not everyone is having these kinds of dreams; also, not to neglect the dreams where everyone is relying on you to do something or some interesting person or group gives you advice and interacts with you - all while blending various known environments into novel environments. It’s always terrible when it’s the series of nightmares, though.
When I was a kid, I could pick what I wanted to dream about. It was like a picture rolladex. I also learned to wake up when I had to go to the bathroom.
I could do that well into my twenties. Then, for some reason, I stopped. I had forgotten that. In my twenties, I think I started awake dreaming, but that takes a lot of concentration to get it started, and only lasts a short time before the brain takes over and forces sleep. I'm now 76. I think I'll try it again.
I had a pregnancy termination due to major complications a few years ago and the days leading up to and just after it, I had dreams of the after where all the souls were passing through the underworld to meet with Anubis. He was standing above, looking down and watching the crowd of souls make their way to his meeting point, then he looked straight down at me and held eye contact for a few seconds before I woke up. That was the most crazy deam I'd had in years.
I LOVE THIS. It’s so wonderful to hear more scientists/doctors speaking about traditionally “mystical” things from a scientific lens. Because there’s such a stigma around beliefs or ideas surrounding anything “magical” within science.
Sometimes after a very stressful day, if I can take a 5 min rest, I close my eyes and I'm almost asleep, I have a fast-flasing montage of random images and thoughts with words. Then I "wake up" and feel better. I refer to this state as sorting out my mental filing cabinet. Like a defrag. It's interesting!
When my daughter was very young she had strep throat over and over again. Every time she had the infection she would have night terrors. Once she had her tonsils out, the strep infection ended, and so did her night terrors. This talk was so interesting, and can see how the brain, or your dreams are trying to tell you something is wrong.
Has anyone else dreamed about a place, over and over until you recognized it in your dreams and knew your way around? A place you have never laid eyes on? It's like an alternate reality and I don't want to wake up...
I lucid dream EVERYNIGHT, it's not something I learned how to do, I just do it... but I don't dream reg off the wall dreams, I dream as if I'm in a parallel universe, I'm in my town , I have a job, frineds, I go out every sat night... it's crazy... I dont have a job in real life, or friends , or anything like that lol..I would really love to find a Dr that could scan me and fig out what's going on...I've learned how to recognize and stay in my lucid dreams... everything tastes really good, my body feels really good... I do feel pain...and other things in my body... I go to sleep in my dreams, and wake up in another dream, and play in that dream for a bit...this is so fascinating to learn about!!
I lucid dream as well, it’s so fun! I have also gotten better at waking from a bad/boring dream and telling my brain to stop it and find something better 😂 and then I have a much better dream
I’m very similar, been doing this since I was about 8yo. I can control my dreams, they’re extremely vivid, sometimes I can’t tell if I’m still dreaming once I wake up. I also remember them every night. Also get sleep paralysis a LOT and can bring it on myself cuz I know certain things that create it after having it for so long. Basically, it’s as if I don’t actually get any sleep cuz my brain just doesn’t shut off and I often wake up more tired than when I went to bed cuz my dream was so active and exhausting lol
Me, too! It doesn’t happen all the time, but I have become quite familiar with certain aspects. I even have a house I like to go to. I remember things from last time and they just happen. If things get funny, I even have a place to hide (I can’t always control everything, sometimes nightmares sneak up in me…lol). I wish I could draw. This place is so real to me, I almost feel silly. I watched some show about cutting edge brain scanning technology which is trying to “record” images from dreams. The man actually showed a recording of a dream that had colors moving around…almost vaguely in a humanesque motion. It didn’t look like much, but the implications nearly knocked me out of my chair. Could you IMAGINE someday being able to show someone your crazy ass dream like a YT video?!!
What if, it’s your second life. I’m a parallel universe. When you sleep here, you are awake there and vice vasa. Try to get dates and look at the stock market it could help your life here. That would be so cool
I don’t remember having a nice dream. I am constantly terrorised by violent nightmares, (school shootings, terrorist attacks, etc) and I am always the victim in those dreams. After one year in therapy I found out that this is because I carry a lot of anger in me, and having intrusive thoughts about something horrible happening to me or people I love. I’m working on it now. 😊 this is a great episode. Thank you
I had anxiety dreams when young. Never nightmares. Dream reveal our emotions to us - life long. Pay attention to how dreams make you feel. They tell us about our daily emotions.
@@ainenilaoire Also strangely enough, eating bananas. I don't recall the active ingredient but it can lead to more vivid dreaming than you might like. I find magnesium at night helps a good night's sleep. Doctors don't study nutritional medicine much and it's a missed opportunity IMO.
I really respect someone who actually shows how grateful he is that he has the some privileges that others don't he is always thankful. He constantly recognizes these wonderful lil things in life we all take advantage of. I will try everyday to repeat my blessing and being thankful for everything
I had brain surgery 22 years ago. Two nights ago I dreamt I was experiencing brain surgery. I was aware of those doing their best to do good work. I don't think I've ever slept so deeply. I felt completely rested upon waking. I wonder why it took so long for me to redream that surgery. I can only presume that it was a good dream, implying that something is finished. It's a completion dream and positive. I think that I intuitively understand the psychological meaning. ❤ Dreams are magic. I've been studying my dreams for 50 years.
Wow! I had brain surgery 22 and half years ago and since then, I have been so good with my health so far. Thanks to the grace of the Almighty. I dream a lot , but not good in interpreting them.
"Epic/Excessive dreaming". THANK YOU for giving my vivid, multiple dreams per night a diagnosis. I wake up more tired than before I went to sleep. A lot of times I look at the time during waking hours and during dreams to confirm if I'm awake or dreaming.
@@susanfudge1737 He was and at the end of the movie his delusional azz thought he was in the real world but the spinning top wouldn't stop spinning so his AZZNADO was wrong.
Trying to resolve things in the dream world because the real world hasn't been safe for them? And you can't resolve anything without executive functions in the awake world.
I have always dreamed in colors I have always dreamed of doing math, road directions (maps), flying, and also relatives who have passed. Still today, I can recall probably 95% of my dreams my entire life to this day. They have had a profound effect on my life
Like Dr Chatterjee, Dr Jandial is very humble. He keeps saying he is open to learning and accepts other people's opinions. In many cultures, dreams are important components of navigating life and in some cultures there are scholars for interpreting dreams. It is fascinating. New scientific discoveries only want to make me study religions in depth and get closer to God.
I realized that my dreams weren’t aimless and it changed my life forever. I had dream I walked in a door and was facing a hallway in an office building. I woke up and never thought anything about it. 3 months later I was asked to close an office in a city that I had never been through. I drove down with my supervisor and we walked through the door of the building and I immediately froze. It was the exact same hallway. It had all the windows of the offices and even the bend was the same. Only difference was the color of the walls; in reality they were a peach and in my dream they were white
this happened to me so meny times... i dream about something and that come into reality... but no one believs on me they think I'm delusional... but my dreams became true so meny times
I do the same thing. I've dreamed of people having car accidents then it happens. I dreamed about all my children and grandchildren before the were born. I think I've even dreamed about my own death. It's really scary at times.
People like to say "no one's ever gonna figure out dreaming". Well, I'm not that pessimistic. We're well on our way, learning new things by the day, and this guy is one of many on the forefront of these discoveries 👌💖✌️✨️💜
This conversation is awesome! So refreshing to be able to watch two very intelligent people discuss a topic that can expand its understanding without acting like we got it all figured out. Thank you! I wish others follow your lead to have discussions instead of swapping data points acting like the experts.
I'm a data scientist and often if I can't find a solution to a problem at work, I will dream all night long about attempting to solve the problem. I will often come up with my best solutions that way!
My dreams are usually mission impossible like dreams. Escaping/battling/stabbing zombies, adventures in the city, back in college (unprepared), lose my car, in car or bike that falls apart, strangers turning into people I've known, animals & past pets, my passed away dad levitating in spirit realm, usually twilight, black or gray sky, sometimes raining, tsunamis, black ocean, continuing & repeating dreams, fighting, flying high into outerspace then falling down hard, annoying issues with my mouth & teeth. I feel exhausted when I wake up!
I really admire something he mentioned. It was the discussion about the Non-REM sleep transition, or Hypnagogic time, and the routine to help transition better and remember dreams... He mentioned having the "luxury of having a bed.* Someone with his success and the intense career he has to also take time to be aware that it's 100% a blessing to sleep in a bed. That sentence he said speaks a lot. Not many people I listen to that have his knowledge, career, ect also view things like. Also, this video is awesome and I'm going to look for the first book along with this one, I'm in school for psychiatry Neuro-biology, still got a long ways to go😅 but this is mind blowing info that's motivating
I have been a vivid dreamer all my life. I talk in my sleep and act out dreams. I threw myself out of bed a couple of times. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2022.
I dream every night and can recall my dreams back to my husband the following day. Some dreams are so vivid I can recall the whole dream, at others times it’s more snippets of the dream and the recall expands over the next days/weeks. I also dream things that happen in the future.. Sometimes it takes years for it to manifest.
I had a beautiful lucid dream 3 days ago (I often have them). I was on a mountain divided into three peaks(that ) and I met two people dressed in ancient attire like Vikings, carrying bundles of wood on their backs. I was truly awake within the dream and I could touch the rock (I still remember the sensation). At a certain point, I turned to one of them with lighter hair and said, "I feel great here, breathing wonderful air and warmth. I can see night and day together, the sea at the base of the cliffs, and I can hear and see with the same eyes as the eagles circling above. Please don’t make me wake up; I want to stay here." At this point, he turned, looked me in the eyes, and said, "You want to know the origin of life and things; you have been searching for it for a long time." He took the pickaxe to his right, cracked a piece of rock, took a piece, and said to me, "Look inside here; in it is Chaos and Order, the origin." At that point, a warm, intense light emanated from within it, covering everything. Then I was forcefully transported into a room where black goo was dripping from a mirror. The void that came from it said to me, "It generates the dark side that sticks to the soul and regenerates infinitely." Unfortunately, I then woke up...I recognized that mountain in a video by chance two days later at an event, and it’s in Norway.
Ionce dreamt of some 40 circling vultures flying 200 mts above me and I knew i was dreaming of my school in the highghlands close to Medellin where I used to be a teacher … 7 days later the very same scene occurred in the real life! then I dreamt of a flood and a water channel which really occurred 7 months later in Pereira Colombia!!!!
I have MANY instances of dreaming places only to recognize them in videos a day or two later. It freaks me out and I convince myself that it's not some mystical explanation but more so that I must have watched a similar video before and the algorithm just fed me more of the same that hit that deja vu nerve. But I also wonder if it is a side effect of being in a simulation and some super computer feeding me copies in dream and wake. Thanks for sharing! It's so interesting to know others experience similar things in dreams.
This assertion has been around for many, many years, that we sleep to dream. It is grand that this person lives during a time when the instruments are available to actually obtain data for the review and discussion of this topic. Thank you for this video.
I've always thought and believed that dreams were your body's way of giving you a movie so that it could get to work in fixing and cleaning out your organs shuffling through the thousands and millions of memories formed each day... And sometimes the dreams were actually about the issue you were having...
Full color, full stereo, all senses, and the wind is amazing when flying. I get to hang out with my friends and family who have passed, it’s beautiful. We have a blast playing and going on adventures. What the heck will we get into tonight? Can’t wait!
I have had ‘ dreams ‘ which were so vivid, some lucid, that, to this day, I do not know, if these had been dreams or ‘a real happening’, that I could have ‘lived’ in a different or ‘parallel life ‘ I dream both in B/W and colour ( Black and white dreams are usually more artistically, hauntingly beautiful )
Some dreams, from a decade or even 2 decades ago, sometimes emerge while I'm awake. The feelings those dreams evoked, emerge with the recollection. These aren't necessarily the dreams I wrote down. Anyone? Thank you, good doctors. I love this podcast!
I hate dreaming most times. They are so vivid. Feels so real. I can even change situations in my dreams if i don't like what's going on. I get rest but still is so tired because i dream the whole time.
I had an alien invasion dream too the other day. It was AI being the Aliens, controlling all humans. I also thought it was completely movie worthy 🤣 I wish one could record dreams!
Lol could it be all of us who have this dream lately are being told by God, universe, or or own subconscious mind that we must gear up just in case the everyday lives we live are faced with it in reality? I notice all these comments we all some sort of adhd, cptsd (myself included), depressions or have battled hardship in one way or another or what our culture seems as easy aka “oh turn in a deadline and if you forget it’s your fault for not taking adhd meds” or “oh you were assaulted or robbed at gun point or can’t pay the light bill that’s on you” by our individualistic culture really everywhere right now primarily as a USA resident lol.
@@Less_Or_More_RikaI had a dream inside a dream about 2 teen Alien future human looking, landing and wanting to abduct me.Insanely vivid and interesting dream that i felt it was so true especially when i woke up to find myself that this wasnt a dream and then i woke up again lol.
For nine months after fleeing from DV into an even more horrific situation, I couldn't sleep and it nearly killed me. Fortunately, I was able to document all of it and I'm trying to produce a book on my experiences... it's tough, since I'm still recovering almost six years after escaping the shelter. I ONLY JUST started recalling my dreams again... about six months ago. I saw it as a sign that my health was returning.
3 months after we lost out son to SIDS. I had been praying asking why he took our son, that i was angry with him (god) for this. I did this repeatedly. Than 1 night I had a dream I was holding him. He was smiling and laughing. In my dream I knew he was deceased and I held him so tight and didn't want to let go, i was crying sad and happy tears. My alarm went off, I woke up with tears and a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders and I was finally able to pick my self back up and start moving forward.
I'm 66, almost 67. I had vivid dreaming much more when I was younger. I have had two dreams that were very unlikely, come true. I have awakened during a particularly good dream and decided I wanted to go back into it and did. I dreamed several times being a flying being, running down a runway, flapped my arms, and took off. The overall theme of most of my dreaming is searching for something via various modes of travel, looking for something, or running from someone with evil intent. Few nightmares. Very strange indeed.
Whenever I’m struggling to make a decision or come up with a solution I turn it over to my subconscious and stop thinking about it. Sure enough, within a few days, I have a dream that provides the perfect answer.
I totally believe you. I used to dream speaking French and German. I would literally speak them so well lol at that time I was doing translations in both those languages. Now that I’m interested in fashion I find myself dreaming of outfits and different looks it’s crazy lol
My family has told me my entire life that I need to keep a dream journal and write a book. My dreams are so real to me that I can't tell I'm dreaming. I've woken up feeling lost as if I am in the wrong house or I recognize the house but it doesn't seem like mine. I've also had dreams so detailed and real I have talked about it years later thinking it's a legit memory. It's insane the way I dream.
I love dreams! My dad passed 13 years ago and every now again God lets me see and hug him in my dreams. It’s simple wonderful! I am prone to seizures ( I have brain cancer) I was on the fence about getting the covid vaccine but I felt pressure to do so. I made an appointment but that night I dreamt when the nurse gave me the vaccine , I hit the floor seizing so I said no thanks!
For many years I had a serious, undiagnosed heart problem. Several times a week. I would dream I was trying to call the doctor or the rescue squad. I kept getting the number wrong, etc and was never able to make contact. Years later when I got a diagnosis, I realized my brain knew what was happening and was trying to get my attention.
@@dream-analysisUKour subconscious is not intelligent but only by what we feed it. The only answer Is God deposits his words to us in parables that’s why most dreams need decoded in the same way.
@@Jacob96wv For the sake of this conversation, I prefer to use the word unconscious, as far as I understand it, the unconscious is everything thing we don't know, an even things that we can't even conceive that we don't know, and that might well include 'God' although the G word is not something that sits well with me, as many different faith groups apply many different meanings to to their particular version of God. Where I feel we have common ground is,: SOME of our dreams contain wisdom from a deeper intelligence that has our back. If you want to call it God you can, but personally I feel this source of intelligence is far more mysterious than what people tend to pin on their version of God. The very nature of the unconscious is mystery and there is no possible way to intellectually understand it.
@@dream-analysisUK if i told you a hundred things you could prove true with evidence then i told you a hundred things you could not prove. Would you trust me on the things you could not prove since i didn’t have a reputation of lieing to you? That’s what God did with the Bible. It’s hitstorically and locationally accurate . That’s why i trust his intelligence . I’ve also experienced him first hand in telling me things or showing me things in dreams and it comes to pass. His name is Jesus. “For God speaketh once, Yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men, In slumberings upon the bed; Then he openeth the ears of men, And sealeth their instruction,” Job 33:14-16 KJV
Two things popped into my mind when the doctor mentions how people began dreaming more in color once color tv came out. The book, THE GIVER, which is also in movie form, a novel which shows about learning to see color (evolving beyond the hive mind). Also the film PLEASANTVILLE, which also begins in B&W, but slowly introduces color. Both are fascinating stories.
I often start dreaming right after falling asleep. I can get the wildest dream during a 10 min nap. It's great. Also, I don't remember having many nightmares. I can recall maybe 1 or 2. But I remember many great, very vivid and realistic dreams. Another interesting thing is that I've been having a very realistic dream my entire life where I'm being chased by people (police/paparazzi, fans, etc). It kind of feels like I'm famous, but I'm still trying to figure out who I am in that dream. The older I get, the more answers I get about the whole story. It's like living a 2nd life in that dream, but it unfolds slowly like in a movie. I love playing with dreams and finding "hacks" to get more vivid dreams. I found that if I take a nap between 16:00 and 19:00, I get the wildest, most realistic dreams. It gets to the point where I wake up thinking, "What did just happen?" and it feels like it actually happened. My theory is that you are the most relaxed at that time because it's too early to "worry" about the next day (work etc) so my brain is 100% relaxed and that allows it to go wild with my imagination/dreaming. Dreams are fascinating
A good friend lives a second life in his dreams. He's in his 60s & this has gone on for decades. Also he can fall asleep & go into this dream state in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately it's very disturbing for him, but fascinating all the same.
That time frame fits for me too. It's weird because I wake up not knowing where I am because of the dream. I don't get the same when I nap between 1300 and 1500.
I usually do not remember my dreams. When I was a young child, I had a recurring nightmare. I recall that one. One dream I will not forget was when I composed a symphony in the dream. I love music, but I am no composer. Yet it was beautiful, and the feeling was amazing.
I would suggest reviewing the studies of the Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS) is a research unit within the Department of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences a University of Virginia’s School of Medicine for possible explanations for your dreams.
After I experienced an extreme trauma, I couldn’t go to sleep as normal, but would pass out and be out for four hours. During that time, I had no dreams. My eyes would open at four a.m. I would not remember the trauma for a moment or know where I was, but as the reality of what had happened began to hit me, an electric, hot sensation would travel down my arms. And then the sobbing would come. This went on for months. I knew I was healing when dreams began to come again. In retrospect, I believe my brain was helping me escape the trauma for a bit each day. That was 12 years ago. Yesterday, I saw someone who was important to me at the time of the trauma that I hadn’t had contact with since. That night, I dreamt I was in a desert and a sand-colored snake that I could barely detect rose from the sand and bit me on my arm above my wrist. I couldn’t get it off of me, so I wrapped the entire snake around my arm with a cloth. There was no pain. Weird.
I used to study in my sleep and work math problems. I've gone to bed after trying and failing at a math problem and woke up with the answer. I'm usually in an empty lecture hall with a big green chalkboard and a bunch of chalk or I'm in a huge empty library with a really nice notebook and a smooth pen.
I also read and do maths in my dream. I can write too and sometimes I visit world where languages are symbols and I can understand it. It’s so cool. I dream every night and remember 97% of my dreams since I was like 8yrs old. Sometimes I can actually remember how my dreams start or choose scenarios in my dream void scape.
When I was around 10, we had fireworks, one of them wouldn’t light that night I dreamed of how to reconfigure the wick. And it worked, so I do think that the brain helps us to problem solve.
I can dream 2 to 3 dreams a night, I believe it relates to the same thing that is trying to make it clear to us, just in different ways..... I truly believe it's a spiritual language, it's trying to tell us things or direct us... I live by the guidance of my dreams.. It's real.. I believe it's symbolic, not literal. That is my experiences...
I visit new places, meet new people in my dreams. Often, I revisit places that only exist in my dream. Sometimes I wake up and when I go back to sleep next, the dream continues like part 2 of a movie. I wonder if it's another life I'm living in my dreams or if it's a glimpse of an alternate reality.
A brother of my first boyfriend, who was also one of my brother's good friends recently died. I didn't know him, only thru my b/f. A couple days after i heard of his passing, he came to me in a dream. I called him up, why i don't know, and he was crying. He told me he was upset everyone forgot his birthday. 😢
It's sad if the only thing people make notice of is the day you left this world, not the day you began this life. A birthday confirms a life. A death date only confirms you don't exist.
I love this. I concur, as a behavioral and mental health care practitioner, I will say that EMDR is exactly what happens during the dreaming or sleep process. It heals us, recharges us, and answers our most critical questions about ourselves as human; spiritual beings. Awake is the secondary consciousness, as opposed to sleep, EMDR, or even certain psychoactive chemicals that are or induce the primal consciousness - where we can actively remedy our whole being.
I lucid dream a lot. Always have since I was small. I can sometimes control my dreams and make choices and have conscious thoughts that I remember when I wake up
I propose that a falling dream can represent a lack of complete synaptic response. I only say this because my father who suffered from early onset Alzheimer’s in his mid 40’s would mention that he had a repetitive dream that he was falling and never hit the ground
I have had falling dreams since I was a small child and I'm old and still have them on occasion. And I have never met someone who hasn't had that same kind of dream before.
I used to dream nightly then my father died suddenly (this was twenty years a go) I quit remembering my dreams. I maybe only remember one or two a year. I wonder why?
This is exactly what I was looking for. I haven't had a vivid falling dream in a while. But I used to dream I fell right through the mattress. Freaky 😮😮
I love that the medical profession is finally having discussions around these topics, but for many many years people have come into their lives already knowing all this, teaching all this without fancy scans and tests. We don’t need validation from academia who has for centuries burned people at the stake for this wisdom. These credentials no longer impress me and haven’t for some time now
It's not the "credentials" that are impressive. I've been waiting a long time for East (mind) to meet West (mind) in a serious way. I am certainly apprehensive about how these newly created constructs will be applied. But for now, I'm enjoying the new mix.
I fell asleep listening to this, and became a part of the dialogue. My hypothesis (from the dream) is that dreams are scripted before we sleep and need to play out, hence the sleep pressure to get computer time. Also, the observer in the dream is not the writer, explaining the frequent elements of surprise. I wrote most of my term papers while in college during sleep. All A’s. 😊
@@Prettywins I don’t know how it works - I would dream about the content of papers I was working on, wake up, go straight to a word processor (I’m old) and type up what I had composed in my dreams. I seemed to have insights during sleep that stayed with me when I awoke.
I suffered trauma as a child, i had anxiety that was never addressed. I had the same dream going into a house, every room needed decorating or structural damage. Getting therapy helped and I kept returning to the same house and decorating room by room. There was a room I saw but I didn't want to go, but i knew that was the room that was too much. I finally got to the room and dug threw dirt and soil with my hands, I was really distressed, but I had such a wonderful experience I uncovered a beautiful burning fire pit and a wonderful waterfall. I have not dreamed of that house again. I understood my anxiety and now and live a better life. If I need a solution to something I have a good chat with myself before bed. I also believe in God and ask for my answers. It's. Working

I'm just thinking of questions as I listen so forgive me if you have covered this I am 45mins in...I'm curious there is some research to suggest that the heart has its own brain I wonder what significance this has to dreaming if any? Thank you for your work and for sharing it
And another question whats the difference in the brain during meditation and dreaming?
Sure! All the time!
I do
Where can we take such surveys?
When I was pregnant, my doctor said my belly was big because I had a baby and a tumor, but I said in my dreams my other baby is telling me he is not a tumor! So I went to another doctor and got a sonogram and there he was my other baby! His heart rate was very low but it was twins not a tumor! They were also in the same sac which is rare and very high risk. The one with the low heart rate was a problem according to the doctors and they wanted to abort him, but I did not because I knew through my dreams both babies were talking to me and one twin would kick the other so his heart rate would go up. I signed papers so they could share this case because it was really unbelievable. You could watch them during a sonogram play this out. Anyway my dreams changed the direction of my pregnancy! My twin boys are 23yrs old now, I am VERY blessed!❤😊
Thank God. Did you see the comment above about the woman who had the two abortions?
It’s a miracle!
Wow, you are very blessed. I believe we have extra senses that have not yet been discovered or confirmed.
I can confirm that there is definitely communication on a deep level between the mother and the child. I too saw my daughter and her features before she was born and she is exactly as I knew her through the dreams during that pregnancy. Uncanny.
@@DFMoray What?
I am totally blind, and some of my favorite dreams are when I can see, and I can walk through forest and run through parks and browse bookstores without any assistance from anyone. I love being able to dream about being able to see
That’s amazing , I wonder if the images you see in your dreams is different or the same as what the average “seeing” person sees ( if that makes sense )
O my dear friend, that is so precious. Thank you for sharing.
Try dreaming about flying your own personal craft.
Just ask for it before you go to sleep.
It’s the landing part that takes practice. No worries. You got this. 💫🤩
That's wonderful.
I'm disabled so being able to not feel pain is amazing.
@@Skala76 that’s a really good question, I could see until I was 26 and I think my dreams are much more vivid after I lost my vision, but of course this is just my own personal experience between dreaming with vision and dreaming without vision. Thanks for your reply.🦋
I have had dreams where I wake up ,go back to sleep, and dream part 2 of it,even 3 parts.
I experience this too.
Some times I just get up,nightmares
Me as well@@mrsANGRYh
I've had that too!!
💛
I woke up laughing uncontrollably, total church giggles with my brother, one of the best dreams I'd ever had. I don't know when I realized I was dreaming, but my abdominal muscles shuddering with laughter woke me up.
I reached out for my phone to call my brother. I had to know, what was so funny? What were we laughing about? He'd be able to help me tease it apart
I had my phone unlocked and was dialing before the kaleidoscope of reality slivered into my brain
My brother passed away 4 years ago
But what a gift that dream was! He and I were in the same space at the same time again, it was so real, so tangible
It was as though he was telling me 'it's OK to laugh again.'
We need The Funny in our lives.
I had a similar dream talking to my sister ( deceased 4 years ago). It was a dream in a dream, and when I woke up I was trying to remember where we had gone. I literally thought it had happened. When I realized it was a dream, I cried when the meaning became abundantly clear. I just sobbed.

@lggig534 😢I'm sooo sorry for your Loss ❤
I lost my partner 8years ago & l continue to have dreams where we are together & being intimate which l mean in the sense of the intense loving emotions l feel in the dream & l feel everything that l felt while he was alive. In these moments l take them that l we are still connected in the love we shared together 💔💭🫶🏼They feel incredibly special & so real!! So sorry for your loss 💔
Loss is so incredibly hard. Keep laughing. Don’t loose your sense of humor.
I had a dream that I was able to hug my son again. I'm so grateful for dreams I really am. I woke up sobbing but it was so nice to have my son back in my arms again.
Thats Deep. Iam realy sorry for your los.
Iam a father myself and reading your comment hit me emotionally.
I had the same experience with my mother a few days after she passed. It was wild. I was like OMG I'm so happy to see you! Dreams are something else!!
I had this dream about my best friend. I understand it’s not the same but for me to be able to hug my best friend again was incredible. I also was crying when I woke up.
I am sure he loves you. ❤
@@JulieAriella11It is the same grief. Different relationship, but the same pain.
Sleeping is more enjoyable than life, which is progressively getting harder and more expensive
My thoughts
This sounds like depression. But Im no doctor.
@AnonYmous-vu1lw it's not depression, just dreams are usually adventurous, have no accountability, are magical and not at all practical. Instead of watching a fantasy film, you're in it.
I agree 100%. My mom warns to not be an ostrich with my head in the sand.
@@AnonYmous-vu1lw😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀
My dreams are so detailed. Nothing I can relate to in my awakened life. It’s like watching a movie. I love to go to sleep and dream. Sometimes I wonder if it’s another life I’m in.
I dream a lot about the movies I watch
There is so much symbolizing in dreams, use your common sense in figuring out meanings, like if your driving in your dream, or is someone esle? Usually means whether you feel you have control in your life, etc.
I have these sort of dreams too
Some cultures believe the dream world is as real as the waking world
Yup.. It's the same for everyone.
I have dreams where I can fly. It is the most vivid dreams and when I wake, I can actually feel what it was like to fly. All my flying dreams, I feel liberated, free, and just so light. It is truly an amazing feeling that I just can't explain.
I read somewhere once that the flying dream takes a certain level of mastering ☁️🐦 I remember this person feeling very proud and accomplished. Not everyone can finesse it, and I hear it feels amazing! Generally I think the idea is that you know how to let go and trust the universe and have enough confidence, faith, and connectedness with the universal consciousness. You're in a good place mentally, spiritually, and physically. You have peace within and around you and it radiates from you As u walk in your truth! ❤
I had flying dream when I was young but I noticed when I was in my 40’s I never dreamed it again.
Yes!! I loved those dreams! I was scared but I started seeing an actual area from above although I never had seen them that way so it was fascinating... Id wake up so happy....

Shortly after my mom died i had a dream she came to visit me. She was wearing her favorite dress and asked me to look after my sister. About 6 months later i was with my dad, brothers, and sister and mentioned the dream, but only the part about her standing at the end pf my bed in the dress. All of them immediately said they had the same dream and they gave more details...all of which were the same as what i didn't tell them about mine. We were all in a bit of shock that we all "dreamed" the exact same thing.
Well, it was not a "dream". Your mom really came to say her farewell. ♡ My mom had the same thing with her mom.

I don’t need to go on vacations, I just go to sleep. Each night, a different adventure!
Yes, and since I meditate now, and live remote, I would dislike going on vacations, so I think I understand what you are saying!
Definitely true... vacation for free... no luggage to pack.... & if one beleives in God, a great opportunity to ask HIM "what was that all about?"..👍🏾
I agree! I love dreaming! I've done some lucid dreaming, but I really just find dreams in general so fascinating.
@@15Beaches me too love sleeping
I also love my dreams. Lots of adventures, I have fun and there’s time I hear myself laughing. 😊
I’m always fascinated at how, within a dream,
my brain can conjure up the faces and personalities of new people I’ve never seen or met before in real life.
I’ve thought about this too. I woke up crying cause I met a grandmother/matriarch type of family member that I loved sooo much. And in my dream I knew she wasn’t real and I woke myself up from crying in my sleep about it.
So odd.
Try to remember those faces. Perhaps one day you’ll meet them. Also,some say those types of dreams are not of your own but in fact life as another.
@@scarletts4221 I hope there’s truth to all of this dream stuff. Because I also dreamt of a white tiger once. I wasn’t scared of it. It gave ne a vibe like we were friends. And i wished I could go back to sleep and see that again too.
Do you eventually meet them? I've seen people post that they saw a baby before it was born and that it looked exactly the same as the dream.
Apparently you can't dream about faces you never saw. The brain just collects more Data then we can remember concious and it keeps stunning me too. Even intimate dreams are so detailed >
There are people who are born blind that claim that they're dream's contain visual content. This makes me come to the conclusion that we are more than just a body, that we are spiritual beings. And our consciousness goes beyond the physical body.
There is a comment here of a person who is blind and dreams of seeing great testimony.
@@woodcutterdave7835
Hi Dave, I believe we are not just spiritual beings but are actually pure energy. Otherwise, why are we salt based? Nothing conducts electricity better than salt water! When what people refer to as the soul leaving the body after death, in my opinion, is your energy amassing in the brain just as it prepairs to propel you towards your next destination. It would also help our neurologist,rahul Jandial. understand why the brain activity is so massive on his vital signs monitor, even though the heart has been stopped for several minutes. He is absolutely correct that it’s the brain disconecting from our shell. The only difference between his theory and mine is that I think the persons spirit is packing up to move on, not to die. I would like to talk more about this when I have more time. Just to be clear, I’m not religious, I have no agenda, and I’m not a nut job. I think this is string theory on steroids!
@@verygrateful007 It Says he dreams vividly and sometimes in color. It is possible for your brain see things that your eyes cannot. It takes work to realise what an object feels like, looks like, and wbere it might be in your daily life. So why can’t a sightless person dream of things whilst knowing their description,colour,placement? A blind from birth person may not see colours the same way as a sighted person, but so what?
We are spirits having a physical experience.
@@annallen654 Yes we are 🙏❤️
A few months after a medical termination due to abnormalities.. I had a dream that the funeral directors had taken out the tiny white coffin and put it next to another coffin the same and said they would put both back in the same grave... 2 weeks later I found out I was pregnant again... Forward 5 months I had to have another termination due to same genetic abnormalities... Day before the burial the funeral directors called and said if I wanted to bury the second baby in the same grave plot as there was only one space left!
My dream played out months in advance!!
P. S. I had a healthy baby boy the following year who is now 21yrs old
I had a similar situation, had to have a termination, I was distraught over it. Dreamt that same night, that I had the baby and gave him to my sister. See in my dream the baby was a boy. My sister was 38 and never conceived. Two months later she was pregnant, then gave birth to twin boys.
I wonder if had you nod remembered this dream, if it would have been different, i.e. did it become a self-fulfilling prophecy?
@@KLTer-jo9jy no not at all... I forgot about the dream and only remembered it a few weeks after the second burial and was shocked when I realised how significant that dream had been.
❤ I had a precognitive dream when I was 8, that played out when I was 50. (The memory of it stuck because it was terrifying.) Now, at age 69, I continue to marvel at the phenomenon. So glad you've got your son. 🎉

I love dreaming, I go so many places and meet new friends and visit with old friends and family. Every night is an adventure.
You make dreaming sound amazing
I love that view on dreaming. I saw my grandmother last week in a dream. She passed nearly 20 years ago. She told me my future partner is in Poland lol. We're Polish
Only a psycho can enjoy a dream.... Guess it's you 😅😅😅
@@kaprinal492ah good! At least you don't have to leave the country to find your love!😅❤

When I was in highschool I was taking Geometry. For homework we had to construct a proof every evening. I would stare and stare at the problem and the theorems, etc. for an hour or two, but I never could construct the proof at night. I would go to bed and sleep, and, when I woke up, I would know the proof which I had to quickly write down. I LOVED this magical process and I was astounded by it; it tickled me! I've tried to remember to use it as I've gone through my life. I'm 78 1/2 now.
That must have been absolutely magical! How beautiful how seamless
I like the 1/2 in your age :)
@@AlicjaChojecka The 1/2 is very important when you are very young and when you are very old. Go figure ........................
@@joannabreaks435 Yes, beautiful and seamless (and, I would say, reliable), but, in fact, it is "bulkier" than logic as a process. I didn't have logic at that time - I was a 14yr. old girl in America's mid-century culture for goodness sake!
What I have observed about this sub-conscious process vs. logic is that when you figure something out with logic, there is an "aha!" or "eureka!" moment as the "mechanism" clicks into place. With this, sub-conscious process, I looked at the problem again and had an "oh yes, of course!" moment as if I already knew the answer (which I did) and was just cleaning up the mess and putting things back in their correct places. That's the way it is for me, anyway.
I love the way Rahul Jandiah is careful to label things as "data" or "theory/conjecture". It helps.
Ramanujan supposedly had the Hindu gods come to him in his dreams and show him proofs
Anyone else have the same dream where your back in university and fall behind on your courses and fail and just feel so lost and stressed ? Only to wake up and remember you graduated uni 15 years ago 😮💨 😅
42 and still having this dream time to time
My gosh yes! I have had the same type of dreams. In a university, skipping class, falling behind, getting overwhelmed, about to fail. Many variations of this same scenario. I did, unfortunately, play this out in real life although I did overcome this problem eventually and graduated from college. I believe it’s subconscious guilt resulting from wasting opportunities and money. Don’t have these dreams as often now so I assume my subconscious is working it out.
Yes!!! I do all the time!!
Every few months I have the dream where I'm getting my schedule, am late, and am running all over campus searching for my classes.
Used to all the time. Thankfully stopped about 5 years after finished school but it was constant before that.
Three months ago, I had a dream. I'm from India and a veterinary doctor. I received an acceptance letter from a prestigious university in the USA for a PhD program. I had never been to the USA before. One night, I dreamt that I was shot by gunfire in a church in the USA. The dream was so detailed that I could feel the pain and stress. In the dream, I was praying in that church, which is ironic because I am not a Christian. Two weeks later, I received news that I was no longer accepted to the university due to funding issues. Usually, one would feel sad, but I felt relieved.
Do you think God was calling to you to pray?
@@tammyw2368 I don't know in that dream i am having a white crystal rosary and i am praying to mother mary.The Altar was so beautiful full of white marbles.I am reciting the mother mary something i can't recollect. when i got shot by gunfire i was outside the church in the pavement. i could feel the pain i have felt. I am not christian and I don't know the prayers. but i felt it was real. i think in my life i may convert. i don't know.
If you are Christian you would pray to Christ?
Wow... that's quite amazing 😮
May have been the Hail Marys, since you mentioned a beautiful rosary. @@moonlightwolf1
I Love, and am so grateful for this topic. I’m 51 and I am still able to recall dreams from over 40 years ago as a child. These were dreams different from so many thousands of others, specifically because of the way they made me feel. They affected me very emotionally, literally taking me, or flying me to places in my life where the brain knew I was happiest. My brain while dreaming consistently returned me to favorite childhood locations, grocery stores, sidewalks, parks, in and around my childhood homes, neighborhoods. This happens all the time.
I literally dream so vividly every single night that I feel like I live a whole extra life...I am always so tired as I never get "time off ". I related to that show ' Severance' so much!
Me too
Dang that’s crazy, I’m also glad that you mention Severance, it’s such a good show.
I should watch that you just described my exact experience/comment to another person lol
Vivid dreaming is almost the same as being awake as your conscious is working... REM dreaming is the subconscious working
A couple months ago I was visiting my cousin in Chicago and we were basically stoned the entire time. Chicago is a very different world than where I live (suburbia Texas) so everything felt dream like. One night we were driving past downtown under a strawberry moon and it suddenly occurred to me that one of the keys to unlocking the mystery and purpose of life is a very simple child's song. "Row row row your boat gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream." I've been studying Buddhism a lot lately, and what I have come to understand is that our lives are like a dream of a greater cosmic consciousness, so it is best lived mindfully, like you're rowing a boat gently down a stream, rather than getting caught up in the turbulent waters of drama, hate, violence, competition. All that to say that I believe this life is another dream, and that our dreams more accurately represent the expansive conscious experience of our higher, immortal selves.
This was interesting.
I started keeping records of my dreams when in my early to mid 20s.
I started having the most incredibly emotional dreams that were so upsetting and real that it took me days to get over them.
The dreams themselves varied, but they all had the same message warning me of a death that happens when I am 38yrs old.
So, I met my partner in highschool. We didn't get together until we we were 24 years old. Both born the same year and month, but I am 10 days older than him.
Fast forwarding to September 2024, both of us were 38 years old.
My partner woke up one morning with something wrong with his left eye. We went to the hospital, he was admitted and 1 week later, and multiple amount of tests, he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer, that had spread to his Brain, Liver, and Spine. He was told the likelihood of him making past Christmas last year is extremely unlikely.
He fought as long and hard as he could. We had our 15 year anniversary on the 12th September this year, and he passed away on the 19th of September. Exactly 1 year later, to the day he was diagnosed.
😢🙏blessed be you both
I have adhd (late diagnosed) and I've always had epic vivid dreams.
I see people who've passed and it's so real it's like they are back.
I can remember dreams too, I recall some being like 4 years old
I have severe ADHD and I only lucid dream. I have wondered if it’s associated to my ADHD 🤔
I have severe adhd and hate sleeping due to television like dreams...
I just wanna rest
Me too!!
Me, too! My dreams are so epic and involved that even in my 40’s, the details of my dreams really stay with me, sometimes they effect my day. 3 out of ten times may be lucid dreams. I never seriously considered a link between my “other life” and my adhd. Makes sense. 🤷🏾♀️
When my Mother died years ago now I was devastated 💔 I had this what I decribe as a waking dream most vividly I saw her waving at me outside the coronary care unit where she'd died she looked so happy and it was like magically soothing for me .
Lovely... Could that have been your mum waving from her post 'death' dimensional state, though? ❤
When my mother died I was asleep 300 kms away. I dreamed my sister, me and my mum were in the front seat of a car my mum was driving. Then she started leaning on me and the car steered off the road. I said to my sister “mum is dead” and I woke up very calm - and learned when Morning came she had in fact died at the same time as my dream.
@@llamarama111this happened to me when my grandfather died.
I had a dream my baby daddy was cheating on me with a girl on Instagram. The next day, i was on Instagram and saw that he had been talking to a girl on their.
I've had dreams of foreboding things to happen. I also dreamed that someone died and then 3 hours later they were gone. It's scary but also like peaceful because the dream already prepared me for it. It's crazy
I often wonder if we are tapping into an alternate reality. Like looking through a window and seeing our lives unfold in varying dimensions we exist in.
When I dream about going to school, years ago, I wonder if I am really a ghost there today. Still alive but my energy is there.
I totally believe so! But i think that the doctors didn’t want to go that route. Only talked about things that could be proven. There is so much more spirituality to physicality. i wish they also talked about pineal gland and DMT.
I agree. I think it's another life we live when we dream. We receive messages in the dream. I've dreamt things that then happen in the awake life.
No, the alternate reality reality we are experiencing is the delusional thought process that's being imprinted upon our consciousness.. .
No, the alternate reality is being imprinted on us.
I had a dream that my dog was in the middle of a busy road and in danger of being hit, then i woke up.
Later that day she got out of our yard (this never happened before) and she ran up the road into traffic. She almost got hit like in my dream but thankfully the car stopped in time.
We got her home safe.
But i was shocked how accurate my dream was!
Our brains are more powerful than we know.
That is odd. When I got my dog at first (rescue) I became really attached to her and I had a dream that she had an accident and was split down the middle on the inside, but not the outside, hard to explain. Eventually that wee dog died of pancreatic cancer and I remembered the dream when she was lying on my knee at the vet looking like she did in that dream.
I had a dream as a teenager that I was almost hit by a car and the whole scenario played out in real life and because of the dream I was able to warn the people in our car to get out of the way.
The last part of the broadcast was a very powerful moment. Makes me think about all the people thst died alone during covid. No one was there to comfort them or to hold their hands one last time😢
A crossed over loved one was with them. Some1 always ALWAYS fetches you
We are spiritual beings having a human experience, no one crosses back over alone.
😢
Yes, the same for me. I was in heart ache many times over not allowing loved ones to be by the dying persons side.
We lost 8 family members 2018-2020..some young, most older.
The last funeral before lock down was March 7th. All of our family ( other than the cousin who drowned)...we shared being with family, and one of us or more, were with them as they died.
I looked back at those poor people without anyone, and felt it was the worst of all injustices that government mandated.
Sinful, immoral, shameful and heartbreaking.
Still, my sister and Mom were so fearful via government propaganda, they refused to let anyone see them.
We got there 1 day before Mom died.
Those who grieved without that goodbye have a whole different process to let their loved one go. ❤
Dont worry they (and we) will have the biggest comfort when we will die...from our brains. Our best dream yet...
I'm addicted to my dreaming cause I'm aware I'm dreaming and I escape physical life this way, not always good but oh well..
That is referred to as Lucid Dreaming, when you realize you are dreaming
Yes.me too Lucid dreaming
Ditto!
Same
I only lucid dream.
Dreams are natures way of allowing us to experience 1/3rd of our life free from the harsh realities of life.
My dreams tell me what's going on, what will happen tomorrow, tells me when someone dies. Sometimes they're exact and I literally live my dream the next day, other times it's more cryptic and it makes sense later on.
I have been to houses that I call home and I keep going back and I recognize my own room, the bathroom, the backyard, only in my dreams. I call them home with a passion ❤️
When I dream of home it’s always with all my family and we are sitting at the kitchen table together.
My mom wanted to learn Russian and listened to it while sleeping. She swore it helped her become more fluent.
We tried it át highschool, it did not help, just couln't sleep, but good luck!
I believe it if it was ongoing. High school teachers are not necessarily well educated. I believe your 👩 mother.
I used to listen to manifestations every night before and during sleep and I saw results within 3 months.
I have to listen to podcasts while I sleep. If I don't I fall into anxiety. I call it my secret super power. I learn while I'm sleeping.
@sobc2737 I had same results!! I had to try different ones but once I found what worked for me it was powerful!!❤❤
As a teacher I've learned to introduce a decision that needs to be made (art teacher, so creativity) days in advance so kids can "think on it" but in my own life, it's really "dream on it". Our brain needs a night or two to chew on any problem
Yes!
You are SO wise.. great teacher taking into account dreams... ❤
Or it could be doing something physical like going on a long walk, staring at the sea or sky, or meditating.
@@deborahcurtis1385Some of the greatest minds in the world said they would go for a walk to solve problems.
Ur whole life should be like that. Think, dream, read, see etc the way you want your life to be. It creates your life
I've dreamed about maths, physics, etc. All my life, but I remembered one time, when i was 20 years old, at university, when i went to sleep after failing to solve a differential equation. I dreamed about the problem and solved it in my dream, i woke up and did it on paper and it worked!! That has been one of the moat surreal experiences with my dreams.
Love how he distinguished vivid dreams from the drug enhanced state, the warning 15 years in advance of brain disease; the last part about death brought me to tears! Really beautiful
Thank you. I kept watching because of this post. Sweet dreams to you.
I just figured everyone had dreams knowing they were dreaming while in the dream.But I dream things before they take place in life .. that I knew was a gift .Unfortunately, it is mostly when something unfortunate is about to happen. I have dreamed about someone I haven't seen in a long while..then I see them or they call me .I have many dreams that I know are messages to my awake life .Sometime dreams are so real. I think we could actually be traveling through worm holes to another reality.
Yes, it has been posited that we live many lives simultaneously across time, and time is a persistent illusion, which explains why so many of us dream of the future. It's actually very common, but yes some seem to be more adept than others. If we dream of an alternate life there is a chance to help 'each other' in our soul growth.
@@deniseoverbey6611 I believe that when we leave this earth, there are many more dimensions and lives to live. We don’t really die but cast off a used shell or shed our body in order move forward.
All my troubled dreams are about extreme frustration; can’t reach someone to save them, can’t get attention for help, etc. Paying attention to dreams can be very revealing.
SAME! Exactly the same for me, I try to talk but I can’t get my words out, I try to call but can’t dial the phone…
Me too its really upsetting at times i wake up and want to burst into tears
Me too always can’t do something whatever I do .
Can’t find my shoes when someone is waiting for me in the driveway .
Can’t find my way out of a building etc It always wakes me
This usually means you feel you’re not in control over some aspect of your life.
@@victoriajalepeno5755 Control is an illusion. We really have very little control over what happens to us.
I had a dream about my mother where she was not fully clothed. She was in my backyard. She was on the ground sitting on her side… it was so vivid I could not shake it off. I took FMLA and traveled from Georgia to her in California. This was around the time of Covid. As soon as I set foot in her home, I realized that my dream was a true message. Few weeks later she had to have surgery for colon cancer. All praise be to God, it has been almost five years now, she made it through. I have never acted on a dream prior to that.
I dreamed of my late grandfather twice, and on both occasions he was in a gray field with blue skies and it was soooo peaceful, wished I could stay forever 😭
Anyone else have reoccurring dreams, about surviving, stratigizing, and outsmarting scenarios of alien invasions, tornados, and apocalypse... teeth falling out, can't run, can't find my car, problems trying to use my cellphone, can't get to food or vivid eating, being able to double jump like Mario Bros, 😊driving off a cliff, and a weird, particularly distinct house that I've never seen in this life before...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I've also had accurate prediction or premonition dreams... or having to go to sleep in my dream in order to wake up in "real" life...👀🤔
Yes to all! The premonition dreams - I have had what I know now are full on warnings of dangerous situations to come - unfortunately I didn't always take heed - and had to live in horror as my dream came true. They don't make much sense until it happens.
Yes, indeed! And the thing that blows my mind is that not everyone is having these kinds of dreams; also, not to neglect the dreams where everyone is relying on you to do something or some interesting person or group gives you advice and interacts with you - all while blending various known environments into novel environments. It’s always terrible when it’s the series of nightmares, though.
Dale Gribble does
Yes every night
Tornadoes, and I think it’s because I fear them. But as my life improves my vivid stressful dreams are decreasing.
When I was a kid, I could pick what I wanted to dream about. It was like a picture rolladex. I also learned to wake up when I had to go to the bathroom.
I could do that well into my twenties. Then, for some reason, I stopped. I had forgotten that. In my twenties, I think I started awake dreaming, but that takes a lot of concentration to get it started, and only lasts a short time before the brain takes over and forces sleep. I'm now 76. I think I'll try it again.
Same , i used to fly alot !
My sister told me when she was a kid she could change the type of dream she was having by moving her head like she was picking up radio signals
That i so fascinating.
You know your in trouble when you can go to the toilet in your dream 😂
I had a pregnancy termination due to major complications a few years ago and the days leading up to and just after it, I had dreams of the after where all the souls were passing through the underworld to meet with Anubis. He was standing above, looking down and watching the crowd of souls make their way to his meeting point, then he looked straight down at me and held eye contact for a few seconds before I woke up.
That was the most crazy deam I'd had in years.
I LOVE THIS. It’s so wonderful to hear more scientists/doctors speaking about traditionally “mystical” things from a scientific lens. Because there’s such a stigma around beliefs or ideas surrounding anything “magical” within science.
Sometimes after a very stressful day, if I can take a 5 min rest, I close my eyes and I'm almost asleep, I have a fast-flasing montage of random images and thoughts with words. Then I "wake up" and feel better. I refer to this state as sorting out my mental filing cabinet. Like a defrag. It's interesting!
I wish I could do that
It's quite common. It's called a LUCID dream. I haven't had a true lucidcdream in years. Supposedly, it's an between awake and sleep state. @mareezy
Same and I agree!
I also get this. Sometimes happens in meditation too.
Me too! While my brain defrags, I see faces of people I've never met flash quickly. I'm saying to myself, "Who are these people?"
When my daughter was very young she had strep throat over and over again. Every time she had the infection she would have night terrors. Once she had her tonsils out, the strep infection ended, and so did her night terrors. This talk was so interesting, and can see how the brain, or your dreams are trying to tell you something is wrong.
@DalecRussellI know Melissa is smoking hot but tryna rizz her up in RUclips comments is crazy work 😂
Has anyone else dreamed about a place, over and over until you recognized it in your dreams and knew your way around? A place you have never laid eyes on? It's like an alternate reality and I don't want to wake up...
I have, just like you say
I lucid dream EVERYNIGHT, it's not something I learned how to do, I just do it... but I don't dream reg off the wall dreams, I dream as if I'm in a parallel universe, I'm in my town , I have a job, frineds, I go out every sat night... it's crazy... I dont have a job in real life, or friends , or anything like that lol..I would really love to find a Dr that could scan me and fig out what's going on...I've learned how to recognize and stay in my lucid dreams... everything tastes really good, my body feels really good... I do feel pain...and other things in my body... I go to sleep in my dreams, and wake up in another dream, and play in that dream for a bit...this is so fascinating to learn about!!
ME TOO!!!
I lucid dream as well, it’s so fun! I have also gotten better at waking from a bad/boring dream and telling my brain to stop it and find something better 😂 and then I have a much better dream
I’m very similar, been doing this since I was about 8yo. I can control my dreams, they’re extremely vivid, sometimes I can’t tell if I’m still dreaming once I wake up. I also remember them every night. Also get sleep paralysis a LOT and can bring it on myself cuz I know certain things that create it after having it for so long. Basically, it’s as if I don’t actually get any sleep cuz my brain just doesn’t shut off and I often wake up more tired than when I went to bed cuz my dream was so active and exhausting lol
Me, too! It doesn’t happen all the time, but I have become quite familiar with certain aspects. I even have a house I like to go to. I remember things from last time and they just happen. If things get funny, I even have a place to hide (I can’t always control everything, sometimes nightmares sneak up in me…lol). I wish I could draw. This place is so real to me, I almost feel silly. I watched some show about cutting edge brain scanning technology which is trying to “record” images from dreams. The man actually showed a recording of a dream that had colors moving around…almost vaguely in a humanesque motion. It didn’t look like much, but the implications nearly knocked me out of my chair. Could you IMAGINE someday being able to show someone your crazy ass dream like a YT video?!!
What if, it’s your second life. I’m a parallel universe. When you sleep here, you are awake there and vice vasa. Try to get dates and look at the stock market it could help your life here. That would be so cool
I don’t remember having a nice dream. I am constantly terrorised by violent nightmares, (school shootings, terrorist attacks, etc) and I am always the victim in those dreams. After one year in therapy I found out that this is because I carry a lot of anger in me, and having intrusive thoughts about something horrible happening to me or people I love. I’m working on it now. 😊 this is a great episode. Thank you
I had anxiety dreams when young. Never nightmares. Dream reveal our emotions to us - life long. Pay attention to how dreams make you feel. They tell us about our daily emotions.
Sending sweet dreams to you.
@@lmiller1413 thank you, sweet soul 🙏🏼
If you eat a heavy food close to bed it might do that to you.
@@ainenilaoire Also strangely enough, eating bananas. I don't recall the active ingredient but it can lead to more vivid dreaming than you might like. I find magnesium at night helps a good night's sleep. Doctors don't study nutritional medicine much and it's a missed opportunity IMO.
I really respect someone who actually shows how grateful he is that he has the some privileges that others don't he is always thankful. He constantly recognizes these wonderful lil things in life we all take advantage of.
I will try everyday to repeat my blessing and being thankful for everything
My dreams are strong and deeply meaningful. I could never miss a night of sleep.
Don't have kids haha
I had brain surgery 22 years ago. Two nights ago I dreamt I was experiencing brain surgery. I was aware of those doing their best to do good work. I don't think I've ever slept so deeply. I felt completely rested upon waking. I wonder why it took so long for me to redream that surgery. I can only presume that it was a good dream, implying that something is finished. It's a completion dream and positive. I think that I intuitively understand the psychological meaning. ❤ Dreams are magic. I've been studying my dreams for 50 years.
maybe it meant some beings or perhaps your brain itself was "fixing itself" to help you sleep better...
You would love the Dream Interpretation Podcast on RUclips and Apple Podcasts. 😊
Wow! I had brain surgery 22 and half years ago and since then, I have been so good with my health so far. Thanks to the grace of the Almighty. I dream a lot , but not good in interpreting them.
I'd want to ask myself the question: "What in your waking life do I feel I have completed?"
"Epic/Excessive dreaming". THANK YOU for giving my vivid, multiple dreams per night a diagnosis. I wake up more tired than before I went to sleep. A lot of times I look at the time during waking hours and during dreams to confirm if I'm awake or dreaming.
As a psychiatric nurse, I often wonder if my delusional patients are stuck in some sort of dream state...
Leonardo Dicaprio was in the movie Inception.
He was in the movie Inception.
@@susanfudge1737 He was and at the end of the movie his delusional azz thought he was in the real world but the spinning top wouldn't stop spinning so his AZZNADO was wrong.
Trying to resolve things in the dream world because the real world hasn't been safe for them?
And you can't resolve anything without executive functions in the awake world.
There's a theory that suggests psychosis is related to active REM whilst awake.
I have always dreamed in colors
I have always dreamed of doing math, road directions (maps), flying, and also relatives who have passed. Still today, I can recall probably 95% of my dreams my entire life to this day. They have had a profound effect on my life
Like Dr Chatterjee, Dr Jandial is very humble. He keeps saying he is open to learning and accepts other people's opinions. In many cultures, dreams are important components of navigating life and in some cultures there are scholars for interpreting dreams. It is fascinating. New scientific discoveries only want to make me study religions in depth and get closer to God.
So true. Never thought about it until now ... Fascinating 😊
I paint the people I meet in my dreams. And all the dreams I have are very positive and uplifting
so, your dreamworld is just like facebook. fascinating.
You may some time meet the people you've painted❤❤❤❤
I'd love to see you work. That's beautiful. :)
My canvas would be blank…😂
@@amber588same!
I realized that my dreams weren’t aimless and it changed my life forever. I had dream I walked in a door and was facing a hallway in an office building. I woke up and never thought anything about it. 3 months later I was asked to close an office in a city that I had never been through. I drove down with my supervisor and we walked through the door of the building and I immediately froze. It was the exact same hallway. It had all the windows of the offices and even the bend was the same. Only difference was the color of the walls; in reality they were a peach and in my dream they were white
this happened to me so meny times... i dream about something and that come into reality... but no one believs on me they think I'm delusional... but my dreams became true so meny times
I do the same thing. I've dreamed of people having car accidents then it happens. I dreamed about all my children and grandchildren before the were born. I think I've even dreamed about my own death. It's really scary at times.
@@theguru7654nobody believed me either or if I was right I was a witch (my mother) but they can't understand unless it happens to them.
People like to say "no one's ever gonna figure out dreaming". Well, I'm not that pessimistic. We're well on our way, learning new things by the day, and this guy is one of many on the forefront of these discoveries 👌💖✌️✨️💜
This conversation is awesome! So refreshing to be able to watch two very intelligent people discuss a topic that can expand its understanding without acting like we got it all figured out. Thank you! I wish others follow your lead to have discussions instead of swapping data points acting like the experts.
I'm a data scientist and often if I can't find a solution to a problem at work, I will dream all night long about attempting to solve the problem. I will often come up with my best solutions that way!
Powerful intuition
Listening to this trying to sleep
My dreams are usually mission impossible like dreams. Escaping/battling/stabbing zombies, adventures in the city, back in college (unprepared), lose my car, in car or bike that falls apart, strangers turning into people I've known, animals & past pets, my passed away dad levitating in spirit realm, usually twilight, black or gray sky, sometimes raining, tsunamis, black ocean, continuing & repeating dreams, fighting, flying high into outerspace then falling down hard, annoying issues with my mouth & teeth. I feel exhausted when I wake up!
I really admire something he mentioned. It was the discussion about the Non-REM sleep transition, or Hypnagogic time, and the routine to help transition better and remember dreams... He mentioned having the "luxury of having a bed.* Someone with his success and the intense career he has to also take time to be aware that it's 100% a blessing to sleep in a bed. That sentence he said speaks a lot. Not many people I listen to that have his knowledge, career, ect also view things like. Also, this video is awesome and I'm going to look for the first book along with this one, I'm in school for psychiatry Neuro-biology, still got a long ways to go😅 but this is mind blowing info that's motivating
That’s a very intelligent observation from you and him…❤
Such a lovely observation. Shows he is an empath.
I’m so jealous. Studying neurobiology must be so incredible. Good luck🙂
So many doctors seem so fake but this Dr is so genuinely humble and humanly interested and fascinated with life.
I have been a vivid dreamer all my life. I talk in my sleep and act out dreams. I threw myself out of bed a couple of times. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2022.
I dream every night and can recall my dreams back to my husband the following day. Some dreams are so vivid I can recall the whole dream, at others times it’s more snippets of the dream and the recall expands over the next days/weeks. I also dream things that happen in the future.. Sometimes it takes years for it to manifest.
Yes :).
Happens every day, even during a quick unexpected powernap
I had a beautiful lucid dream 3 days ago (I often have them). I was on a mountain divided into three peaks(that ) and I met two people dressed in ancient attire like Vikings, carrying bundles of wood on their backs. I was truly awake within the dream and I could touch the rock (I still remember the sensation). At a certain point, I turned to one of them with lighter hair and said, "I feel great here, breathing wonderful air and warmth. I can see night and day together, the sea at the base of the cliffs, and I can hear and see with the same eyes as the eagles circling above. Please don’t make me wake up; I want to stay here."
At this point, he turned, looked me in the eyes, and said, "You want to know the origin of life and things; you have been searching for it for a long time." He took the pickaxe to his right, cracked a piece of rock, took a piece, and said to me, "Look inside here; in it is Chaos and Order, the origin." At that point, a warm, intense light emanated from within it, covering everything. Then I was forcefully transported into a room where black goo was dripping from a mirror. The void that came from it said to me, "It generates the dark side that sticks to the soul and regenerates infinitely." Unfortunately, I then woke up...I recognized that mountain in a video by chance two days later at an event, and it’s in Norway.
Love it!
So glucose is necessary for the brain to properly dream?
Ionce dreamt of some 40 circling vultures flying 200 mts above me and I knew i was dreaming of my school in the highghlands close to Medellin where I used to be a teacher … 7 days later the very same scene occurred in the real life! then I dreamt of a flood and a water channel which really occurred 7
months later in Pereira Colombia!!!!
I have MANY instances of dreaming places only to recognize them in videos a day or two later. It freaks me out and I convince myself that it's not some mystical explanation but more so that I must have watched a similar video before and the algorithm just fed me more of the same that hit that deja vu nerve. But I also wonder if it is a side effect of being in a simulation and some super computer feeding me copies in dream and wake. Thanks for sharing! It's so interesting to know others experience similar things in dreams.
What a beautiful lucid dream. You need to make that the opening paragraph of a fantasy book. It would be amazing
This assertion has been around for many, many years, that we sleep to dream. It is grand that this person lives during a time when the instruments are available to actually obtain data for the review and discussion of this topic. Thank you for this video.
I've always thought and believed that dreams were your body's way of giving you a movie so that it could get to work in fixing and cleaning out your organs shuffling through the thousands and millions of memories formed each day... And sometimes the dreams were actually about the issue you were having...
Who else can smell and taste and feel the elements in their dreams?
I have all the senses I have in real life.
Full color, full stereo, all senses, and the wind is amazing when flying. I get to hang out with my friends and family who have passed, it’s beautiful. We have a blast playing and going on adventures. What the heck will we get into tonight? Can’t wait!
Yep
I have had ‘ dreams ‘ which were so vivid, some lucid, that, to this day, I do not know, if these had been dreams or ‘a real happening’, that I could have ‘lived’ in a different or ‘parallel life ‘
I dream both in B/W and colour ( Black and white dreams are usually more artistically, hauntingly beautiful )
Some dreams, from a decade or even 2 decades ago, sometimes emerge while I'm awake. The feelings those dreams evoked, emerge with the recollection. These aren't necessarily the dreams I wrote down. Anyone? Thank you, good doctors. I love this podcast!
That happens to me too. It doesn't feel like deja vu. It feels different than that.
Yes.
I hate dreaming most times. They are so vivid. Feels so real. I can even change situations in my dreams if i don't like what's going on. I get rest but still is so tired because i dream the whole time.
I can also taste, feel, and smell in my dreams.
And most of my dreams aren't bad. I just don't like how real they feel. It's scary to me. Feels like I'm living in another matrix
@@BiancaGriffin-z7s you aren’t alone, that’s what I feel gave me sleeping problems
I have remembered my dreams since I was 3 years old. I Remember then every night. Whenever i close my eyes I dream.
Same
But not my dreams are nightmares
I used to fear sleeping
That is incredible....
I have been extra stressed lately and I had an alien invasion dream last night. It was wild totally movie worthy.
I had an alien invasion dream too the other day. It was AI being the Aliens, controlling all humans. I also thought it was completely movie worthy 🤣 I wish one could record dreams!
Lol could it be all of us who have this dream lately are being told by God, universe, or or own subconscious mind that we must gear up just in case the everyday lives we live are faced with it in reality?
I notice all these comments we all some sort of adhd, cptsd (myself included), depressions or have battled hardship in one way or another or what our culture seems as easy aka “oh turn in a deadline and if you forget it’s your fault for not taking adhd meds” or “oh you were assaulted or robbed at gun point or can’t pay the light bill that’s on you” by our individualistic culture really everywhere right now primarily as a USA resident lol.
@@Less_Or_More_RikaI had a dream inside a dream about 2 teen Alien future human looking, landing and wanting to abduct me.Insanely vivid and interesting dream that i felt it was so true especially when i woke up to find myself that this wasnt a dream and then i woke up again lol.
For nine months after fleeing from DV into an even more horrific situation, I couldn't sleep and it nearly killed me. Fortunately, I was able to document all of it and I'm trying to produce a book on my experiences... it's tough, since I'm still recovering almost six years after escaping the shelter. I ONLY JUST started recalling my dreams again... about six months ago. I saw it as a sign that my health was returning.
Sorry what is DV?
@@Hannabarberajthink of a romantic relationship where your partner hits you.
Domestic Violence
@@trinleywangmo happy for you that you escaped!
3 months after we lost out son to SIDS. I had been praying asking why he took our son, that i was angry with him (god) for this. I did this repeatedly. Than 1 night I had a dream I was holding him. He was smiling and laughing. In my dream I knew he was deceased and I held him so tight and didn't want to let go, i was crying sad and happy tears. My alarm went off, I woke up with tears and a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders and I was finally able to pick my self back up and start moving forward.
I could listen to this man all day, wish it was longer, fascinating subject.
Me too!
As a dreamworker in SoCal I absolutely love this interview. This provides a much larger perspective on the intelligence of dreams. Thank you!
I'm 66, almost 67. I had vivid dreaming much more when I was younger. I have had two dreams that were very unlikely, come true. I have awakened during a particularly good dream and decided I wanted to go back into it and did. I dreamed several times being a flying being, running down a runway, flapped my arms, and took off. The overall theme of most of my dreaming is searching for something via various modes of travel, looking for something, or running from someone with evil intent. Few nightmares. Very strange indeed.
Whenever I’m struggling to make a decision or come up with a solution I turn it over to my subconscious and stop thinking about it. Sure enough, within a few days, I have a dream that provides the perfect answer.
@@Hoots522 I do this too
How you turn into subconscious mind?
When I was in junior high and taking typing, I typed in my dreams night after night, driving me crazy. Ever since I have been an excellent typer.
Typist 😂
I totally believe you. I used to dream speaking French and German. I would literally speak them so well lol at that time I was doing translations in both those languages. Now that I’m interested in fashion I find myself dreaming of outfits and different looks it’s crazy lol
This happens every time I learn things.
When I play solitaire I dream about numbers falling from large to small. It usually happens early in the night before the “story” dreams start.
Oh my gosh! I'm not the only one! My brain was typing 24 hours a day. 56 and still typing like a maniac, LOL!
I've never seen a man with such striking looks...
Wow.
Now I'm going to listen to him.
Both, looks and voice 😊
He's a dream 😂
Smokin'!
You only see brain surgeons that look like that on soap operas !!!!
Lol 😂
My family has told me my entire life that I need to keep a dream journal and write a book. My dreams are so real to me that I can't tell I'm dreaming. I've woken up feeling lost as if I am in the wrong house or I recognize the house but it doesn't seem like mine. I've also had dreams so detailed and real I have talked about it years later thinking it's a legit memory. It's insane the way I dream.
This is so interesting. Are you a very creative person?
@@Ann-MD I very much am and musicly too.
I love dreams! My dad passed 13 years ago and every now again God lets me see and hug him in my dreams. It’s simple wonderful!
I am prone to seizures ( I have brain cancer) I was on the fence about getting the covid vaccine but I felt pressure to do so. I made an appointment but that night I dreamt when the nurse gave me the vaccine , I hit the floor seizing so I said no thanks!
For many years I had a serious, undiagnosed heart problem. Several times a week. I would dream I was trying to call the doctor or the rescue squad. I kept getting the number wrong, etc and was never able to make contact. Years later when I got a diagnosis, I realized my brain knew what was happening and was trying to get my attention.
It’s God
The subconscious has a very difficult time communicating with us but if we learn to see the signs we can get better and better at listening to it.
@@dream-analysisUKour subconscious is not intelligent but only by what we feed it. The only answer Is God deposits his words to us in parables that’s why most dreams need decoded in the same way.
@@Jacob96wv For the sake of this conversation, I prefer to use the word unconscious, as far as I understand it, the unconscious is everything thing we don't know, an even things that we can't even conceive that we don't know, and that might well include 'God' although the G word is not something that sits well with me, as many different faith groups apply many different meanings to to their particular version of God. Where I feel we have common ground is,: SOME of our dreams contain wisdom from a deeper intelligence that has our back. If you want to call it God you can, but personally I feel this source of intelligence is far more mysterious than what people tend to pin on their version of God. The very nature of the unconscious is mystery and there is no possible way to intellectually understand it.
@@dream-analysisUK if i told you a hundred things you could prove true with evidence then i told you a hundred things you could not prove. Would you trust me on the things you could not prove since i didn’t have a reputation of lieing to you? That’s what God did with the Bible. It’s hitstorically and locationally accurate . That’s why i trust his intelligence . I’ve also experienced him first hand in telling me things or showing me things in dreams and it comes to pass. His name is Jesus. “For God speaketh once, Yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men, In slumberings upon the bed; Then he openeth the ears of men, And sealeth their instruction,”
Job 33:14-16 KJV
Two things popped into my mind when the doctor mentions how people began dreaming more in color once color tv came out. The book, THE GIVER, which is also in movie form, a novel which shows about learning to see color (evolving beyond the hive mind). Also the film PLEASANTVILLE, which also begins in B&W, but slowly introduces color. Both are fascinating stories.
Excellent point and incredible connection. I thought that was a fascinating bit of information, too.
I'm certain people dreamed in colour before film was invented 🙄
I often start dreaming right after falling asleep. I can get the wildest dream during a 10 min nap. It's great.
Also, I don't remember having many nightmares. I can recall maybe 1 or 2. But I remember many great, very vivid and realistic dreams.
Another interesting thing is that I've been having a very realistic dream my entire life where I'm being chased by people (police/paparazzi, fans, etc). It kind of feels like I'm famous, but I'm still trying to figure out who I am in that dream. The older I get, the more answers I get about the whole story. It's like living a 2nd life in that dream, but it unfolds slowly like in a movie.
I love playing with dreams and finding "hacks" to get more vivid dreams. I found that if I take a nap between 16:00 and 19:00, I get the wildest, most realistic dreams. It gets to the point where I wake up thinking, "What did just happen?" and it feels like it actually happened.
My theory is that you are the most relaxed at that time because it's too early to "worry" about the next day (work etc) so my brain is 100% relaxed and that allows it to go wild with my imagination/dreaming.
Dreams are fascinating
A good friend lives a second life in his dreams. He's in his 60s & this has gone on for decades. Also he can fall asleep & go into this dream state in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately it's very disturbing for him, but fascinating all the same.
normal people do not enter REM until around 90 minutes. If you are dreaming this fast and can do it during a nap then you may have narcolepsy.
That time frame fits for me too. It's weird because I wake up not knowing where I am because of the dream. I don't get the same when I nap between 1300 and 1500.
That’s more like me
@@banditabout9749 they're probably just not getting enough sleep sleep
My dreams are truly frightening and how real they feel.
Trying journaling your dreams. It exposes them, and they lose their intensity. Your conscious mind will help the subconscious process them. ❤
I have learned to wake my self up from these type of dreams. Look into it. It can be done!
@@jillmorriss9281 Lucid dreaming. Good for you. That connection feels wonderful. 💖
I usually do not remember my dreams.
When I was a young child, I had a recurring nightmare. I recall that one.
One dream I will not forget was when I composed a symphony in the dream. I love music, but I am no composer. Yet it was beautiful, and the feeling was amazing.
I would suggest reviewing the studies of the Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS) is a research unit within the Department of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences a University of Virginia’s School of Medicine for possible explanations for your dreams.
@@fieldweber9943 Thank you for the suggestion!
I want a dream like that. Sounds amazing.
I have heard symphonies in my dreams. Not recently tho.
@@fieldweber9943😢
After I experienced an extreme trauma, I couldn’t go to sleep as normal, but would pass out and be out for four hours. During that time, I had no dreams. My eyes would open at four a.m. I would not remember the trauma for a moment or know where I was, but as the reality of what had happened began to hit me, an electric, hot sensation would travel down my arms. And then the sobbing would come. This went on for months. I knew I was healing when dreams began to come again. In retrospect, I believe my brain was helping me escape the trauma for a bit each day. That was 12 years ago. Yesterday, I saw someone who was important to me at the time of the trauma that I hadn’t had contact with since. That night, I dreamt I was in a desert and a sand-colored snake that I could barely detect rose from the sand and bit me on my arm above my wrist. I couldn’t get it off of me, so I wrapped the entire snake around my arm with a cloth. There was no pain. Weird.
I used to study in my sleep and work math problems. I've gone to bed after trying and failing at a math problem and woke up with the answer. I'm usually in an empty lecture hall with a big green chalkboard and a bunch of chalk or I'm in a huge empty library with a really nice notebook and a smooth pen.
I also read and do maths in my dream. I can write too and sometimes I visit world where languages are symbols and I can understand it. It’s so cool. I dream every night and remember 97% of my dreams since I was like 8yrs old. Sometimes I can actually remember how my dreams start or choose scenarios in my dream void scape.
When I was around 10, we had fireworks, one of them wouldn’t light that night I dreamed of how to reconfigure the wick. And it worked, so I do think that the brain helps us to problem solve.
Ever heard the expression “Sleep on it?” When you can’t solve a problem?
I can dream 2 to 3 dreams a night, I believe it relates to the same thing that is trying to make it clear to us, just in different ways..... I truly believe it's a spiritual language, it's trying to tell us things or direct us... I live by the guidance of my dreams.. It's real.. I believe it's symbolic, not literal. That is my experiences...
Lol
I taught myself to wake up if my logical thought during my dream said this isn’t serving a purpose or it is unpleasant.
I visit new places, meet new people in my dreams. Often, I revisit places that only exist in my dream. Sometimes I wake up and when I go back to sleep next, the dream continues like part 2 of a movie. I wonder if it's another life I'm living in my dreams or if it's a glimpse of an alternate reality.
I too revisit places that only exist in my dreams. Some are so beautiful and realistic it’s hard not to go there.
A brother of my first boyfriend, who was also one of my brother's good friends recently died. I didn't know him, only thru my b/f. A couple days after i heard of his passing, he came to me in a dream. I called him up, why i don't know, and he was crying. He told me he was upset everyone forgot his birthday. 😢
It's sad if the only thing people make notice of is the day you left this world, not the day you began this life. A birthday confirms a life. A death date only confirms you don't exist.
Why don't you celebrate his birthday? You can still do that. Even if you do it alone. 🙂
@@yourtransformationgenieI did this for my mama,
I love this. I concur, as a behavioral and mental health care practitioner, I will say that EMDR is exactly what happens during the dreaming or sleep process. It heals us, recharges us, and answers our most critical questions about ourselves as human; spiritual beings. Awake is the secondary consciousness, as opposed to sleep, EMDR, or even certain psychoactive chemicals that are or induce the primal consciousness - where we can actively remedy our whole being.
I lucid dream a lot. Always have since I was small. I can sometimes control my dreams and make choices and have conscious thoughts that I remember when I wake up
I propose that a falling dream can represent a lack of complete synaptic response. I only say this because my father who suffered from early onset Alzheimer’s in his mid 40’s would mention that he had a repetitive dream that he was falling and never hit the ground
Wow, that makes perfect, logical sense! I hope these doctors see your comment. It would be fascinating to hear their thoughts on it 😊
I had a dream about falling and hit the ground.And I didn't tie despite the myth.
I have had falling dreams since I was a small child and I'm old and still have them on occasion. And I have never met someone who hasn't had that same kind of dream before.
I used to dream nightly then my father died suddenly (this was twenty years a go) I quit remembering my dreams. I maybe only remember one or two a year. I wonder why?
This is exactly what I was looking for. I haven't had a vivid falling dream in a while. But I used to dream I fell right through the mattress. Freaky 😮😮
I love that the medical profession is finally having discussions around these topics, but for many many years people have come into their lives already knowing all this, teaching all this without fancy scans and tests. We don’t need validation from academia who has for centuries burned people at the stake for this wisdom. These credentials no longer impress me and haven’t for some time now
It's not the "credentials" that are impressive. I've been waiting a long time for East (mind) to meet West (mind) in a serious way. I am certainly apprehensive about how these newly created constructs will be applied. But for now, I'm enjoying the new mix.
I fell asleep listening to this, and became a part of the dialogue. My hypothesis (from the dream) is that dreams are scripted before we sleep and need to play out, hence the sleep pressure to get computer time. Also, the observer in the dream is not the writer, explaining the frequent elements of surprise.
I wrote most of my term papers while in college during sleep. All A’s. 😊
What do you mean by writing during sleep? I’m curious
@@Prettywins I don’t know how it works - I would dream about the content of papers I was working on, wake up, go straight to a word processor (I’m old) and type up what I had composed in my dreams. I seemed to have insights during sleep that stayed with me when I awoke.
I think many writers say the best time to write is in the morning. More accurately, maybe they should say, "The best time to write is after sleeping."
I suffered trauma as a child, i had anxiety that was never addressed. I had the same dream going into a house, every room needed decorating or structural damage. Getting therapy helped and I kept returning to the same house and decorating room by room. There was a room I saw but I didn't want to go, but i knew that was the room that was too much. I finally got to the room and dug threw dirt and soil with my hands, I was really distressed, but I had such a wonderful experience I uncovered a beautiful burning fire pit and a wonderful waterfall. I have not dreamed of that house again. I understood my anxiety and now and live a better life. If I need a solution to something I have a good chat with myself before bed. I also believe in God and ask for my answers. It's. Working
