Dr. Matt Walker: The Science of Dreams, Nightmares & Lucid Dreaming | Huberman Lab Guest Series
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- This is episode 6 of a 6-part special series on sleep with Dr. Matthew Walker, Ph.D., a professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley and a leading public educator on sleep for mental and physical health, learning and human performance. In this episode, we discuss dreaming, including the biological mechanism of dreams, what dreams mean and their role in daytime life.
We explore how dreams can enhance our creativity and emotional well-being and help us resolve various challenges and dilemmas. We discuss how to remember and interpret your dreams and the abstractions/symbols frequently present in dreams.
We also discuss nightmares and therapies to treat reoccurring nightmares. We explain what lucid dreaming is and if there are benefits or drawbacks to this type of dreaming.
Dr. Walker also answers frequently asked audience questions and discusses snoring, body position, sleep supplements, sleep challenges due to aging, menopause, stopping racing thoughts, and how to fall back asleep if you wake in the middle of the night.

So sad this series is over 😢 we love you Dr Walker! You two together is truly the perfect gift
This has to be one of the best guest series so far. Dr. Matt Walker is a legend 👏🏼
Outstanding series I-VI. Matt's book Why We Sleep is equally outstanding and echos this series. Highly recommended for those of us with any sort of sleep issues. I only wish Mr. Walker would have spoke to Andrew's comment about using L-Theanine in the supplements section.
I'm on my way to a PhD about lucid dreaming in medicine faculty and I've dreamt about this episode for so long ! Thanks a lot for all your podcasts.
That's pretty amazing! Do you have linkedIn I can follow you on ?
Send your ig @ so we can follow your work
Can I ask I am a lucid dreamer who is undergrad hoepful for med can you tell me more about this stephane and how you were able to do this?
Amazing work! Will follow your work!
how can we follow your work
You two are the dream team of neuroscience. Thank you both for your unending effort, time, and dedication to providing public education!!!

Thanks Dr. Huberman and Dr. Walker for this amazing 6-part series on sleep! 👍
My quick summary: Good sleep is essential for optimal health and performance 😴💪
To achieve good sleep, strive for QQRT: Quantity + Quality + Regularity + Timing. ⏰
How to get QQRT? 🤔
1. Determine your chronotype (morning, evening, intermediate) 🌞🌙
2. Schedule a 7-9 hour time window for sleep that matches your chronotype ⏲
3. Keep the start of that window (your bedtime) the same every day, including weekends 📆
4. Set an alarm 30-60 minutes before your bedtime. Turn down the lights, stop engaging in activities that elevate alertness or stress. Instead, do things that relax you. Such as reading, meditating, yoga, journaling, physiological sighs, etc. Whatever works for you 💡🛌
5. Take a hot shower or bath 🚿
6. Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet ❄🌑🤫
7. Once in bed, don’t try to force sleep. Let it come to you 😴
8. If you can’t sleep after 20-25 minutes and feel anxious, or if you awaken at night and can't get back to sleep, get up and repeat step 4 until you feel relaxed and sleepy again. Then repeat step 7 🔄
9. If possible with your daily obligations, awaken naturally, without an alarm 🌅
10. Get outside as soon as possible and get natural sunlight in your eyes ☀
11. Exercise 🏃♂
12. Drink coffee, but stop ingesting caffeine around noon ☕
13. When really needed, take a nap of max 20 minutes. The earlier in the day the better, to avoid disrupting your sleep pressure at night 💤
14. Ideally, in the evening, get outside again, for the sunset 🌇
15. Repeat 😊🔄

Also don't have caffeine for 90-120min After waking to allow your body to wake up naturally. (If possibile)
Fantastic. Thank you very much !
This is brilliant, thank you. And yes pls
Yes pls give a summary of all six episodes
Excellent.
For me I actually feel 10x more refreshed when I have amazing lucid dreams, I'm always so amazed by the places I go and the things I see that it just fuels me for the next day
I have been lucid dreaming for almost 30 Years now and let me tell you after doing it many many times I have come to the conclusion that I have conditioned my brain that I cannot stop them now. And now I have been having out of body experience that are pretty amazing. Also my dreams feel more real then some of my waking moments as far of touch,taste and smells. I can go back into the same dream even after waking up. What a great podcast
Heyoo. Can you travel to me and tell me I’m dreaming in a dream? Would appreciate it
Can you tell us more about your experience.. thanks.
would love to hear more of your experiences
me too❤

Lucid dreaming is the most useful yet underrated skill you can learn.
Why do I say this?
Benefits include solving problems, getting rid of fears and anxieties, more creativity, euphoria and even building other skills.
Plus it's the most fun you'll ever have. It often feels just like real life as well, you can even live out some of your craziest fantasies like being in your favorite movies or shows.
Though it can take a while to practice and there is a LOT of misinformation about it literally everywhere.
A good channel here on RUclips dedicated to lucid dreaming is lucid dream portal, accurate concise information and even debunking of common myths.
Another good channel that doesn't really upload anymore is giz edwards.
I truly think everyone should learn how to lucid dream
How do you do it??
@MrFrak0207 It's a bit complicated to fully explain in detail but basically you just neer rwo things, reality tests and a dream journal.
I recommend checking out tutorials from lucid dream portal and giz edwards for more in depth information. You could also try reading some scientific articles about it
My Lucid dreaming feels very much like I’m directing a movie, I’ll do retakes if I didn’t like an outcome and change things etc. sometimes I’m not even in the dream, it’s more like behind a camera.
How do we know our life isn’t a constant lucid dreaming experience?
It's funny that this podcast is about science, yet I keep finding so many deep spiritual links to everything you describe. Our universe and human experience is amazing!!
I just had a really vivid dream, very connected to my real life. And it made me extremely curious about dreams. I go on RUclips and I see this. .Amazing.
It's way more interesting than people give it credit for

It’s more than a bromance, my brother. These dudes are wrestling in mud and oil nude together
I'm addicted to this combination, please bring him back
I keep a dream journal and the connection I made to my life and dreams is that they will carry the same theme. So if in my life I’m feeling shame, sadness, stress…my dream will tell a story carrying that theme. Thank you for this series! Fascinating material and lots of personal questions answered. 🙏🏽
What a wonderful human Matt Walker is, can't be grateful enough to him for popularizing sleep science!
Matt Walker and Andrew Huberman! Absolute dream team not only as literally the content is about dreams but also in the poetic and passionate articulation of such interesting and critically important science. I really appreciated this series.
Thank you both. 😴🌞🌿🌱

Great series! Thank you for honoring menopause as not being synonymous with aging. For one thing women's bodies are different! And peri-menopause starts much earlier than many people realize. It's not necessarily happening in old people, it can start at least in the 30s in some cases. Women's health needs so much more attention. We're different from men, but that doesn't make us abnormal - it's normal for us to have bodies that change constantly, and that give us really important information about our minds and emotions because of our need to be aware of our physical nature - if we pay attention and take care of ourselves.
What an entirely lovely guy Dr Matt is! Few YT series have I enjoyed more, or learnt as much about my health, as these sleep videos. Not the least also, because of the proper chuckles I've had at seeing just how much you smile and laugh in this video series 🙃
Been waiting for this. The way Matt talks is as fascinating as his insights. Kudos to both of you. Love this series
Bro don't be posting a pic of your kid as a RUclips profile pic, that is insane
I know right? It's almost as if he was painting with his words. As a very visual person, it is very refreshing.

Sleep is the SWISS ARMY KNIFE of HEALth'... sweeeet DREAMSTEAM👣💤👁🧠💗
I’m only 36 and have had insomnia for 8 or so years, such a painful experience, I hope we eventually find some kind of off switch without repercussions. Appreciate what you guys do!
Phenomenal series! Thank you so much Dr. Walker for your research and Andrew for your podcast.
And as a lucid dreamer since six years old, I agree that despite that lucid dreaming is an amazing nightly adventure it doesn’t give me a deep rest and usually I am tired on the following day. And lately my dreams are extremely sharp and I remember the face details, the mannerism and words spoken by my participants and the streets and surroundings, EVERYTHING is sooo vivid beyond HDTV. Actually, some nights I am choosing not to remember my dreams and it's working and I am waking up more rested and ready for the day. Thanks Dr. Walker for the tools.
You are the best at what you do Andrew Huberman. Thank you

Always thanks to you Dr huberman and Dr Walker
¡Hola Profe!Just wanted to express my deepest gratitude to You and Dr. Walker for a brilliant series on sleep. So much knowledge, helpful advice and wisdom all in one series. Thank You for Your hard work and care for all of us.
No matter how much positive is put out into this video, people will always find something negative to say. It's so sad! This video is very impactful. Thank you @Huberman
Watched all 6 episodes. Substantial amount of knowledge absorbed. Both are striving intellectuals in thier respective fields, credit to both Doctors.
I'm so excited to see this have it's own segment. Lucid dreaming is one of the most fascinating things about life and it gets such little spotlight. There is so much potential within Lucid dreaming when approached intentionally and consistently
Dr. Huberman and Dr. Walker have a longing bromance going on with each other. So sweet. ❤❤ Thank you both!!
The last few nights, I’ve ruminated about lucid sleep. I’ve been interested in lucid dreaming for years but for some reason, this old fire has been reignited.
Unable to find entertainment with particulars that hit the spot, I’m super stoked to notice this video before bedtime.
I just want to think, listen and feel everything to do with lucid dreaming.. without having to divide or distract my attention .
SO STOKED to lay upon my fortress of pillows and sink deep into thought 😴 🧠
I have 8 years worth of Vivid dream journaling. I have a notebook & pen by the head of my bed so that when I wake up I could immediately write down everything I remember from my dream before it all slowly dissipates away. Some of the dreams I have today are replays of the dreams I've dreamt 5-6 years ago in the same exact way. While others are a continuation of dreams from where I left off. I try to paint an understanding of what these dreams are about but in the end it's just all randomness.
huberman is the goat!
I can't find words to thank God for you two guys ,thank you ,God bless you ❤
As always thank you Dr Huberman! Your knowledge science and wisdom are a gift to so many. What a great series and guest! After taking the “dream herb” trying to dream more and especially remember them and keeping a dream journal as well as grief journal after my husband’s horrible death thinking it might help or give me answers. But i decided there were few dreams that were ever helpful at all. Most left me at least analyzing and thinking more which i overdo anyway and most were simply very unsettling or disturbing. I decided my life is unsettling enough while awake and believe if there’s something to be worked out in my dreams it will be accomplished whether i remember them or not. So i take effort NOT to remember them after awaking. I hope stuff is getting worked out.
Indeed the best series. Truly a gift from both Dr.s! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experiences, studies/ research, insights and for the actionable recommendations for better sleep!!
Thank you Drs, for this series. I listened with attention to every single one and recommended them to all my friends. It has genuinely been one of the best 12+ hours I have spent this year. 💜
This series was Fantastic! Thank you Andrew & Matt!
I actually did not think I would enjoy a series better than Dr Conti. Last night I got a 90 sleep score, the night before I got a 94. I LOVE 'insomnia is unresolved emotions from the day' that makes so much sense. Thank you for educating us and improving my life
If I don’t sleep better after these six episodes it’s totally my fault. I’ve learned so much. Thank you both.
So much information in these 6 episodes and utilizing the suggestions throughout have brought about incremental improvements for which I’m so grateful. Of all of these I have found that 2 have made the most difference for me - understanding my chronotype (morning person and getting to sleep ½ hour earlier) and light - increasing in the morning, decreasing at night but most importantly for me was making the bedroom darker - I really thought the minimal light coming through the curtains from street lights wasn’t a big deal but lining the curtains was a game changer. My sleep is so much better with these two changes. So grateful for these podcasts.
Thanks for bringing us this wonderful series Dr Huberman. What a great guest you’ve had in Dr Walker. ❤
thank you for recording this beautiful series.
Can’t wait to watch this… Lucid dreaming… I’ve had a few and they are cool. Learning to interpret dreams has been something I’ve done not only for myself but others and your dreams can tell you so much about your current life and past but most important what’s coming
lucid dreaming has been scientifically proven to be real don't lump in "interpreting dreams" which is completely made up.
Thank you a lot... I never thought I would an interest in Science (general). For some reason, I now am even considering to study Neuroscience. All the way from South Africa.
Watched the whole series, massive thank you to Matt & Andrew. Invaluable.
thats so awesome, looking forward to doing the same
Thank you for your amazing content I havent felt this healthy or informed in years.
That study on people figuring out the maze was truly a-maze-ing
Dr Huberman, thank you for providing this wonderful series with Dr Walker. I listen to many of your podcasts but these special episodes have been fascinating. We all sleep but generally we give it very little consideration, unless we have insomnia- which I have suffered particularly while working in a very stressful job in the British Civil Service. I truly wish I’d had the opportunity to hear these podcasts many years ago. Thankfully, I’ve put some protocols in place and can report that I’m getting much better sleep. So, thank you Dr Huberman and thank you Dr Walker for sharing your knowledge, so beautifully. Kind regards Karen Williams
The mention of "lucid dreaming" was the biggest appeal of this podcast, but I was a bit disappointed that the conversation was superficial and didn't utilize the research on lucid dreaming already available. I love Andrew Huberman's work, and it would be inspiring to see more in-depth conversations with experts in the field of lucid dreaming, such as Dr. Stephen LaBerge, Dr. Benjamin Baird, and Dr. Ursula Voss. Thank you for the work you do to promote science!
Thank you! I have directly benefitted from this podcast in so many ways. You two gentleman have changed my life. And now I am a QQRT disciple.😂
Thank you for this incredible episode! I've filled two notebooks with notes from Dr. Huberman and his guests. I never realized how much I could enjoy science!
This series has been extremely interesting & beneficial. I’ve sent Ep 2 to friends. Today’s Q & A was helpful & I especially appreciate supplement info. Thank you, Dr Walker & Dr Huberman, so very much!
What an amazing series, so educational and soooo important. You have to love Dr. Walker's humour (I am from Europe so I understand it 😂). I really enjoyed it.
Andrew, Matt, thank you so so much for this wonderful series on sleep. It has been incredibly interesting and informative and I cannot wait to hear more on your collaborative study regarding NSDR. Sleep well!
1:52:50 Absolutely love the idea of using mental walks to "short circuit" the brain and fall asleep. Definitely going to start trying that out on sleepless nights.
I’ve been following you for sometime now and am so grateful for your channel! I’ve been doing a ton of research into lucid dreaming recently and so happy you did this episode❤
ASMR is strong with these two voices!
I just LOVE LOVE this series, what a treat having you both discuss so clearly - with a true exciting and endearing passion for neuroscience - this crucial topic! It's a wonderful gift to us, thank you!... I am looking forward to the "more to come"
Above and beyond.. enjoyed you both very much. Thank you.
Fascinating content Thank you AH and Dr. Walker👍🏻 My go to sleep aid after 29 years as a career firefighter is “Zolpidem”
Haven't listened yet...actually have put this whole series to the side so far but when I saw lucid dreaming I knew this would be the one. I got deep into the lucid dreaming rabbit hole years ago, like 8+ years and I still say to this day it's one of the coolest things I've ever done in my life. I wish everyone could experience it, its true sandbox mode but
Thank you so much for these 6 episodes, been gulty a bit for not having enough sleep so quality 8h sleep is all you need to know from these.
I once dreamt of a red square on a white background “all night long” when I was in design school. I woke up and it felt like I had been staring at this stationary red square - no movement, no scaling, no sound, literally nothing else - for eight hours straight. It was the worst nightmare I’d ever had up to that point. As far as I can remember I didn’t have any illicit substances (alcohol, thc) in my system either. Seriously, it was terrible. The second worst nightmare I ever had was on Ambien in a mental hospital. It was excruciatingly vivid: I thought my digestive system and other organs were made of metal. It was so fucked up. I never took Ambien again. Third worst nightmare was on trazodone, but I also had alcohol in my system, so I don’t mark it up to the trazodone, but rather the combo or alcohol and trazodone. Bad combo. Never drink on trazodone.
This has been an amazing series that I was looking forward to extremely. Thank you so much.
The goodbyes made me teary.
You guys rock.
This was amazing!
You can call yourselves "The Dream team!" No pun intended. 😊
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will come back to these episodes to continue to help me optimize my sleep. So tired of waking up around the same time no matter what I do.
Lots of actionable advise.
Thank you Dr. Matt and Dr. Huberman for such a wonderful and remarkable series on Sleep.
You won't believe my dream last night! 😴. I've heard my yoga teacher had troubles sleeping, so I'd told her to be regular, keep the room dark and cool, and everything else I had learned from listening to the previous five episodes with dr Walker. 😴
Thank you both so much!
And I think I'm going to buy 8sleep for my mother in law for her menopausal sleep issues.
I love this subject! Thanks for this video ❤
This series was 🎉 everything. As a person who has studied everything, I can get my hands on regarding sleep, I learned many more things I can use to improve my sleep life. We’ve been donating for a couple of years now for this very reason, this work. Way better than a PBS membership. As always, thank you for the work.
I love Matt's voice. I always fall asleep while listening to his audio book so I've never got beyond chapter 1 :P
Wonderful episode ❤. Thank you gentlemen.
Hi Andrew.
It's a request to upload all the latest and new insights driven from this series in a separate solo episode like the ones you did for fitness protocol and mental health series. I understand that you have already uploaded the relevant episodes from sleep already but doing a solo episode on the latest insights and researches on sleep would be tremendously helpful for all of us.
Thankyou ❤
The dream team!!! Thank you so much for shedding so much light to a dispair sleepless soul.. love the chemistry between you, will miss seeing you everyday on my way to work.. thank you for this valuable information
This was absolutely fascinating! The way Matthew Walker presented, explained and engaged in all these incredible topics was simply superb!
Yes I been trying lucid dreaming and this'll help
So sad to see the end of this series, absolutely loved every bit of it! Wonderful topic and wonderful experts
Amazing. I've thoroughly enjoyed this series, thanks so much guys!
Just today I had a lucid dream .I'm ready to learn.Thank you!!.
Hello Andrew. Thank you for all of the fascinating information that you are sharing on your podcast. Dr. Matt Walker is a great guest speaker. My question about sleep is... does sitting up in a chair, reclining back in the chair or lying down flat on a mat have a difference in sleep quality for the brain. For the body, lying flat would be best, but for the brain, it there a difference? Thank you
Thanks Dr. Andrei Huberman. Amazing.
He’s got a 13 incher as well
I have severe left hemisphere brain damage. There surely is a lot that you guys know that I’ll never experience but there is something I can tell you about dreams…. You are dreaming all the time but are only aware of them when your mind quiets at night. But you are dreaming right now and although you are not conscious of them they are effecting your behaviour.
I see my dreams and when I run through distant memories of the past each memory episode is paired with the daytime dream that goes with it and decisions I have on the fly pair with the dream.
Some of us are dreaming multiple dreams at the same time.
@@FoursWithin That’s true as well but I only experience the one.
They say there is at least four.
This is true, Carl Jung said the same thing.
Can you elaborate on the "dreaming all the time" part? How is it for you to be able to expirience dreaming during waking time?
@@hrabinajezowa When I am busy moving from one task to the next I am quite focused but when I stop the dreams are there, running in the background. I have problems with loosing my train of thought because my mind wanders in and out of the background dream and the foreground operational thinking. I drift one way and find trouble getting back. I don't have problems with my operational memory when I am in discussion, thank goodness.
You have to understand that the way I see things is normal to me so to understand my disability I have to study other people and that is an ongoing process.
Context: I was diagnosed at age 4, shortly after my head trauma with a left hemisphere of a two year old and right hemisphere of a six year old. The left was taking on the tasks of the right. My linguistic abilities regressed and didn't recover to the point were I could speak in sentences until age 7. I started to keep up with the other kids when I was around 10.
Thank you both so much for these wonderful podcasts. My whole family is focused on getting better sleep. I learned a lot and am grateful.
Thank you both so much for this series. I've learned a lot and picked up several ideas to improve my sleep. It's been really fun listening to you, too.😊
Not sure if I'm having a lucid dream right now, but this dude is definitely putting me to sleep.
Another top notch episode. I'm gladly appreciated to live in this time were people like you take the time to share and educate us with fantastic tools for the daily hardships. Thank you so much and God bless you guys and yours around.
Watched every minute of all six episodes and am in TEARS WITH GRATITUDE at the great gift from both of you. Words cannot express my thanks. I especially appreciate the list of supplements to try as age brings new pains which wake me up when I change position. 69 in San Diego.
Final episode !!! So excited just starting
Many years ago, I woke from a bad dream with my fingers prying my eyes open. I've had dreams since that were stressful (exams at school and can't find class or open locker, only waitress in busy restaurant, etc) and I tell myself in the dream that it's just a dream and walk away from whatever it is. I don't wake up but the dreams end. Can't remember the last time I've had a nightmare or bad dream. I love sleep 🙂
Couldn't love you guys more. This podcast is such a great platform for sharing wisdom. I only wish I were present at the dinner table for these conversations 💝
Thank you, so much, for this series. I’ve struggled with sleep for my whole life - constantly forcing myself to wake in fight-or-flight - over and again. I was waking at 3:30-4:00am, I doubt that I was dropping into deep sleep, very often.
The Mg Biglycinate and Apigenin protocol has been a game changer.
I still wake often - however, I am now able to get back to sleep for a cycle or two. Further, my morning gut punch of panic is far less intense and destabilizing.
I have been on this protocol for a couple of months. Not looking back.
Terrific series, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Massive thanks to you both
Thank you both for this series ! I thoroughly enjoyed it and really enjoyed witnessing your friendship. ☺️
I've always wanted to know the neuroscience of Dreaming, and these two brilliant minds finally answered so many queries regarding sleep and dreaming 💯
I love these two's conversations, so informative
Thank you Dr Huberman and Dr Walker for these amazing sleep videos. You both have a great professional rapport with each other. I was wondering if maybe in the future, to follow up with this series of sleep videos , you could do a video outlining the key points of this series and adding to it information about how to prepare for sleep from the moment you first wake up...btw, I find your voices so tranquil and relaxing that I listen to your videos to help me sleep, but I relisten to them during the day because they are so full of up-to-date information that are gratefully helpfull!
I really enjoyed this episode Dr. Huberman! I wanted to suggest a potential guest: Kalani Das. He’s a percussionist who focuses on world music, and he teaches about the benefits of group performance from a music therapy standpoint.
Thank you for this series! I will listen to this series a second time to “make this stick.”
Thank you dr. Huberman😊 I would appreciate it if you would talk about the consequences of sleeping too much.
I was hoping they would have mentioned this, too much is probably better than not enough. I sleep 10 hours plus naps and look 35 at 49 years old.

I had lucid nightmares 7 or more times in my life. Its the most terrifying shit I had in my life. You see shit, you feel shit and you can "fake wakeup" multiple times in a row. For me it was "something" that is following me and staring at me, not even attacking me just staring and following. I cant really fully see it (detail), but I can feel its "intention". The trigger when they attack is when i try to switch the light on or run into them. I can run away but sometimes they or it blocks the way. When I was young I didint know what it is and even today I am afraid. I need to wait in my bed that my body falls asleep so my eyes close on my own and that is not good (who would have thought). When I look back at the times it happend to me it was so god dam terrifying I cant even put it in words, you just cant run away from it. You just run from the inevitably. If you know what a lucid nightmare is and how to defeat it and make it in a "good" one you have a chance but how tf do you know that when you are 10 or so.
