This explains why we dream, but not what we dream.
How is this not the most watched clip on the internet?
OMG Tim, this is seriously one of the most fascinating things I've ever heard and one of the most _unique_ and unexpected (potential) explanations for dreaming I could've never imagined. I guess if true, some people will be disappointed because it might not be as exciting as other hypotheses and might take out the mystery of it all, but I'm really glad you got this guy on! This is the first I've heard it!
This is fascinating! I would love to learn more
Interesting -- Thank you
I love his book ‘Sum’ 📕
Whats it about
@@NicoGee1 sumthing
Dream is not just visual experience though...you feel it or sense it in different ways
Dreaming is the mind’s screensaver. 😂
How is it possible that I can see the future in my dreams? I meet people in my dreams before I meet them in real life, I see major events in my loved ones' lives before they happen, etc. Maybe I've lived this life before?
I always dream of future "homes" I will be moving into. So I'll be in a weird room I've never been in or ever seen but I get this overwhelming feeling that I am safe at home. Then a few years go by and bang I'm in that EXACT same room looking at the exact same thing I did in my dream. As if there is no free will. Think of how many decisions and choices we make in 5 years time 🤔
i have had that too, i wonder if our brain is so complex and such a powerful processor that we are actually just predicting future outcomes.. based on all prior input
OR we are seeing into the future, i like that idea too! haha
@@bradleyfitzik2447 I also dream of future homes! I think time isn't linear and everything in the future has already happened. It scares me a bit to think we don't have free will.
@@bradleyfitzik2447 shit, maybe we are creating the future in our dreams, thats why they always say "dream big"
i want to get into a lucid dream state more often, i think it happened more when i was young and my brain had more "plasticity" but there are ways to intentionally lucid dream as well
so if you can get into a lucid state more often maybe that plasticity becomes more along the lines of a free will plasticity..
@@mikky454 Sam Harris had me thinking everything was determined based on our genetics and environment, it seems like a trap, i think there are people who tap into free will through certain practices, we just have to figure out what those practices are haha let me know if you find out
I'd be curious to know his thoughts on why some people dream more often, more vividly, ans remember their dreams more than others...
I tend to be able to remember more dreams if I sleep the same period for multiple days. It also helps a lot to journal dreams upon waking (write by hand, it is more effective for retaining info)
so if we somehow upgrade our night vision, we should be able to sleep less..? Or at least less REM sleep, so perhaps the time lying down to rest our physique would have to increase..
Do primate brains similar to our brains go through dream states similar to psychosis and lucid dreaming? Not sure if your question on REM sleep and high plasticity answered that.
This most definitely does not explain why dreams have content, or why they gave have such specific content.
I don’t think this is right. If dreaming was just visuals then it would make sense. Dreaming evolved because it keeps parts of the brain that may atrophy due to lack of use by lifestyle changes ready for use.
That explains why dreams are more active and vivid when a person is bed bound. This is based on experience. Also, we think involuntarily all day long why not at night?
I wonder what newborns might be dreaming about .
Get married soon, dude
