Dreams and genius | Why do we dream?

Описание: Every night, you go legally insane. You see hallucinations, you believe in delusions, and you suffer from memory loss. Science calls this REM sleep, but Matthew Walker argues it might be the key to our next evolutionary leap.

In this video, we dive into the neuroscience of dreaming. From Richard Feynman’s lucid dreaming experiments to Thomas Edison’s steel ball hack for creativity, we explore why our brain puts us in a physiological straightjacket every night.

We cover:
Why lucid dreamers might be a new species of human
Richard Feynman’s trick to observe falling asleep
The connection between nightmares and therapy
How sleep paralysis actually protects you
The "Edison Method" to solve impossible problems

Are you just sleeping, or are you upgrading?
