Why we dream
Without dreams, humanity would not be where it is.
We all have them regardless of age, gender or religion; and surprisingly similar. They can be scary, funny, ticklish, or completely pointless – and all of them are essential for our brain and mental health.
Renowned neuroscientist Rahul Jandial reveals current findings on how dreams help us regulate emotions, process memories and trauma, and support learning and creativity. And how we can use them to our advantage in waking life as well.
LATEST RESEARCH REVEALS, AMONG OTHER THINGS:
- Dreams don' t seem real to young children - they just have to learn it.
