This Is Why You Dream

What Your Sleeping Brain Reveals About Your Waking Life
Book • 2024
This Is Why You Dream delves into the landscape of the subconscious, explaining why humans have retained the ability to dream across millennia.

The book, written by dual-trained neuroscientist and neurosurgeon Dr. Rahul Jandial, discusses how dreaming fortifies emotional regulation, processes and stores memories, amplifies creativity, and promotes learning.

It also covers how dreams can be used to practice real-life skills through lucid dreaming, rewrite nightmares, and monitor signs of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

The book is praised for its accessible explanation of complex brain science and its potential to transform our understanding and use of dreams in both sleeping and waking lives.
