Dreams are often a reflection of things that we have experienced whilst awake and they help with the consolidation of those memories. Research also shows that negative emotions are more commonly manifested in dreams than our positive emotions. These are normally the ones that we refuse to kind of confront when we're awake causing them to surface during an unconscious state.
This week on the podcast we are breaking down the psychology of our dreams - why we dream, the role of our brain, what our dreams mean, repressed desires, nightmares and even the role of daydreaming for our mental wellbeing. If you've ever wondered about your weird dreams, some of the scientific theories and whether you are a maladaptive daydreamer, this episode is for you as we jump into the fascinating science and psychology behind these imaginative, colourful hallucinations.
