Episode notes

When you start to realize that when you're like oh I'm falling asleep and my mom has this trick she taught me where if you need to fall asleep but your brain is thinking about what you got to do and stress out the way. She comes up with a category like let's say it's cars or fruit or boys names or whatever and she'll go okay apple a b banana c cherry, Nancy we call it the fancy Nancy. When those highways break apart then they're isolated and then you can't dream anymore. That's also the way consciousness works Consciousness is a property of a very big network.

Part 2 is here: Lucid dreaming! Teeth falling out! Medications and dreaming! The source of creativity! Even how to clean your brain. Dr. G. William Domhoff has studied dreams for decades and returns to answer an absolute deluge of questions with his wisdom and aplomb. By the end, you’ll know to sleep better, why it’s important, how to relax like a fish, if cheese alters your subconscious, why your dog flaps their paws during naps, and rejoice about a freshly discovered part of the brain. Ooooh, it’s an instant classic.
