You don't have to wait for dreams to happen to you. You can co-create your dreams with your sleeping mind before your head hits the pillow. The practice actually has roots in a lot of ancient cultures. One early example is the Greeks who had temples where people went to sleep to usually try to have a healing dream about a physical problem.
Dreams have inspired works of art, led to breakthroughs in organic chemistry and helped people process their deepest fears and emotions. They're not just weird little movies our brains put on while we sleep. In this episode, we explain why we dream — and how to get more out of them.
