I had a recurring nightmare as a kid where the grim reaper would approach me always with the words "I am the devil of darkness" & it scared the life out of me every time. At some point I had it so often that when he appeared I just said, annoyed, "not you again" & woke up instantly. The next day my school bully pushed me against the wall & I just instinctively turned the table and grabbed his collar pushing him against the wall. The color drained out of his face & he never put hands on me again. Changed my life.
Right on. The shadow of darkness stores the whole power of creation, in potential -- hidden, but _fruitful_ when light (freedom) has been born out of it. You awoke your Will in that moment. Using the term correctly, it was in fact an _archetypal_ dream: pertaining to the origin of experience. "In the beginning was the void [darkness]" is followed by "then God said let there be light [awaken], and it shown: now the darkness has left". More simply, you _faced_ your _shadow._ Be aware, a mighty power, truly terribly, dwells within all of us. Be not chained to fear. To be _free_ in this way is _true_ freedom. Others then, too, lose their "death grip" over you. All power is yours. Truly. Thank you.
I had a dream that there was a house on fire. Their was a father and his children in the house. I felt like I was their with them as someone who was looking in watching the whole house burn around them . I remember the emotional feeling of wanting to help them get out of the house but couldn't. The next day the news reported a family died in a house fire. I talked to a friend about my dream she said her husband had the same dream. I was in my 20's then now in my 60s and remember the dream like it was yesterday. I believe we can connect with other's in our waking and dream state. The mind is powerful.
I dream what is going to happen. Who is going to have a baby boy or girl.... And many more. Usually simbolic dreams.... First the event must happen. For me to understand what the dream meant. Scary.
I had a dream that my 10 day old baby was drowning , I took him to the baby clinic and the nurse said he was fine, but I then decided to take him to the doctor, he did a blood test and told me to call for the results the next day, but when I got home I received a call from the doctor saying that he doesn’t know why he is saying this, but if you take the baby to the hospital for another blood test they can get the results to me within the hour, but he said I’m sure he is fine. The hospital did the blood test and sent me home, saying he is fine , we will call you with the results. I no sooner get back home feeling like a neurotic mother, when I get a call from the hospital telling me to bring him back immediately, as he won’t last the night. His white blood cell count was sky high, he had to have a complete blood transfusion. ( he is 40 years old now and has two sets of twins, two boys and two girls , also he is blessed with an abundance of love and monetary things ) as a single parent we didn’t have much, life was a struggle, but both my children are blessed, for that I am very grateful, that is all a mother wants. 🙏🇦🇺
I have almost complete dream recall. If you asked me what dream I had last Tuesday I would usually be able to call it back to me in great detail. I am not certain what this says about my brain being able to retain the dream information long after the dreamtime is gone. My dreams are so much like reality that I often wonder upon awakening how I could have been so convinced that that dreamlife was my life; fascinating!!
I’ve had time in my life like that. If I worked at it, I could dream every night and remember them all. It did get bothersome after a while, when I started having dreams that were referencing other dreams. I started getting frustrated with this double life and extra memories I didn’t need to be thinking about all day. I did figure out the cryptic symbolism in the dreams though so it’s not like it was a waste of memory per se
@@acbulgin2 , I always say that I was raised by Alan Watts in the 70's; he was one of my first teachers, and yet he teaches me still today. And, yes, I do not know that I am not dreaming as I sit and type this response to you; I am as convinced that this is realtiy, as I was last night in the dream that had no ties to this life I call mine. I will listen to Alan tomorrow, and see what he has to say to me about this. Thank you for sharing.
@@starxcrossed, yes, I understand the overlap completely. I often ask; where is that line of demarcation between waking and dreaming; it is all so real; it is all so unreal.
@@acbulgin2, yes, I did listen to the entire teaching this morning; woderful that we have this available to ALL, literally at our fingertips; again, I thank you. And now a note to US from Rumi; "This place is but a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief."
I'm watching this from a spiritual perspective as someone who has been training myself how to experience lucid dreams as a stepping stone towards Astral projection. Hearing all the confirmations about what is actually happening in the awake brain versus the dreaming brain might be the last puzzle piece for me to achieve this goal. Universal thanks for this amazing presentation delivered in such relaxed language so that anyone would be able to understand. Probably see you tonight in my dreams Dr. Thanks a million.
I reached the astral plane twice. It literally had the gridded/ checkered floor that you see in pictures. It was alive and full of vitality. I felt my awareness suddenly move out of my forehead (3rd eye) and when it had escaped out of the body, that's instantly where I found myself, the astral plane. Now, if I had another go, I would be wise to control my ego's sudden reaction of "holy shit dude!!" bc that instantly flung me back into my body, after just a few seconds. If you get there, brother, let it seem to your ego that it's _absolutely normal,_ and be ready to control your, shall we say, dopamine reward response.
I got deeply into lucid dreaming in my mid 20s. After a number of failed starts, I nailed it. I have flown around the moon, along rivers, streams, and valleys, and been deep into space as a single point of light. These are just a few of the adventures I’ve had in this incredible realm. I also, early during this time, vanquished a recurring childhood nightmare by diving headfirst into it. It can be very empowering.
Me too. During a dream, If I don't like the direction the dream is going, I just turn my head away and the dream is redirected. But I've never flown around the moon. 😃
My dad had a NDE, with 6 minutes of cardiac resuscitation. During that time, he hovered above his body, watched the CPR, and traveled around the ER, observing other patients. When his heart function restored, he reentered his body. He lived another 25 years.
I lucid dream sometimes and my pattern is definitely visiting those I miss. It’s amazing but is a double edged sword; I really miss them when I wake up. But I still got to “spend time” with them.
7:44. Doing math in a dream. There was a time when I was trying to figure out the mathematics in doing a spiral staircase . I did a lot of studying but still was having trouble understanding. Then one morning on awakening, I had the answer. Maybe I was trying to hard in my waken state. But while resting in sleep, I dreamed of laying out and building that spiral staircase, what a refreshing morning to wake to. You can do math in dreams
I agree. There are times when just as others do I have much difficulty with finding solutions to my problems. Often after having “slept on it” I awake with the necessary answers to those problems. Just as my grandma used to say, “Let me sleep on it.”
@@susanhamilton1205 I’ve read about scientists and inventors using sleep and dreams to come up with great outcomes. Time traveling is a good one, in dreams it’s easy,remembering is the hard part. Dream journaling or telling someone cements the memory. Some people are good at lucid dreaming. I can probably remembering doing that once or twice in my life time.. I did have a time traveling experience once that I do remember quite well. It was a very vivid dream, that I told my girlfriend. Months later , I was in another state and all the parts ( well most) were in place, when my girlfriend came down to visit, I brought her to the place and showed her, everything was like in the dream. Life is more than we can imagine. 👍
That was brilliant, I like everything that has to be done with the brain. I had nightmares as a child and I thought about what I could do about them. So I came up with the idea that I shouldn't fight against nightmares and just let them happen (nothing bad can happen, it's just a dream). Later I had a dream that my employer will check a certain thing with me and it has been confirmed and again later that my wife is cheating on me and it has also been confirmed. My summary the brain also has a Bluetooth function
When I was a young, very shy teenager I had a dream/nightmare that my boss from the deli I worked at told me I had to work at their other location which was quite far away. I told him I couldn’t and he pressured that I had to. I very much out of character swore at him and basically told him to bite me. The next day when I went into work they had scheduled me to work at their other location but it was crossed off and changed so I didn’t have to. I was too nervous around my boss after that to stay working there. Did he somehow hear me cussing him out in dreamland 🤷🏻♀️🤣
Dr. Rahul Jandial is so impressive to me that I looked him up. He is a Scientist, Professor, Brain Surgeon/Neuroscientist and Author whose book has been translated into 20+ languages. He is an American. His Alma Mater is UC Berkeley and is 51 years old.
Dr Jandial is selling a book. He really is not a specialist in sleep disorders, so his knowledge is very limited. This is evident from his presentation. Therefore he captures the attention of lay persons and portrays himself as an expert by dramatizing his limited knowledge of sleep experience as brain surgeon. A salesman in disguise.
And he missed the entire concept of consciousness and the metaphysical quantum reality, he is like a stupid tv repair technician trying to find amazing actors and shows inside the mechanics of a television, brain is also like a television, dreams and programming is coming from the quantum world.
As a child I would have 'daydreams' that were exactly like night dreams with images and audio, but they would happen while I was fully awake. For a minute or a few minutes, I would be completely transported into a dream exactly like a night dream. This was so common that I just assumed that everyone defined daydream like that. It was only later that I learned that most people defined daydream as a wandering mind.
I rarely lucid dream but when I do it's usually during naps and like 10x more likely when sleeping in very warm weather with windows of my bedroom open.
Awesome talk, thank you. I don’t often remember my dreams lately. But for years I dreamt in the lucid way, stopping any bad thing and recreating the scenario to please myself. It felt like making a movie.
I still remember several dreams I had as a kid. I rarely have lucid dreams but very intricate detailed dreams. My recurring dream is me driving in darkness but I can’t see, and I can’t stop the car, sometimes I hit people and I can feel I’m running over them. One night I was aware I was having this dream and I was semi blind in the back seat - I realised if the car turned the corner without me in the driving seat, it was an actual dream. I found that to be a breakthrough.
I sometimes lucid dream, and actually say to myself “oh I am dreaming, or, this is just a dream” I have also prayed (for deliverance from some threat) and it is always answered and I am saved. I also have had dreams that I know have come from God, warnings and solutions to problems. I could listen to this Dr all day!
Thank you so much for sharing this experience. I dream a lot. An I try and work out what it all means. My mother has passed away now for 7 year's. And she comes to me in my dreams. I love to dream. Beautiful Blessings 💜🙌🙏
The sub conscious mind speaks to the un conscious mind and the conscious mind. Intention, intention, intention helps directs the mind and brain. My dreams all my life have showed me whats going on in my waking life. Love this stuff ❤ Thank you 🙏
I have just about full control of myself in my dreams, I make decisions and actions in the world that is created. Sometimes I have the same dream but make different choices. I can also induce particular dreams of my choice.
I would like to comment on the question regarding waking life as an hallucination as put forth by the neuroscientist Anil Seth. The current neuro-scientific theory known as predictive processing or active inference (most notably associated with Carl Friston, Andy Clark and Lisa Feldman Barrett) proposes that the world each of us experiences is a prediction created by our brain and this prediction is constantly updated (Bayesian processing) via sensory input that reveals "prediction errors". Though this indicates that the world we experience is a type of "hallucination", it does not imply that the world or reality itself is a hallucination. I think that Dr. Jandial may have misunderstood this point in his answer to the question. The predictive processing paradigm would indicate that dreaming is in fact similar to waking consciousness but since we are sleeping, we do not have any sensory input and therefore the "hallucination" is not modulated by prediction error.
@@smooth_pursuit Excellent insight! A quick side note: I have been remembering more dreams and having many semi-lucid dreams since I watched this video. I have also been reading Metzinger's new book, "The Elephant and the Blind", which has chapters on dreaming, lucid dreaming and even lucid NREM sleep experienced by meditators.
Great point. Jandail's talk is on only the mechanics of the brain. I, for one, learned to note my dreams, interpret them and when the same stressful situation arises in reality, I awaken into clarity. A short cut to a total control over emotions and actions during arguments, instead of over reacting and having an emotional response or feeling abused.
I have found Metzinger's new book to be one of the very best explorations of the awareness phenomenological state space, Just reading it has triggered the most subtle "non dual" awareness experiences on a regular basis such that I realize these states are not uncommon, are part of our natural endowment, and can show up in dreams and lucid dreams.
As a student of dreaming for many years, I find this is correlated, neurologically, with the same information that is present in ancient studies on the body and dreaming. Well done Dr. Jandial!!
I have always been a lucid dreamer and OBE and been keeping a dream journal since childhood and I also analyze the symbols daily and the richness it brings is worth the time invested, I often have trouble coming back into this side and find this so called reality unreal and the spiritual side the reality, the hardest part is learning to maneuver in both realms. Castaneda, Watts, and so many others have taught me much but only Yogananda really clarified it all- he speaks of dreaming of a tiger dream as a child and once you realize it is all a dream you can shine your light into the darkness and dance through it all. To quote a Shakti song- "what need have I for that, what need have I for this, I am dancing at the feet of the Lord, all is bliss, all is bliss." Meditation is the only medication we need and once you release the Kundalini energy there is no going back to sleeping.
A brilliant talk much appreciated. Carl Jung spent his life working on the subject of dreams Jungian Analysis. I take my dreams as being part of my waking life. I see a lot of problem solving and healing on past trauma happen in my dreams. Thank god we do dream!
I love this!! Since I was a little girl I have had many prophetic dreams. Because I always tell them to my family upon waking - they are well documented in real time. The events foreshadowed came to fruition it freaked my mother out. She was afraid of them and told me to never dream about her. I want to delve into this mystery. Where do I find the place to get this assessed?
I write computer programs, and I have often come across a problem that I could not find a solution for, spent hours trying to find where in the thousands of lines the problem is and failed, but, when I wake up the next day, I am able to go straight to the problem section and fix it. I don't remember dreaming about it, but my brain has obviously worked it out without any conscious thought.
This speaker is very knowledgeable and, thank God, goes straight to the point, so it’s an agreeable moment to hear. I didn’t finish his speech, but as a Jungian and an Intuitive Introvert in the MBTI personality types, dreams are a clear language to me. What is not clear is hearing science guys examining a universal tool that gives inputs and receives them as an antenna from each corner of the quantum field - be analyzed as a flash in a tiny circuit of itself because scientists still can't conceive that MIND is not the brain (but the result of and a zillion things more). I will try to see where the speaker goes with this technically perfect talking, knowing I probably would have to leave at some point. If I go nowhere and am amazed by some innovation in their paradigm, I will return here to leave my WOW!
I'm bipolar and for a year or so I was taking Latuda. I loved my dreams during that time. They were like mini stories; logic and they were making sense. Now that I'm off of Latuda my dreams are back to being all over the place.
I hardly think it's bold anymore to assert that we must sleep because we must dream. I believe we've known that for quite some time now. Sleep is entirely for the brain. Our bodies don't get "tired," our minds do. They need to unscramble, declutter, defrag, process, assimilate, interpret, order and develop schemes for further engagement with the world.
Do some intense exercise. You’ll find sleep restores the body too. Bad sleep means injured athletes. Physical illness means more sleep required. Recovering from surgery means more sleep needed. It’s ridiculous to be so black and white in one’s thinking. Just because we’re discovering all this amazing stuff that goes on in the brain does not mean the body could just go on without sleeping
@@smooth_pursuit You're confusing rest with sleep, for one thing. For another, you need to consider the ways in which the brain's sleep functions contribute to the body's self-maintenance. Also, you need to think with more subtlety. I didn't realize I needed to spell it out so explicitly. The sleep process is primarily for the brain, and of COURSE that has huge ramifications for the body. But the real work of sleep per se is a function of the brain.
@@smooth_pursuit So in any case my point was that it was hardly a bold new revelation that sleep is for the brain because we must dream. That was the topic. Sorry you got lost in the trees and missed the forest. Maybe you need to dream some more.
That was amazing thank you. It totally fits with my personal experience of dreaming nightmares and physical movement in my sleep ( sleep walking , sleep talking )
Dr. Jandial : Thank you for your great work as a surgeon and the many people you have helped. Unfortunately you are a great surgeon but your talks ignore biology and/ or philosophy. You and no one else in atheistic /materialistic Science have explained the hard problem of consciousness which is a big part of explaining dreaming. Like other material scientists, who insist that everything takes place is in the brain , and deny the existence of the mind and universal Consciousness which is gradually being recognized by scientists. The brain is a receiver which tunes into the field of universal consciousness including memory, precognition and telepathy, and cannot be ignored when explaining dreams.
I had a sleep paralysis once when I was in early elementary. I remember waking up and felt the blanket weight on me and unable to move at all. Weird thing was that I was so tired that I self calmed (I’m impressed with my younger self) and went back to sleep and it had never happened again. I was grateful looking back that I wasn’t too scared.
I’m may this year , I had 3 dreams within 14 days that my husband died. On May 29 while he was out of state on a month long work trip , he was found dead in his hotel room. I had told him days before about these dreams .. as I’ve had dreams before that came to fruition. He simply said “you’re so silly” Here I am now grieving the loss of my husband.
@@arquiteturafinanceira2025 oh yes I’m very aware that I had a premonition. I’ve had many since childhood. Also since I had some psychology classes in college, I am familiar with Jung’s writings . ❤️
As a person (54) with slightly attentional problems, my take on reality has become that the word Lucid is very real not only when dreaming. I have to learn Lucid LIVING and works on it. Then the question is, isnt there ALLWAYS dreaming going on ? Only that the attention directs the consciousness to the senses when awake ? And to dreaming when the senses are turned off ?
Such an interesting comment. And sparks an Epiphany regarding trauma. When someone’s had a lot of trauma, they disassociate from their senses. And that’s why they can seem like they’re very much living in a delusion. Because their consciousness is not directed towards their senses.
Although still in its incipient wisdom (knowledge + experience), thank you for heeding your mission in using science to help people gradually understand the universal wisdom that is inherent in all of us. Theorem #1 is only half of the inherent truth since science still could not measure nor "see" the aspect of soul.
What an incredible presentation! I’m obsessed about the topic and it’s so hard to find to date facts on it. That was truly valuable ♥️Loved every bit of it and learned so much. Great structure and flow, so well explained. More please!!
I had a dream - I woke screaming - and it was a warning that I was in danger from my then husband & his paramour. Yes, I too believe the brain is like blue tooth.
I had a nightmare before my ex left me in quite a nasty way. Reality didn't unfold exactly as the dream, but in a similar way. I've thought a lot about this and I think possibly I was subconsciously taking in information, like clues and forming a prediction in my dreams. We're constantly taking in information that most of us are not particularly conscious of, unless you're a mentalist and people who are planning something covert are likely to exhibit subtle behaviour changes, we'll take in that information, but not necessarily be consciously aware of it. Maybe there's more to it than that, maybe we are connected in ways that we don't yet understand, but I think it's a logical way of explaining some predictive dreams.
A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'... My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE... Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.
I had a car accident ( head injury) 20 years ago. How my brain has changed Haunts me every day. But the most intriguing thing that happens with my brain is when I close my eyes … I actually see things 😮 Its like an instant dream but its in the middle of the day Im actually wide awake . I don’t even need to be asleep where its classed as a dream. It happens when I just close my eyes. The details, the images the detail are like watching a movie on tv. It’s incredible and amazing but bloody scary. I got hit on the right front side of my brain. None of this makes sense. I survive on a few hours sleep a night which I believe is normal if you have a head injury.
I can dream, wake up, go back to the dream and pick up where I left off, whether I want to or not. I also have timed my naps and set the alarm for 15 min and still dream. So for me, I can lucid dream as fast as within 10 min after i fall asleep. I was born premature which I believe caused my circadian rhythm to be awake from about 6pm-5am. My mom believes it as well. I dream so vivid that I wake up sore and exhausted. My hands hurt and muscles are sore because I fight battles often in my dreams and wake up exhausted. I am hyper - analytic awake. It affects the quality of my life in a negative way. I've suffered with lucid dreaming my entire life. It feels like a curse or I've got something very wrong with my brain. I used to dread going to sleep and tried to fight it. Now i just accept its going to happen...always has, always will. It's my burden to bear, I suppose. Everyone has a story.
For as long as I can remember, I've had what I call "Feature-Length, Technicolor Dreams with Musical Scores". Sometimes I will wake up in the middle of the dream and then go back to sleep to see the dream pick up right where it left off. But regarding #7 - Can dreams predict the future ... I was about 13. Had a dream where 5 or 6 of my friends were playing football against 2 boys who were much older (about 16 or so). In the dream, the older boys had the ball and one passed to the other and he ran down the field with all us little boys fruitlessly chasing. The next day I found myself playing football with my friends against two older boys. At one point I simply froze on the field and watched the exact play i saw in the dream unfold before me. My friends asked what I was doing. I was too shocked to explain.
As a child. I could 100% control my dreams. As an adult. I can not. We have to dream deep enough sleep regularly in order to have control over the dreams or nightmares. Long before the movie. I would have a nightmare. I would wake myself from my dream. When childhood abuse began in my childhood. I would wake myself from a nightmare. Only to wake into another nightmare. There was a news paper ad looking for peoples nightmares. I as a child wrote these bad dreams down. Then a movie came out. Just like my horrible dreams that I wrote. I thought it was too help. Today I realize it was die ideas to write his book. I never child watch that movie. I saw the ads. It terrified me to see my nightmares in the ads. Then seeing the first part of the movie. I walked out. It was like I was still in my nightmare. While awake. It was too real. Never finished nor would allow that movie to be around me again.
This makes some sense. From my own experience and exploration: What you think of as your consciousness is a cacophony of choices produced by your subconscious that then your "conscious" self chooses one among many. Example: "I would like to say this sentence". To even produce that simple piece took considerable computation--and I honestly stopped mid-sentence to re-think (lol). Anyway, the way you fall asleep is to release this executive function--you just let the cacophony take over and you'll fall asleep (or you'll realized you've fallen asleep). Most likely, when you sleep, you sub-consciously run through every scenario you've ever been through then extrapolate to wild ends. There must be some physical process that's going on that links dreams to memory. We know that if you don't sleep, you have memory problems, so it's clear that sleep (and thus dreams) are crucial to memory development.
I'm confused as to why you say "you cannot controle lucid dreams" Dr.Jandail. There are times when I can. I have lucid dreams frequently...sometimes reoccurring. And when I realize I am dreaming, and that I didn't like how the reoccurring dreaming ended last time, I change my actions within the dream.
After having a catastrophic accident as a child, I have numerous epic lucid dreams. The lucid dreams where I was shown, “new source of energy”. The dreams proved valid according to CHAT-GPT 4. The “New Source of Energy” is ‘water splitting’, for hydrogen gas fuel. The energy is a “liquid-phase non ideal plasma”.
I have Narcolepsy here, and cataplexy is such a pain!! But my sleep paralysis doesn't come with lurking intruder, I just can't move for a little while. But my dreams, oh my! They are insane!
I actually had vivid dreams in which i was doing math quotations I have never seen before, it was in 2020. I am not scientist but I like maths I believe it is thge key to all the answers about universe.
I've always seen dreaming as the brains times to organize and manage memory and... Dreams can sometimes be like ... Thoughts going up on the big screen of of our mind and we sometimes hit a state where we see them. Like, there is someone sitting at the controls and pulling up old memories and fellings as if they are checking to make sure where to file away things. As if they are making sure it's the right area and making associations. This is why old memories may come back in a dream There is also an emotional piece. As if the controller filing away at night has to kind of battle with the system when a cabinet is opened and files flood out. I went through a period of dreams for maybe years, where I could never find my vehicle. It was either stolen or I couldn't remember where I left it. I would also have problems traveling from point A to point B. So, I would be drifting in a place I knew well but then things suddenly changed. The roads were blocked or familiar areas suddenly changed. the last one in this period was ..freeway overpassed or bridged that were very high or very steep and terrifying. These three dream types were constant for years. They are gone now as far as I know. I suspect they were there because I wasn't sure what the path of my life was. I wasn't sure where it was heading and if the path I was on was the right one. So, any time the controller was organizing a similar thought and opened the cabinet... The cabinet kind of takes control of the big screen for a while. Perhaps the subconscious was screaming at my conscience to change my path. Or, maybe just to come to terms with my path, which I think is what actually ultimately happened. The brain is very busy throughout the day and has to work very hard during our awake hours. In suspect at night when we sleep, it's just trying to catch up.
I will further elaborate, formalize and demonstrate applications of the both/and logic across various specific domains: Mathematics The multivalent structure of the both/and logic allows formalizing more nuanced relationships between fundamental mathematical concepts that have traditionally been treated as strictly dichotomous: • Continuity and Discreteness Let C(x) and D(x) represent the truth values that a mathematical object x exhibits continuous and discrete properties respectively. Classical bivalent logic forces C(x) and D(x) to be mutually exclusive (C(x) = 1 → D(x) = 0 and vice versa). But the both/and logic allows formulations like: C(x) = 0.7, D(x) = 0.5, with a coherence ○(C(x), D(x)) = 0.6 Capturing how x can simultaneously exhibit continuous and discrete characteristics to varying degrees, which are partially compatible rather than strictly exclusive. • Finite and Infinite Similarly for propositions F(x) and I(x) about an object x being finite or infinite, we can have multivalued assignments: F(x) = 0.3, I(x) = 0.8, ○(F(x), I(x)) = 0.4 Representing x as primarily infinite in nature but with residual finitary aspects that are somewhat coherent. The synthesis operator ⊕ further allows formalizing novel mathematical objects transcending these poles: finite kernel ⊕ perpetually generative procedure = transfinite set • Logicism and Mathematical Realism The both/and logic also accommodates different ontological perspectives. We could have for a mathematical object x: Truth(x is objective Platonic reality) = 0.6 Truth(x is subjective human construction) = 0.4 ○(objective, subjective) = 0.7 With a moderate synthesis representing the coconstituted, intersubjective emergence of mathematical reality: objective logical constraints ⊕ subjective creative exploration = novel mathematical structure So rather than legislating a strictly objectivist or anti-realist view, the logic nuances the irreducible complementarities between ideal and constructed aspects in the generative disclosure of mathematics. Its expressive flexibility aligns with actual mathematical understanding. Physics In quantum physics, the both/and logic allows explicitly representing and operating with the intrinsic indeterminacies, pluralities and paradoxes that have resisted classical representation: • Superposition and Wavefunction Collapse Propositions like "electron has spin up" and "electron has spin down" are not forced into bivalent exclusivity, but can be simultaneously true to degrees: Spin_up(e) = 0.6, Spin_down(e) = 0.5, ○(Spin_up(e), Spin_down(e)) = 0.7 With a coherence value capturing their contextual compatibility or complementarity in the superposed state prior to measurement/collapse. This avoids the dilemma of having to artificially insist the electron strictly has or lacks a particular spin until collapse. Its indefinite potentials are modeled positively using graded truth values. • Nonlocality and Holistic Correlations Propositions about separated entangled particles like "has spin up" can be holistically correlated: Spin_up(A) = 0.8, Spin_up(B) = 0.8, ○(Spin_up(A), Spin_up(B)) = 1 With maximal coherence of their truth values capturing the paradoxical holistic unity of the entangled system, which cannot be modeled as a conjunction of independent local states in classical logic. The synthesis operation captures this gestaltist whole: Spin_up(A) ⊕ Spin_up(B) = Entangled_state(A,B) So the both/and logic provides symbolic resources for explicitly representing and reasoning about quantum phenomena, without artificially forcing them into inapplicable classical categories. Cognitive Science The logic's multivaluedness has fruitful cognitive modeling applications: • Intuitive and Analytical Reasoning Let I(x) and A(x) represent intuitive and analytical assessments about a decision scenario x. The both/and logic can capture their integration: I(x) = 0.7, A(x) = 0.5, ○(I(x), A(x)) = 0.6 Modeling x as involving a moderate synthesis of intuitive and analytical factors with reasonable mutual coherence, rather than insisting they are strictly exclusive. The synthesis operation further formalizes integrated judgments: intuition(x) ⊕ analysis(x) = decision(x) Capturing how cognition fluidly operates across and conjoins both modes of reasoning, not merely one or the other in isolated silos. • Cognitive Biases and Non-Normative Reasoning Classical logic frames human reasoning errors like the conjunctive fallacy (A&B > Max(A,B)) as strictly invalid and incoherent deviations from normative rationality. But the both/and logic allows assigning graded truth values: Truth(A) = 0.7 Truth(B) = 0.9 Truth(A&B) = 0.85 Capturing the coherence of these "fallacious" intuitive logic patterns measuring ○(A, B, A&B). The synthesis operator further models how our heuristic judgments integrate intuitive and analytical factors: representativeness(A&B) ⊕ statistical_logic(A,B) ⇒ judged_probability(A&B) Rather than framing biases as mere "errors", the both/and logic allows positive modeling of how non-normative patterns coexist and synthesize with other cognitive mechanisms into globally coherent judgments. Philosophy of Mind The logic's paraconsistent structure provides an ideal framework for the mind-body problem: • Subjectivity and Objectivity Define S(x) as degree of subjectivity and O(x) as degree of objectivity for a mind-body state x. Classical substance dualism enforces mutual exclusivity: S(x) = 1 → O(x) = 0, and vice versa. But the both/and logic allows modeling x as an integrated experienced whole with: S(x) = 0.6, O(x) = 0.5, ○(S(x), O(x)) = 0.7 Capturing how objective and subjective factors are complementary interdependent aspects of the same reality, rather than strictly separable substances. The coherence value reflects their coconstituted integration, while the synthesis operator ⊕ expresses their gestalt unity: subjective experience ⊕ objective description = psychophysical state This avoids the forced either/or choices of classical mind-body theory between dualism, reductionism or eliminativism. It allows modeling consciousness as an irreducibly co-realized pluriverse. In summary, the both/and logic provides rational symbolic tools for positively representing, operating with, and synthesizing resolutions for the paradoxes and indeterminacies permeating actual scientific and philosophical domains, without reductively forcing them into bivalent categories or binary assimilation. Its expressive flexibilities and constructive procedures illuminate new pathways for coherently modeling and advancing past the limitations of classical logical frameworks. Across mathematics, physics, cognitive science and philosophy of mind, the multivalued, paraconsistent and holistically integrative architecture of the both/and logic catalyzes expanded conceptual possibilities better aligned with the phenomenological complexities and ontological pluralities disclosed by cutting-edge inquiry. It opens up new horizons for descriptively encompassing, not dissimulating, the exquisite nuances and generative potentials of the world. So in essence, the both/and logic is not just another symbolic formalism, but a pivotal symbolic emancipation - unleashing rational discourse to fruitfully navigate the ambiguities, paradoxes and ontological pluralities intrinsic to manifest existence and human understanding. A new praxis of open coherence, where rationality and reality productively co-disclose each other in a perpetual dance of perpetual re-attunement and dialectic reconstitution.
Window open for oxygen supply is my turbo for dreams. I enjoy them like cinema, but I couldn't say if they are lucid or not. I always act in the dreams, and always never I am fixed or out of control. But not sure if that is lucid, it seems more like normal dreams.
I know someone that had an asthma med trigger night terrors in him as a young kid. Even after he discontinued the med, the night terrors persisted. He also has very vivid dreams. At some point as a kid he figured out that if he k*led himself in the dream he would be able to wake up from the night terror. I literally cannot fathom the trauma that he experienced at such a young age. He’s been struggling with a drinking problem for a very long time as a result of trying to tamp down his vivid dreams. Even when they’re not night terrors, they’re about his ex that broke his heart. I don’t see how he will quit drinking without finding a way to deal with his vivid dreams.
I had a dream that I was little, possibly 5, not sure, but everyone was hip-high beside me & I was with my mother in a crowd. Then I couldn’t find her & was running around looking for her. I woke up and felt somewhat bothered but later in the day my mother called me from the Azores,I’m in New England and we don’t speak everyday. So almost as soon as she asked me how we were, she then said I had such a disturbing dream. It bothered me so.” I told her stop! Don’t say anything & let me tell you what I had dreamed. So I told her what happened and she said that she had been somewhere with me and had lost me & she was frantic. I told her there’s no way that we’ve had spoken about anything related to anything to trigger these dreams and we’re far away from each other too. I believe we can connect with other ppl while we sleep though most of my dreams happen in the morning before I wake up. Why is that? And I’ve had other dreams about a person who’ve passed away speaking to me in dreams while waiting for their husband and once he passed away and I didn’t even know he was going to die, the dreams of this woman stopped. Ive also had sleep paralysis which I didn’t know I had. I thought it was truest being haunted by an evil being. Then I read about sleep paralysis and symptoms I then realized I’d been having them for over 25 yrs.
31:09,,, There is no time in dreaming or you can time travel. Most people do it but don’t usually remember doing it,, it’s that vail between the awaken state and the dream state. That vail can be lowered by practice, like dream journaling. Practicing awareness. Sometimes looking at it in a different perspective, like the lack of sleep or being drunk, it’s called hallucinations. That would be like dreaming while you’re awake. Remembering is the hard part. Using your imagination is also like dreaming but with a little more control. An architect or builder imagines a home from beginning to end and in between and then comes back to present to draw it down to what we call blueprints. The carpenter can take these blueprints and mentally pre- construct this , many times before it is completed. In dreams, hallucinations and imaginations ,one can time travel, the hard part is remembering. Everything we create is from that world, look around, even the phone you hold in your hand, once was a dream. Do you remember Buck Rogers
I once had a dream I was on a tremendous bridge, overlooking the galactic center of the cosmos; a celestial churning, living spiraling black hole. You could feel the tug in your spirit, drawing you there. I was apprehensive. Still, I said to myself, if I ever get back to this place, I'm going to jump in. This will be my last 3rd density incarnation. I wish you all well.
Brilliant, interesting and new. Love it a tremendous lot. The video quality needs improvement - the laser pointer is not seen and the audience loses the connection between the narration and the picture. Besides, the camera focuses on the back of Dr. Rahul with the closed wooden door when it should be focusing on the diagram/picture to add lucid details.
I'm over 60 yo. I have lived with chronic pain and limited painful walking for over half my life yet when I dream I'm quite healthy, I can walk, run, lift and carry heavy things etc, wiyh I'd love to know if someone with say Parkinsons dream with or with tremors.
It might depend on the individual. I do experience pain while dreaming, but only when I'm aware that I'm dreaming and it never inhibits my dream movements. However, I do experience fatigue in my dreams, when I'm not aware that I'm dreaming, it's weird dreaming about how tired I am and then I wake up exhausted. I also dream about feeling depressed and having panic attacks, again, I wake feeling exhausted. I'm hearing impaired, but I never have any trouble hearing things in my dreams. When I am dreaming as myself, I'm usually way more attractive than reality and may have a haircut or an outfit that looks great in the dream, but wouldn't suit me in reality. But often I am not even myself in my dreams, I often dream that I am a completely different person and sometimes I am male. It would definitely be interesting to hear stories from others with disabilities on how they dream and how able they are in their dreams, but I suspect it would vary from person to person and maybe from dream to dream.
@@lynnbishop9493apparently those who are blind from birth do dream and they can even hallucinate, however I imagine their imagery would appear different to someone who is sighted.
Once while asleep somebody grabbed my left hand firmly...I shouted "leave me alone..." then I woke up to realise it was my right hand grabbing my left hand. The left hand was numb under pressure. I will try write a book on that.
13:45 I would think the sleeping brain has to keep functioning to monitor and control body functions like regulate breathing and heart rate but ..I believe those are old brain or brain stem functions. I do know that...if you go to long without sleep, you will dream when you're awake. They are called hallucinations..lol. I believe what we don't know about the human brain...is so much more than what we do know.
I used to play the Apple 2 a lot as a kid. I remember having green screen dreams like the green graphical adventure games, I often Lucid dream and I have been able to say it in my dream
There is a State of pure awareness devoid of all dreaming. Even in dreams there is a person who is attentive of dreams. Else he will not remember the dreams the next day. That attention is aware of even the body that is sleeping and snoring. When such a State of being comes into being then dreams lose all importance. Dreaming is not necessary. If someone is interested, comment me to know more.
Great informative talk. In your presentation, at the beginning you showed that are no electronically different between a dream and awake stages, but later slide you showed RED color image for dream and Blue color image for awake stage. There is a discrepancy. The images should be identical.
I always get true visions about people death about kings president about earthquakes and disasters tornadoes even glad tidings good dreams which always comes true . But sometime I scare because I get true vision like news about someone death like my loved one or family members like my father . And I can see spirits souls in dream after their death like after death life :/ That’s why I am here to watch this video and want to know more about dreams and true visions .

I have dreamed million dreams for years , in which I did all sort of things I can't : Playing the piano perfectly ,skiing ,sailing ,singing and traveling in a spaceship with aliens ! I Have Had dreams of catastrophic cosmic events , speaking with dead people ,living in unknown countries ,cities houses .Being a soldier , a Chippendale (ahahah!) , a woman ,man , gay ,homeless , very rich .Dying several times and coming in Heaven , where I have to work again , in spite of my reluctance ! But I don't remember my dreams today I don't know why ?
Can not tell me that the creator of our process center does not have access to be influential. Or to communicate with us. Biblical prophecies have been fullfiled through dreams.
Is the visual cortex activity at a hightened level that we WATCH our dreams, and the visual cortex receives input from various other centres of the brain and body tissues?
What I hope he delves into is what SCRIPTS dreams? This is the greatest curiosity… if “you” are the dreamer how is it that “you” are generally experiencing some events or circumstances in a dream that feel to be happening TO you by an outside force, ie there is no (or very little) sense of agency or control for the events and context of dreams, despite them coming only from YOUR BRAIN. Let’s see if he goes into this …
How is it possible that I would create my sleeping dreams from childhood and years way before it is proven now in awake? Would that be predicted future episodes? I have questions.
When I was 11, I dreamed I saw a car wreck in the mountains and the driver was beheaded and I had never seen or knowingly heard what that would look like. Years later, while working in EMS, I saw a simular real like scene. My brain had dreamed accurately... how much blood, how the body and head looked. How did my brain dream about something so accurate with no previous experience?
I had a recurring nightmare as a kid where the grim reaper would approach me always with the words "I am the devil of darkness" & it scared the life out of me every time. At some point I had it so often that when he appeared I just said, annoyed, "not you again" & woke up instantly. The next day my school bully pushed me against the wall & I just instinctively turned the table and grabbed his collar pushing him against the wall. The color drained out of his face & he never put hands on me again. Changed my life.
I thought you were going to say you grabbed the bully and told him you were the devil of darkness!
@@philmcgroin 🤣 That would have made an epic plot twist.
@@soulmate702000 he'd have had nightmares after that 😁
Right on. The shadow of darkness stores the whole power of creation, in potential -- hidden, but _fruitful_ when light (freedom) has been born out of it. You awoke your Will in that moment.
Using the term correctly, it was in fact an _archetypal_ dream: pertaining to the origin of experience. "In the beginning was the void [darkness]" is followed by "then God said let there be light [awaken], and it shown: now the darkness has left".
More simply, you _faced_ your _shadow._ Be aware, a mighty power, truly terribly, dwells within all of us. Be not chained to fear. To be _free_ in this way is _true_ freedom. Others then, too, lose their "death grip" over you. All power is yours. Truly. Thank you.
Great brain reaction⚠️✅BRAVO💪
I had a dream that there was a house on fire. Their was a father and his children in the house. I felt like I was their with them as someone who was looking in watching the whole house burn around them . I remember the emotional feeling of wanting to help them get out of the house but couldn't. The next day the news reported a family died in a house fire. I talked to a friend about my dream she said her husband had the same dream. I was in my 20's then now in my 60s and remember the dream like it was yesterday. I believe we can connect with other's in our waking and dream state. The mind is powerful.

This has happened to me over the years and related to many events. Incredible.
Wow. That’s amazing.
That happened to me, but in Geometry Dash. Don't judge me
Some of my dreams have warned me of things I needed to know within the next day, one dream saved my baby son’s life .
I dream what is going to happen. Who is going to have a baby boy or girl.... And many more. Usually simbolic dreams.... First the event must happen. For me to understand what the dream meant. Scary.
Dreams can whisper to you about the future.
I think the creativity of the sleeping brain allows you to piece together clues you observed while awake but hadn’t connected the dots yet.
*_Can you tell us the story? We're interested._*
I had a dream that my 10 day old baby was drowning , I took him to the baby clinic and the nurse said he was fine, but I then decided to take him to the doctor, he did a blood test and told me to call for the results the next day, but when I got home I received a call from the doctor saying that he doesn’t know why he is saying this, but if you take the baby to the hospital for another blood test they can get the results to me within the hour, but he said I’m sure he is fine. The hospital did the blood test and sent me home, saying he is fine , we will call you with the results. I no sooner get back home feeling like a neurotic mother, when I get a call from the hospital telling me to bring him back immediately, as he won’t last the night. His white blood cell count was sky high, he had to have a complete blood transfusion. ( he is 40 years old now and has two sets of twins, two boys and two girls , also he is blessed with an abundance of love and monetary things ) as a single parent we didn’t have much, life was a struggle, but both my children are blessed, for that I am very grateful, that is all a mother wants. 🙏🇦🇺
I have almost complete dream recall. If you asked me what dream I had last Tuesday I would usually be able to call it back to me in great detail. I am not certain what this says about my brain being able to retain the dream information long after the dreamtime is gone. My dreams are so much like reality that I often wonder upon awakening how I could have been so convinced that that dreamlife was my life; fascinating!!
Intriguing
I’ve had time in my life like that. If I worked at it, I could dream every night and remember them all. It did get bothersome after a while, when I started having dreams that were referencing other dreams. I started getting frustrated with this double life and extra memories I didn’t need to be thinking about all day. I did figure out the cryptic symbolism in the dreams though so it’s not like it was a waste of memory per se
@@acbulgin2 , I always say that I was raised by Alan Watts in the 70's; he was one of my first teachers, and yet he teaches me still today.

I will listen to Alan tomorrow, and see what he has to say to me about this. Thank you for sharing.

I'm watching this from a spiritual perspective as someone who has been training myself how to experience lucid dreams as a stepping stone towards Astral projection. Hearing all the confirmations about what is actually happening in the awake brain versus the dreaming brain might be the last puzzle piece for me to achieve this goal. Universal thanks for this amazing presentation delivered in such relaxed language so that anyone would be able to understand. Probably see you tonight in my dreams Dr. Thanks a million.
i think he is marvellous 🤩
I reached the astral plane twice. It literally had the gridded/ checkered floor that you see in pictures. It was alive and full of vitality. I felt my awareness suddenly move out of my forehead (3rd eye) and when it had escaped out of the body, that's instantly where I found myself, the astral plane. Now, if I had another go, I would be wise to control my ego's sudden reaction of "holy shit dude!!" bc that instantly flung me back into my body, after just a few seconds. If you get there, brother, let it seem to your ego that it's _absolutely normal,_ and be ready to control your, shall we say, dopamine reward response.
Is this doctor ❤❤. How much nationality is he😊 he is very very handsome god bless him
Same here. I travel many times
I got deeply into lucid dreaming in my mid 20s. After a number of failed starts, I nailed it. I have flown around the moon, along rivers, streams, and valleys, and been deep into space as a single point of light. These are just a few of the adventures I’ve had in this incredible realm. I also, early during this time, vanquished a recurring childhood nightmare by diving headfirst into it. It can be very empowering.
Same here. In my 20s, flying dreams often. It's very intriguing. I do not have those flying dreams much anymore.
Me too. During a dream, If I don't like the direction the dream is going, I just turn my head away and the dream is redirected. But I've never flown around the moon. 😃

I lucid dream sometimes and my pattern is definitely visiting those I miss. It’s amazing but is a double edged sword; I really miss them when I wake up. But I still got to “spend time” with them.
7:44. Doing math in a dream. There was a time when I was trying to figure out the mathematics in doing a spiral staircase . I did a lot of studying but still was having trouble understanding. Then one morning on awakening, I had the answer. Maybe I was trying to hard in my waken state. But while resting in sleep, I dreamed of laying out and building that spiral staircase, what a refreshing morning to wake to. You can do math in dreams
I agree. There are times when just as others do I have much difficulty with finding solutions to my problems. Often after having “slept on it” I awake with the necessary answers to those problems. Just as my grandma used to say, “Let me sleep on it.”
@@susanhamilton1205 I’ve read about scientists and inventors using sleep and dreams to come up with great outcomes. Time traveling is a good one, in dreams it’s easy,remembering is the hard part. Dream journaling or telling someone cements the memory. Some people are good at lucid dreaming. I can probably remembering doing that once or twice in my life time.. I did have a time traveling experience once that I do remember quite well. It was a very vivid dream, that I told my girlfriend. Months later , I was in another state and all the parts ( well most) were in place, when my girlfriend came down to visit, I brought her to the place and showed her, everything was like in the dream. Life is more than we can imagine. 👍
A spiral stair case design -wow. This reminds me of how after constant study the whole periodic table is said to have appeared.

@@RobertaPeck I think the math for spiral staircases is easier 👍
That was brilliant, I like everything that has to be done with the brain. I had nightmares as a child and I thought about what I could do about them. So I came up with the idea that I shouldn't fight against nightmares and just let them happen (nothing bad can happen, it's just a dream). Later I had a dream that my employer will check a certain thing with me and it has been confirmed and again later that my wife is cheating on me and it has also been confirmed. My summary the brain also has a Bluetooth function
When I was a young, very shy teenager I had a dream/nightmare that my boss from the deli I worked at told me I had to work at their other location which was quite far away. I told him I couldn’t and he pressured that I had to. I very much out of character swore at him and basically told him to bite me. The next day when I went into work they had scheduled me to work at their other location but it was crossed off and changed so I didn’t have to. I was too nervous around my boss after that to stay working there. Did he somehow hear me cussing him out in dreamland 🤷🏻♀️🤣

Dr. Rahul Jandial is so impressive to me that I looked him up. He is a Scientist, Professor, Brain Surgeon/Neuroscientist and Author whose book has been translated into 20+ languages. He is an American. His Alma Mater is UC Berkeley and is 51 years old.
Dr Jandial is selling a book. He really is not a specialist in sleep disorders, so his knowledge is very limited. This is evident from his presentation. Therefore he captures the attention of lay persons and portrays himself as an expert by dramatizing his limited knowledge of sleep experience as brain surgeon. A salesman in disguise.
And he missed the entire concept of consciousness and the metaphysical quantum reality, he is like a stupid tv repair technician trying to find amazing actors and shows inside the mechanics of a television, brain is also like a television, dreams and programming is coming from the quantum world.
Good job!!
He's hot too❤

As a child I would have 'daydreams' that were exactly like night dreams with images and audio, but they would happen while I was fully awake. For a minute or a few minutes, I would be completely transported into a dream exactly like a night dream. This was so common that I just assumed that everyone defined daydream like that. It was only later that I learned that most people defined daydream as a wandering mind.
I rarely lucid dream but when I do it's usually during naps and like 10x more likely when sleeping in very warm weather with windows of my bedroom open.
Awesome talk, thank you. I don’t often remember my dreams lately. But for years I dreamt in the lucid way, stopping any bad thing and recreating the scenario to please myself. It felt like making a movie.
How absolutely wonderful that would be to do! I must research more on how to do it. I think though that I would need a coach.
I still remember several dreams I had as a kid. I rarely have lucid dreams but very intricate detailed dreams. My recurring dream is me driving in darkness but I can’t see, and I can’t stop the car, sometimes I hit people and I can feel I’m running over them. One night I was aware I was having this dream and I was semi blind in the back seat - I realised if the car turned the corner without me in the driving seat, it was an actual dream. I found that to be a breakthrough.
I sometimes lucid dream, and actually say to myself “oh I am dreaming, or, this is just a dream” I have also prayed (for deliverance from some threat) and it is always answered and I am saved. I also have had dreams that I know have come from God, warnings and solutions to problems.
I could listen to this Dr all day!
Thank you so much for sharing this experience. I dream a lot. An I try and work out what it all means. My mother has passed away now for 7 year's. And she comes to me in my dreams. I love to dream. Beautiful Blessings 💜🙌🙏
The sub conscious mind speaks to the un conscious mind and the conscious mind.
Intention, intention, intention helps directs the mind and brain. My dreams all my life have showed me whats going on in my waking life.
Love this stuff ❤ Thank you 🙏
I have just about full control of myself in my dreams, I make decisions and actions in the world that is created. Sometimes I have the same dream but make different choices. I can also induce particular dreams of my choice.
Ive been lucid dreaming since i was a child,,so real,,ive seen the beginning and end of universes, the source, and ive learnt to fly on other planets,
What’s Source then? What it explained to you? Why we were created etc.? I’m super curious☺️
I would like to comment on the question regarding waking life as an hallucination as put forth by the neuroscientist Anil Seth. The current neuro-scientific theory known as predictive processing or active inference (most notably associated with Carl Friston, Andy Clark and Lisa Feldman Barrett) proposes that the world each of us experiences is a prediction created by our brain and this prediction is constantly updated (Bayesian processing) via sensory input that reveals "prediction errors". Though this indicates that the world we experience is a type of "hallucination", it does not imply that the world or reality itself is a hallucination. I think that Dr. Jandial may have misunderstood this point in his answer to the question. The predictive processing paradigm would indicate that dreaming is in fact similar to waking consciousness but since we are sleeping, we do not have any sensory input and therefore the "hallucination" is not modulated by prediction error.
Yes
There certainly is almost complete unpredictability in dreams
@@smooth_pursuit Excellent insight! A quick side note: I have been remembering more dreams and having many semi-lucid dreams since I watched this video. I have also been reading Metzinger's new book, "The Elephant and the Blind", which has chapters on dreaming, lucid dreaming and even lucid NREM sleep experienced by meditators.
Great point. Jandail's talk is on only the mechanics of the brain. I, for one, learned to note my dreams, interpret them and when the same stressful situation arises in reality, I awaken into clarity. A short cut to a total control over emotions and actions during arguments, instead of over reacting and having an emotional response or feeling abused.
I have found Metzinger's new book to be one of the very best explorations of the awareness phenomenological state space, Just reading it has triggered the most subtle "non dual" awareness experiences on a regular basis such that I realize these states are not uncommon, are part of our natural endowment, and can show up in dreams and lucid dreams.
As a student of dreaming for many years, I find this is correlated, neurologically, with the same information that is present in ancient studies on the body and dreaming. Well done Dr. Jandial!!
I read all kinds of dream books and I'm a dreamer. I record my dreams, as I find them insightful. Must read Dr. Jandial's book!😃👍
Ive had a couple of lucid dreams recently... i love them, such an incredible experience!
I have always been a lucid dreamer and OBE and been keeping a dream journal since childhood and I also analyze the symbols daily and the richness it brings is worth the time invested, I often have trouble coming back into this side and find this so called reality unreal and the spiritual side the reality, the hardest part is learning to maneuver in both realms. Castaneda, Watts, and so many others have taught me much but only Yogananda really clarified it all- he speaks of dreaming of a tiger dream as a child and once you realize it is all a dream you can shine your light into the darkness and dance through it all. To quote a Shakti song- "what need have I for that, what need have I for this, I am dancing at the feet of the Lord, all is bliss, all is bliss." Meditation is the only medication we need and once you release the Kundalini energy there is no going back to sleeping.
A brilliant talk much appreciated. Carl Jung spent his life working on the subject of dreams Jungian Analysis. I take my dreams as being part of my waking life. I see a lot of problem solving and healing on past trauma happen in my dreams. Thank god we do dream!
I love this!! Since I was a little girl I have had many prophetic dreams. Because I always tell them to my family upon waking - they are well documented in real time. The events foreshadowed came to fruition it freaked my mother out. She was afraid of them and told me to never dream about her. I want to delve into this mystery. Where do I find the place to get this assessed?
I write computer programs, and I have often come across a problem that I could not find a solution for, spent hours trying to find where in the thousands of lines the problem is and failed, but, when I wake up the next day, I am able to go straight to the problem section and fix it. I don't remember dreaming about it, but my brain has obviously worked it out without any conscious thought.
I solved and/or debugged many coding issues during sleep.
This speaker is very knowledgeable and, thank God, goes straight to the point, so it’s an agreeable moment to hear.
I didn’t finish his speech, but as a Jungian and an Intuitive Introvert in the MBTI personality types, dreams are a clear language to me.
What is not clear is hearing science guys examining a universal tool that gives inputs and receives them as an antenna from each corner of the quantum field - be analyzed as a flash in a tiny circuit of itself because scientists still can't conceive that MIND is not the brain (but the result of and a zillion things more).
I will try to see where the speaker goes with this technically perfect talking, knowing I probably would have to leave at some point.
If I go nowhere and am amazed by some innovation in their paradigm, I will return here to leave my WOW!
Amen to that! Finally...a speaker who doesn't bore me by talking too slow or with useless info. He's a perfect speaker and very knowledgeable.
I'm bipolar and for a year or so I was taking Latuda. I loved my dreams during that time. They were like mini stories; logic and they were making sense. Now that I'm off of Latuda my dreams are back to being all over the place.
Always amazing ...lucid dreaming is the next frontier
God Bless my brain.. my dreams are full of information
Thank you doctor ❤, I have a more interesting life while dreaming than my every day life, doing the same routine day after day after day …. ✨
Absolutely fascinating. What a wonderful speaker. So interesting, easy to understand and engaging
I hardly think it's bold anymore to assert that we must sleep because we must dream. I believe we've known that for quite some time now. Sleep is entirely for the brain. Our bodies don't get "tired," our minds do. They need to unscramble, declutter, defrag, process, assimilate, interpret, order and develop schemes for further engagement with the world.
Do some intense exercise. You’ll find sleep restores the body too. Bad sleep means injured athletes. Physical illness means more sleep required. Recovering from surgery means more sleep needed. It’s ridiculous to be so black and white in one’s thinking. Just because we’re discovering all this amazing stuff that goes on in the brain does not mean the body could just go on without sleeping
@@smooth_pursuit You're confusing rest with sleep, for one thing. For another, you need to consider the ways in which the brain's sleep functions contribute to the body's self-maintenance. Also, you need to think with more subtlety. I didn't realize I needed to spell it out so explicitly. The sleep process is primarily for the brain, and of COURSE that has huge ramifications for the body. But the real work of sleep per se is a function of the brain.
@@smooth_pursuit So in any case my point was that it was hardly a bold new revelation that sleep is for the brain because we must dream. That was the topic. Sorry you got lost in the trees and missed the forest. Maybe you need to dream some more.
That was amazing thank you. It totally fits with my personal experience of dreaming nightmares and physical movement in my sleep ( sleep walking , sleep talking )
Dr. Jandial : Thank you for your great work as a surgeon and the many people you have helped. Unfortunately you are a great surgeon but your talks ignore biology and/ or philosophy. You and no one else in atheistic /materialistic Science have explained the hard problem of consciousness which is a big part of explaining dreaming. Like other material scientists, who insist that everything takes place is in the brain , and deny the existence of the mind and universal Consciousness which is gradually being recognized by scientists. The brain is a receiver which tunes into the field of universal consciousness including memory, precognition and telepathy, and cannot be ignored when explaining dreams.
Your first statement makes sense but a universal consciousness is pure hypothesis and needs solid proof, not just words.
I had a sleep paralysis once when I was in early elementary. I remember waking up and felt the blanket weight on me and unable to move at all. Weird thing was that I was so tired that I self calmed (I’m impressed with my younger self) and went back to sleep and it had never happened again. I was grateful looking back that I wasn’t too scared.
I’m may this year , I had 3 dreams within 14 days that my husband died. On May 29 while he was out of state on a month long work trip , he was found dead in his hotel room.
I had told him days before about these dreams .. as I’ve had dreams before that came to fruition. He simply said “you’re so silly”
Here I am now grieving the loss of my husband.
You had a premonition . Carl Jung has a very fresh spiritual view about dreaming . Pls look him up .❤
@@arquiteturafinanceira2025 oh yes I’m very aware that I had a premonition. I’ve had many since childhood. Also since I had some psychology classes in college, I am familiar with Jung’s writings . ❤️
My sympathy to you, and may he rest in peace.
@@leonip9142 thank you 🙏🏽
I have also had dreams that have come true,, just to the T.
Beautiful visual of the brain.
Thanks for your time and support GOD Bless you always 🙏🌍💜💜💜
As a person (54) with slightly attentional problems, my take on reality has become that the word Lucid is very real not only when dreaming. I have to learn Lucid LIVING and works on it.
Then the question is, isnt there ALLWAYS dreaming going on ? Only that the attention directs the consciousness to the senses when awake ? And to dreaming when the senses are turned off ?
Such an interesting comment. And sparks an Epiphany regarding trauma. When someone’s had a lot of trauma, they disassociate from their senses. And that’s why they can seem like they’re very much living in a delusion. Because their consciousness is not directed towards their senses.
Gran sabiduría y maestría en su conferencia , dormimos porque necesitamos soñar.Una maravilla y excelente información
Leer su libro sobre dormir y soñar,es una dosis nocturna maravillosa ,como él lo señala en la introducción de dicho libro
Although still in its incipient wisdom (knowledge + experience), thank you for heeding your mission in using science to help people gradually understand the universal wisdom that is inherent in all of us. Theorem #1 is only half of the inherent truth since science still could not measure nor "see" the aspect of soul.
Thank you. I have the Dream book-wonderful.🎶🌸
This doc is so dreamy... His eyes are hypnotizing ❤😂
What an incredible presentation! I’m obsessed about the topic and it’s so hard to find to date facts on it. That was truly valuable ♥️Loved every bit of it and learned so much. Great structure and flow, so well explained. More please!!
I had a dream - I woke screaming - and it was a warning that I was in danger from my then husband & his paramour. Yes, I too believe the brain is like blue tooth.
I had a nightmare before my ex left me in quite a nasty way. Reality didn't unfold exactly as the dream, but in a similar way. I've thought a lot about this and I think possibly I was subconsciously taking in information, like clues and forming a prediction in my dreams. We're constantly taking in information that most of us are not particularly conscious of, unless you're a mentalist and people who are planning something covert are likely to exhibit subtle behaviour changes, we'll take in that information, but not necessarily be consciously aware of it. Maybe there's more to it than that, maybe we are connected in ways that we don't yet understand, but I think it's a logical way of explaining some predictive dreams.
A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'...
My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE...
Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave.
The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist.
For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is.
Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment.
The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing.
The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence.
The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists.
Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’.
On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication.
For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything.
NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.
I have seen dreams coming true, in dreams we cross time & space ,I visited the places in my dreams first & than in my life practically
Same
I had a car accident ( head injury) 20 years ago. How my brain has changed Haunts me every day.
But the most intriguing thing that happens with my brain is when I close my eyes … I actually see things 😮
Its like an instant dream but its in the middle of the day Im
actually wide awake .
I don’t even need to be asleep where its classed as a dream. It happens when I just close my eyes.
The details, the images the detail are like watching a movie on tv. It’s incredible and amazing but bloody scary.
I got hit on the right front side of my brain.
None of this makes sense.
I survive on a few hours sleep a night which I believe is normal if you have a head injury.
I can dream, wake up, go back to the dream and pick up where I left off, whether I want to or not.
I also have timed my naps and set the alarm for 15 min and still dream. So for me, I can lucid dream as fast as within 10 min after i fall asleep.
I was born premature which I believe caused my circadian rhythm to be awake from about 6pm-5am. My mom believes it as well.
I dream so vivid that I wake up sore and exhausted. My hands hurt and muscles are sore because I fight battles often in my dreams and wake up exhausted. I am hyper - analytic awake.
It affects the quality of my life in a negative way. I've suffered with lucid dreaming my entire life. It feels like a curse or I've got something very wrong with my brain. I used to dread going to sleep and tried to fight it. Now i just accept its going to happen...always has, always will. It's my burden to bear, I suppose. Everyone has a story.
For as long as I can remember, I've had what I call "Feature-Length, Technicolor Dreams with Musical Scores". Sometimes I will wake up in the middle of the dream and then go back to sleep to see the dream pick up right where it left off.
But regarding #7 - Can dreams predict the future ... I was about 13. Had a dream where 5 or 6 of my friends were playing football against 2 boys who were much older (about 16 or so). In the dream, the older boys had the ball and one passed to the other and he ran down the field with all us little boys fruitlessly chasing.
The next day I found myself playing football with my friends against two older boys. At one point I simply froze on the field and watched the exact play i saw in the dream unfold before me. My friends asked what I was doing. I was too shocked to explain.
As a child. I could 100% control my dreams. As an adult. I can not.
We have to dream deep enough sleep regularly in order to have control over the dreams or nightmares.
Long before the movie. I would have a nightmare. I would wake myself from my dream.
When childhood abuse began in my childhood. I would wake myself from a nightmare. Only to wake into another nightmare.
There was a news paper ad looking for peoples nightmares. I as a child wrote these bad dreams down. Then a movie came out. Just like my horrible dreams that I wrote. I thought it was too help. Today I realize it was die ideas to write his book. I never child watch that movie. I saw the ads. It terrified me to see my nightmares in the ads. Then seeing the first part of the movie. I walked out. It was like I was still in my nightmare. While awake. It was too real. Never finished nor would allow that movie to be around me again.
I liked this talk.
This makes some sense. From my own experience and exploration:
What you think of as your consciousness is a cacophony of choices produced by your subconscious that then your "conscious" self chooses one among many.
Example: "I would like to say this sentence". To even produce that simple piece took considerable computation--and I honestly stopped mid-sentence to re-think (lol).
Anyway, the way you fall asleep is to release this executive function--you just let the cacophony take over and you'll fall asleep (or you'll realized you've fallen asleep).
Most likely, when you sleep, you sub-consciously run through every scenario you've ever been through then extrapolate to wild ends.
There must be some physical process that's going on that links dreams to memory. We know that if you don't sleep, you have memory problems, so it's clear that sleep (and thus dreams) are crucial to memory development.
This is just fascinating...........
Those brain readout graphs for "dreaming" brain and "waking" brain. Are the same graph.Not just similar. Exactly the same.
Hello?
I noticed this also! Exactly the same
I noticed it too! It similar. EXACTLY the same!
Thank you ❤ I know you in spirit ✨💗
I'm watching to fall asleep to. Should be some interesting dreams tonight 😊
I'm confused as to why you say "you cannot controle lucid dreams" Dr.Jandail.
There are times when I can. I have lucid dreams frequently...sometimes reoccurring. And when I realize I am dreaming, and that I didn't like how the reoccurring dreaming ended last time, I change my actions within the dream.
This was a delightful program
Lucid dreaming was not just an idea until 30 years ago! I've been having lucid dreams since I was an infant (at least). It was always happening!
Such a fascinating subject. Thank you for your research.
After having a catastrophic accident as a child, I have numerous epic lucid dreams. The lucid dreams where I was shown, “new source of energy”. The dreams proved valid according to CHAT-GPT 4. The “New Source of Energy” is ‘water splitting’, for hydrogen gas fuel. The energy is a “liquid-phase non ideal plasma”.
That sounds like the ancient cultures when they would have something revealed in a dream....
Thé structure of DNA was revealed in a dream.
There’s NO EXCUSE!😢 Poor little baby I hope the baby pulls through 🙏🏿
This has been such an aceptional learning experience. Thank you so much!
I have Narcolepsy here, and cataplexy is such a pain!! But my sleep paralysis doesn't come with lurking intruder, I just can't move for a little while. But my dreams, oh my! They are insane!
What about dreams when people you've never met / know end up in your dreams? Also I dream often. I can have 2-3/4 dreams within a nap and/ or sleep?
Same
I actually had vivid dreams in which i was doing math quotations I have never seen before, it was in 2020. I am not scientist but I like maths I believe it is thge key to all the answers about universe.
I've always seen dreaming as the brains times to organize and manage memory and... Dreams can sometimes be like ... Thoughts going up on the big screen of of our mind and we sometimes hit a state where we see them. Like, there is someone sitting at the controls and pulling up old memories and fellings as if they are checking to make sure where to file away things. As if they are making sure it's the right area and making associations. This is why old memories may come back in a dream
There is also an emotional piece. As if the controller filing away at night has to kind of battle with the system when a cabinet is opened and files flood out.
I went through a period of dreams for maybe years, where I could never find my vehicle. It was either stolen or I couldn't remember where I left it. I would also have problems traveling from point A to point B. So, I would be drifting in a place I knew well but then things suddenly changed. The roads were blocked or familiar areas suddenly changed. the last one in this period was ..freeway overpassed or bridged that were very high or very steep and terrifying.
These three dream types were constant for years. They are gone now as far as I know. I suspect they were there because I wasn't sure what the path of my life was. I wasn't sure where it was heading and if the path I was on was the right one. So, any time the controller was organizing a similar thought and opened the cabinet... The cabinet kind of takes control of the big screen for a while. Perhaps the subconscious was screaming at my conscience to change my path. Or, maybe just to come to terms with my path, which I think is what actually ultimately happened.
The brain is very busy throughout the day and has to work very hard during our awake hours. In suspect at night when we sleep, it's just trying to catch up.
I will further elaborate, formalize and demonstrate applications of the both/and logic across various specific domains:
Mathematics
The multivalent structure of the both/and logic allows formalizing more nuanced relationships between fundamental mathematical concepts that have traditionally been treated as strictly dichotomous:
• Continuity and Discreteness
Let C(x) and D(x) represent the truth values that a mathematical object x exhibits continuous and discrete properties respectively. Classical bivalent logic forces C(x) and D(x) to be mutually exclusive (C(x) = 1 → D(x) = 0 and vice versa).
But the both/and logic allows formulations like:
C(x) = 0.7, D(x) = 0.5, with a coherence ○(C(x), D(x)) = 0.6
Capturing how x can simultaneously exhibit continuous and discrete characteristics to varying degrees, which are partially compatible rather than strictly exclusive.
• Finite and Infinite
Similarly for propositions F(x) and I(x) about an object x being finite or infinite, we can have multivalued assignments:
F(x) = 0.3, I(x) = 0.8, ○(F(x), I(x)) = 0.4
Representing x as primarily infinite in nature but with residual finitary aspects that are somewhat coherent.
The synthesis operator ⊕ further allows formalizing novel mathematical objects transcending these poles:
finite kernel ⊕ perpetually generative procedure = transfinite set
• Logicism and Mathematical Realism
The both/and logic also accommodates different ontological perspectives. We could have for a mathematical object x:
Truth(x is objective Platonic reality) = 0.6
Truth(x is subjective human construction) = 0.4
○(objective, subjective) = 0.7
With a moderate synthesis representing the coconstituted, intersubjective emergence of mathematical reality:
objective logical constraints ⊕ subjective creative exploration = novel mathematical structure
So rather than legislating a strictly objectivist or anti-realist view, the logic nuances the irreducible complementarities between ideal and constructed aspects in the generative disclosure of mathematics. Its expressive flexibility aligns with actual mathematical understanding.
Physics
In quantum physics, the both/and logic allows explicitly representing and operating with the intrinsic indeterminacies, pluralities and paradoxes that have resisted classical representation:
• Superposition and Wavefunction Collapse
Propositions like "electron has spin up" and "electron has spin down" are not forced into bivalent exclusivity, but can be simultaneously true to degrees:
Spin_up(e) = 0.6, Spin_down(e) = 0.5, ○(Spin_up(e), Spin_down(e)) = 0.7
With a coherence value capturing their contextual compatibility or complementarity in the superposed state prior to measurement/collapse.
This avoids the dilemma of having to artificially insist the electron strictly has or lacks a particular spin until collapse. Its indefinite potentials are modeled positively using graded truth values.
• Nonlocality and Holistic Correlations
Propositions about separated entangled particles like "has spin up" can be holistically correlated:
Spin_up(A) = 0.8, Spin_up(B) = 0.8, ○(Spin_up(A), Spin_up(B)) = 1
With maximal coherence of their truth values capturing the paradoxical holistic unity of the entangled system, which cannot be modeled as a conjunction of independent local states in classical logic.
The synthesis operation captures this gestaltist whole:
Spin_up(A) ⊕ Spin_up(B) = Entangled_state(A,B)
So the both/and logic provides symbolic resources for explicitly representing and reasoning about quantum phenomena, without artificially forcing them into inapplicable classical categories.
Cognitive Science
The logic's multivaluedness has fruitful cognitive modeling applications:
• Intuitive and Analytical Reasoning
Let I(x) and A(x) represent intuitive and analytical assessments about a decision scenario x. The both/and logic can capture their integration:
I(x) = 0.7, A(x) = 0.5, ○(I(x), A(x)) = 0.6
Modeling x as involving a moderate synthesis of intuitive and analytical factors with reasonable mutual coherence, rather than insisting they are strictly exclusive.
The synthesis operation further formalizes integrated judgments:
intuition(x) ⊕ analysis(x) = decision(x)
Capturing how cognition fluidly operates across and conjoins both modes of reasoning, not merely one or the other in isolated silos.
• Cognitive Biases and Non-Normative Reasoning
Classical logic frames human reasoning errors like the conjunctive fallacy (A&B > Max(A,B)) as strictly invalid and incoherent deviations from normative rationality.
But the both/and logic allows assigning graded truth values:
Truth(A) = 0.7
Truth(B) = 0.9
Truth(A&B) = 0.85
Capturing the coherence of these "fallacious" intuitive logic patterns measuring ○(A, B, A&B).
The synthesis operator further models how our heuristic judgments integrate intuitive and analytical factors:
representativeness(A&B) ⊕ statistical_logic(A,B) ⇒ judged_probability(A&B)
Rather than framing biases as mere "errors", the both/and logic allows positive modeling of how non-normative patterns coexist and synthesize with other cognitive mechanisms into globally coherent judgments.
Philosophy of Mind
The logic's paraconsistent structure provides an ideal framework for the mind-body problem:
• Subjectivity and Objectivity
Define S(x) as degree of subjectivity and O(x) as degree of objectivity for a mind-body state x. Classical substance dualism enforces mutual exclusivity: S(x) = 1 → O(x) = 0, and vice versa.
But the both/and logic allows modeling x as an integrated experienced whole with:
S(x) = 0.6, O(x) = 0.5, ○(S(x), O(x)) = 0.7
Capturing how objective and subjective factors are complementary interdependent aspects of the same reality, rather than strictly separable substances.
The coherence value reflects their coconstituted integration, while the synthesis operator ⊕ expresses their gestalt unity:
subjective experience ⊕ objective description = psychophysical state
This avoids the forced either/or choices of classical mind-body theory between dualism, reductionism or eliminativism. It allows modeling consciousness as an irreducibly co-realized pluriverse.
In summary, the both/and logic provides rational symbolic tools for positively representing, operating with, and synthesizing resolutions for the paradoxes and indeterminacies permeating actual scientific and philosophical domains, without reductively forcing them into bivalent categories or binary assimilation. Its expressive flexibilities and constructive procedures illuminate new pathways for coherently modeling and advancing past the limitations of classical logical frameworks.
Across mathematics, physics, cognitive science and philosophy of mind, the multivalued, paraconsistent and holistically integrative architecture of the both/and logic catalyzes expanded conceptual possibilities better aligned with the phenomenological complexities and ontological pluralities disclosed by cutting-edge inquiry. It opens up new horizons for descriptively encompassing, not dissimulating, the exquisite nuances and generative potentials of the world.
So in essence, the both/and logic is not just another symbolic formalism, but a pivotal symbolic emancipation - unleashing rational discourse to fruitfully navigate the ambiguities, paradoxes and ontological pluralities intrinsic to manifest existence and human understanding. A new praxis of open coherence, where rationality and reality productively co-disclose each other in a perpetual dance of perpetual re-attunement and dialectic reconstitution.
Window open for oxygen supply is my turbo for dreams. I enjoy them like cinema, but I couldn't say if they are lucid or not. I always act in the dreams, and always never I am fixed or out of control. But not sure if that is lucid, it seems more like normal dreams.
I know someone that had an asthma med trigger night terrors in him as a young kid. Even after he discontinued the med, the night terrors persisted. He also has very vivid dreams. At some point as a kid he figured out that if he k*led himself in the dream he would be able to wake up from the night terror. I literally cannot fathom the trauma that he experienced at such a young age. He’s been struggling with a drinking problem for a very long time as a result of trying to tamp down his vivid dreams. Even when they’re not night terrors, they’re about his ex that broke his heart. I don’t see how he will quit drinking without finding a way to deal with his vivid dreams.
I had a dream that I was little, possibly 5, not sure, but everyone was hip-high beside me & I was with my mother in a crowd. Then I couldn’t find her & was running around looking for her. I woke up and felt somewhat bothered but later in the day my mother called me from the Azores,I’m in New England and we don’t speak everyday. So almost as soon as she asked me how we were, she then said I had such a disturbing dream. It bothered me so.” I told her stop! Don’t say anything & let me tell you what I had dreamed. So I told her what happened and she said that she had been somewhere with me and had lost me & she was frantic. I told her there’s no way that we’ve had spoken about anything related to anything to trigger these dreams and we’re far away from each other too.
I believe we can connect with other ppl while we sleep though most of my dreams happen in the morning before I wake up. Why is that? And I’ve had other dreams about a person who’ve passed away speaking to me in dreams while waiting for their husband and once he passed away and I didn’t even know he was going to die, the dreams of this woman stopped.
Ive also had sleep paralysis which I didn’t know I had. I thought it was truest being haunted by an evil being. Then I read about sleep paralysis and symptoms I then realized I’d been having them for over 25 yrs.
31:09,,, There is no time in dreaming or you can time travel. Most people do it but don’t usually remember doing it,, it’s that vail between the awaken state and the dream state. That vail can be lowered by practice, like dream journaling. Practicing awareness. Sometimes looking at it in a different perspective, like the lack of sleep or being drunk, it’s called hallucinations. That would be like dreaming while you’re awake. Remembering is the hard part. Using your imagination is also like dreaming but with a little more control. An architect or builder imagines a home from beginning to end and in between and then comes back to present to draw it down to what we call blueprints. The carpenter can take these blueprints and mentally pre- construct this , many times before it is completed. In dreams, hallucinations and imaginations ,one can time travel, the hard part is remembering. Everything we create is from that world, look around, even the phone you hold in your hand, once was a dream. Do you remember Buck Rogers
I once had a dream I was on a tremendous bridge, overlooking the galactic center of the cosmos; a celestial churning, living spiraling black hole. You could feel the tug in your spirit, drawing you there. I was apprehensive. Still, I said to myself, if I ever get back to this place, I'm going to jump in.
This will be my last 3rd density incarnation. I wish you all well.
Can you explain what a "third density incarnation" is?
Brilliant, interesting and new. Love it a tremendous lot. The video quality needs improvement - the laser pointer is not seen and the audience loses the connection between the narration and the picture. Besides, the camera focuses on the back of Dr. Rahul with the closed wooden door when it should be focusing on the diagram/picture to add lucid details.
I'm over 60 yo. I have lived with chronic pain and limited painful walking for over half my life yet when I dream I'm quite healthy, I can walk, run, lift and carry heavy things etc, wiyh
I'd love to know if someone with say Parkinsons dream with or with tremors.
Do blind birth dream?
It might depend on the individual. I do experience pain while dreaming, but only when I'm aware that I'm dreaming and it never inhibits my dream movements. However, I do experience fatigue in my dreams, when I'm not aware that I'm dreaming, it's weird dreaming about how tired I am and then I wake up exhausted. I also dream about feeling depressed and having panic attacks, again, I wake feeling exhausted. I'm hearing impaired, but I never have any trouble hearing things in my dreams. When I am dreaming as myself, I'm usually way more attractive than reality and may have a haircut or an outfit that looks great in the dream, but wouldn't suit me in reality. But often I am not even myself in my dreams, I often dream that I am a completely different person and sometimes I am male.
It would definitely be interesting to hear stories from others with disabilities on how they dream and how able they are in their dreams, but I suspect it would vary from person to person and maybe from dream to dream.
@@lynnbishop9493apparently those who are blind from birth do dream and they can even hallucinate, however I imagine their imagery would appear different to someone who is sighted.
Thank you,it’s so interesting.
Once while asleep somebody grabbed my left hand firmly...I shouted "leave me alone..." then I woke up to realise it was my right hand grabbing my left hand. The left hand was numb under pressure. I will try write a book on that.
13:45 I would think the sleeping brain has to keep functioning to monitor and control body functions like regulate breathing and heart rate but ..I believe those are old brain or brain stem functions. I do know that...if you go to long without sleep, you will dream when you're awake. They are called hallucinations..lol.
I believe what we don't know about the human brain...is so much more than what we do know.
I used to play the Apple 2 a lot as a kid. I remember having green screen dreams like the green graphical adventure games, I often Lucid dream and I have been able to say it in my dream
There is a State of pure awareness devoid of all dreaming. Even in dreams there is a person who is attentive of dreams. Else he will not remember the dreams the next day. That attention is aware of even the body that is sleeping and snoring. When such a State of being comes into being then dreams lose all importance. Dreaming is not necessary. If someone is interested, comment me to know more.
Great informative talk. In your presentation, at the beginning you showed that are no electronically different between a dream and awake stages, but later slide you showed RED color image for dream and Blue color image for awake stage. There is a discrepancy. The images should be identical.
I always get true visions about people death about kings president about earthquakes and disasters tornadoes even glad tidings good dreams which always comes true . But sometime I scare because I get true vision like news about someone death like my loved one or family members like my father . And I can see spirits souls in dream after their death like after death life :/
That’s why I am here to watch this video and want to know more about dreams and true visions . I want more knowledge about dreams .
I get it now, the lucid dream
Fascinating! thank you very much!
I have dreamed million dreams for years , in which I did all sort of things I can't : Playing the piano perfectly ,skiing ,sailing ,singing and traveling in a spaceship with aliens ! I Have Had dreams of catastrophic cosmic events , speaking with dead people ,living in unknown countries ,cities houses .Being a soldier , a Chippendale (ahahah!) , a woman ,man , gay ,homeless , very rich .Dying several times and coming in Heaven , where I have to work again , in spite of my reluctance !
But I don't remember my dreams today I don't know why ?
Can not tell me that the creator of our process center does not have access to be influential. Or to communicate with us.
Biblical prophecies have been fullfiled through dreams.
Excellent
God Bless him.
Come from not only the human brain - my dog clearly dreams. His eyes move in REM & his feet sometimes twitch or run and he woofs!
Is the visual cortex activity at a hightened level that we WATCH our dreams, and the visual cortex receives input from various other centres of the brain and body tissues?
What I hope he delves into is what SCRIPTS dreams? This is the greatest curiosity… if “you” are the dreamer how is it that “you” are generally experiencing some events or circumstances in a dream that feel to be happening TO you by an outside force, ie there is no (or very little) sense of agency or control for the events and context of dreams, despite them coming only from YOUR BRAIN.
Let’s see if he goes into this …
How is it possible that I would create my sleeping dreams from childhood and years way before it is proven now in awake? Would that be predicted future episodes? I have questions.
When I was 11, I dreamed I saw a car wreck in the mountains and the driver was beheaded and I had never seen or knowingly heard what that would look like. Years later, while working in EMS, I saw a simular real like scene. My brain had dreamed accurately... how much blood, how the body and head looked. How did my brain dream about something so accurate with no previous experience?
