  • Neuroscientist, neurosurgeon and dream doctor, Rahul Jandial, looks at how accurate portrayals of dreams are in popular films and TV shows. He explains how we dream, why we dream and what the content of our dreams may mean.
    You can get his new book, This Is Why You Dream: What your sleeping brain reveals about your waking life, here: www.penguin.co.uk/books/45463...
    Dreams are a source of mystery. They have changed the course of individual lives and the world, spurring business deals, inspiring art and scientific breakthroughs, triggering military invasions and mental breakdowns. Yet the source of dreams is not mysterious. They are the product of an extraordinary transformation that occurs in the brain each night when we sleep. In this pioneering book, bestselling neurosurgeon Rahul Jandial delves into the dreaming brain and shares stories from his own practice to show the astonishing impact that dreams have on our waking life. He explains how dreaming of an exam might help you score up to 20% higher, why taking a long nap could make you better at problem-solving, and even that certain dream disorders can warn you of serious diseases like Parkinson’s years ahead of other symptoms. He offers clear and compelling advice, backed by new research, to become a lucid dreamer, understand your dreaming patterns and unleash their creative power.

    The last clip from 8 1/2 was one of the best depictions of a nightmare I’ve seen in film. So eerie and unsettling and disorienting. The sudden shift in location and change of scenery is so accurate. Loved this breakdown!

    First comment! Fascinating topic, as a stroke survivor having undergone two brain surgeries I had lots of dreams and hallucinations that felt indistinguishable from reality while in a medically induced coma

      Did you know that you were semi permanently stuck in dream land basically? Or is that how it even works, is it more like you have periods of being slightly conscious and aware of external environment and then moments of unconsciousness and dreams?

      @@xpaigemonax6113 early on when I was on heavy sedatives and they had me on fentanyl those dreams and hallucinations were so real I thought they’d happened until I got home from the hospital 7.5 months later but in another ICU I was having more hallucinations and would periodically wake up surrounded by doctors looking over me telling me if I didn’t get a central IV in my neck that I would die because I wouldn’t let them I was confused, but unfortunately that was real

    I'm impressed you made a video about dreams in movies without mention Akira Kurosawa's Dreams, a movie about the 8 dreams that haunted him.

    I recently dreamed that I was myself and had my own thoughts and I was also the person I was interacting with. His thoughts didn't feel like mine but I knew what he was thinking and feeling and i was looking at myself reacting to his thoughts. It was an interesting dream.

    Dreams are literally my favourite topic. I am fascinated with them, and Inceptiom, for obvious reasons, is my favourite movie.

    Loved this. But tbh I couldn't care less about the dream logic in the film. I mean nobody knows exactly how dreams work in general. Inception, as a film, is pretty much perfect.

    Absolutely will agree with all of these points made and as I do tend to have an almost cinematic scope of dreams, ranging from pleasant to horrific, it did pique my interest to read recently that in our times of smartphones and the likes, we are still failing to incorporate them into our dreamscapes. Much to my dismay, I had to find out that most of these gorgeous scenes from a recent visit to Italy that were supposedly stored on my phone were indeed dreamt up.

    I used to use time as a “tell” in dreams to see if I was really awake or not but I learned any “tell” can only last so long. If you do it enough eventually be clocks or watches in a dream will make logical sense - same with any “tell” - it’s almost like exercise, you have to switch it up if it’s expected to work

    I also find it so alarming that it’s so rare for adults to have nightmares, they are so constant for me

    I was reading Otto Rank's the Trauma of Birth and he has something to say about children's fear of small animals. Very interesting.

    Since dreams come from the brain not from an outside force then maybe our brains have untapped electrical sensors we have not discovered yet?? Such as can that brain current connect into frequencies that are around in the earth and pull it into your dream? Or our brains are set up for telepathy yet untapped, or untapped spiritual energy connection that taps to or brain in a dream?? Or can military science telepathically tap to your dream state and cause you to dream. Or can a person who has passed spring energy to brain causing a dream? Just a few thoughts I have. Can you come in contact with someone who has developed some type of energy ability maybe subliminal message on line causing a dream, can you send someone a dream? Just curious Dr if you have explored these other types of brain signal energies and what part of the brain would that be from. So interesting.

    Only thing i disagree with is the pain point. Many times ive been dreaming and felt the visceral pain from the things i dream about

    I dreamt when i was 8-9 war and that was scary. That me and my mother was used by soldiers, that i pretend to be dead in the pond and escape death.
    while i never have experienced war myself
    Other time, when grown updreamt shoe store and a friend, after about a year the scene came in reality....

    But in Rushmore, Max isn't doing math in the dream, he's dreaming about having done math. He's failing in that class and he dreams that he can effortlessly scribble on a chalkboard and that it will all be brilliant. Surely, there's a big difference. This is the equivalent to being hungry in a dream, then food magically appearing.

    Please worship the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, THE LORD GOD and try not to worry too much about the differences between the different religions and denominations, try to think about the similarities and the things they may have in common more than the differences. Daily prayer is a fundamental part that many people do not practice although it is encouraged 🙏🙏🙏🙏
    "CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD, I beg you to never force me to worship any false god and I ask you for forgiveness for my sins and immorality. Thank you for everything. Amen." 🙏🙏🙏
    Please pray this now, pray the words as you read them if you cannot look and remember them

    Dr. Jandial looks AI generated. The voice is his, but he doesn’t look well. He seems much thinner. I hope he is doing well. Great topic.
