As well as the usual neurosurgery content we make, we want to talk about some other cool parts of the brain. What's the weirdest dream you've ever had? (Keep it clean!)
I was beeing chaced by a dinosaur, then floating on a dead body in a lake inside a cave, then I am the daughter of the Russian President ( I am a male )
That's definitely up there with the weirdest
a recurring dream(nightmare) i had as a child - captured by a 'mad scientist', strapped to an operating table, then melted with acid.
@@Brainbook Yep
The one i used to dream alot when i was younger: i used to have to swim through the air & i would feel as though i was being chased but couldn't see by who or what..always the front crawl swim stroke too,🤔 in my later years, mid 40's my dreams have become much darker,and full of dread. . Since having surgery to my cervical spine etc. ( though i understand i have nerve damage &, slight damage to spinal cord) i often wonder if its related. Loved this video,thanks
Dreams are highly underrated. People don't understand how euphoric and beneficial they are, as well as the hyperrealism. It's like having your own matrix
This was a nice departure from the norm. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
This video was really interesting, i hope to become a neurosurgeon when i grow up and really enjoy your channel. Thank you for making excellent videos!
Thank you and good luck!
neurology is risky especially operating
@@elliothwang8066 no shit
Could I ask if you succeed?
At least if you grew enough to enter a med uni, so that you can report yourself on the desirable path😊
Very interesting. Yes please more like this too. Happiness, depression, anxiety, the self etc... ;)
This was so fascinating, and Alex has a perfect soothing voice to talk about it. I'd love more videos like this!
Thank you, will do!
On god this really making me want to go to college
Wonderful video. This and many more reasons is why the brain is the most fascinating part of a human... My brain just watched a video about itself. Lol
Now this is a real doctor, am proud of you Doctor.
"dreaming is a surreal and fascinating human experience."
my dream: flying potatoes, mice cult, skinless men, screaming intensifies.
I’ve dreamt about skinless men also!!
@@MniZen so like titans from AOT?
@@lunarglow5799 Yeah… more less, like burnt people xd with no skin at all!
Very useful clinical information. I live in a "dreamy" world. I dream continuosly while sleeping. I often realise I am sleeping when I start seeing dreams. I have seen dreams that dwells on the spiritul dimension of dreams. Many dreams had predicted the reality couple days ahead. I often wait for an event to happen when I see specific repetitive dreams like seeing waves. With respect to the spiritual dimension I recall a dream witnessed four decades back during my thirties. I saw the dream during my student days in USA in the early 1980s. I saw one of my farther's aunt in my dream. She was wearing clothes representing a deseased person. The phone rang while I was dreaming and the caller was one the sons of the person I was seeing in the dream. And before the caller say any word I enquired weather his mother is dead. His answer was affirmatve. He was calling from my home country the Maldives. I was receiving the call in New York city half way across the world with a time difference of 9 hours. There is definitely no rational explation to this uncident.
Wow I found this fascinating! Thank you for this video:)
This video was fascinating. Bravo!
Loved the video, very instructional, was looking for “anatomy of a dream” in the sense of “goals/desires”, but found this instead. Pretty cool! Gonna make a video on “anatomy of dreams” within the context of “wishes and desires” for life.
He is a great man as well as a great Doctor.
your content has always been one of my resources to feed my curiosity . thank you for this intersting and fascinating video !
Really enjoyed this video, thanks👍
Great help to us stemmies/ I have a left side brainstem cavernoma- I didn’t dream for 18 months post diagnosis and I reported my dreams returning as a part of healing
Very helpful
What an excellent information. Thank You for the knowledge shared
your voice is perfect for documentaries! I enjoyed it so much, I could watch this a million time!
Haha thank you!
I always felt like why do we need to live in the imperfection of the real world when our brain already has the key to utopia whenever I wake up from a perfect dream... Then I remember that we need to feed and protect ourselves in this material world to sustain a brain in the first place. I long for the moment humans will break from physical and evolutionnary strains and virtualize our consciousness to give us eternal true happiness, then we could be anything we'd ever want.
This was so beautiful and interesting☁️✨
That was really interesting! New kind of anamtomy for me ;-)
Absolutely, these topics are great to know about. I am doing sleep research myself from neuroscience perspective, let me know if I can be of any help.
hi love your videos being a neurosurgical intensive care nurse its a subject which has always fascinated me , that my reason for my specialty, thank you for your great info , regards liz
This is fascinating. I'm not sure how much research there is with sleep paralysis but I would love to see a video on it from you. The way you explain things in your videos makes it easier to understand all this complex stuff so I hope you consider it :)
Yes there have been a couple of comments about sleep paralysis actually!
Edgar Cayce had some pretty interesting experiences. Or Morgan Robertson who wrote the book Titan,where he wrote about a dream about the Titanic, before the Titanic accident happened.
I loved the video! Do you have any book recommendations on this topic (namely, recent discoveries in the neuroanatomy of dreams that touch on hypotheses for the biological function of dreaming, as opposed to classical dream theory).
We need more knowledge to be spread. Thanks ♥️
I like your work. Very well done.
Great video!!!! Doc
Brainbook...please make up a video on nightmares!! I am too prone to them! 😓😓
Yes nightmares/ night terrors!!!!!
I have nightmares & sleep paralysis every single night!!!!
i just felt like i watched a longgggggg longg movie or something , while it was just 11 minutes , i feel like i learnt soo MUCH in sucha short time wow, thankyou ✨
This video has a dreamlike quality to it
Thank you
you are great!
very. helpful and informational
Thanks for this great video.
I wonder how long you were searching for that much stock footage! Actually, some of it is too much and distracting. Maybe it's better to only keep additional video material that is actually helping to understand. Keep on going, your videos are great!
Good info🙌
Thank you so much for this video, with all of this in mind and also keeping in consideration that you are a neurosurgeon, what are your thoughts on the spiritual side on things I.e, do we or will we exsist outside of our bodies when you die? and along with this, how do we explain our conscious? I have so many questions to ask you haha!!
OMG Thank you...
It's soooo interesting... i hope you more videos like this
We have more in the pipeline!
Cool video. Please take about the part of the brain that controls fear.
Please make more such videos.
thank you
Thanks for the video. Please cover the thalamocortical system.
Thank you for putting out these simple and easy to understand videos. Just thought your Covid vid should be broadcasted via the tv so the mass population knows more !
I want more of these pls
Great content! what is music at the end card though? it was a great choice honestly!
Thank you for your effort, it will be interesting if there more neurosurgical technique contents.
They are coming!
hey, this video is really helps me for doing my school task, can you please tell me the journal or textbook you use for the content? thank u so much💕
“Will I dream?” - Hal 9000
i never thought i would watch something like this but i kind of like it
i was wondering you can give me an outline of your educational career? such as what you majored in? i hope to become a neurologist in the future and i’m very intrigued in psychology. as well as your channel! thank you
Gosh, love ur contents so so much. Why I didn’t find out ur channel earlier???
☺
Good video and nice visuals. Could you somehow illustrate the parts of the brain you mention when you do, or would it be too much extra work?
We do try but custom graphics are expensive and we don't have a co stant revenue stream :(
This is really interesting, and I love the way you explain things so a layperson can understand - thank you! In particular, the section on the right inferior frontal cortex when dreaming in 1st or 3rd person really interests me - is there anything significant found yet with the degree of which this section is hypoactive? For instance, if a person dreams in third person, but the person they see as themselves is not in anyway the same person as who they are in real life? Would this correlate to other activity (or inactivity) in other regions of the brain?
Oh yey, the author used so much anatomical terminology I thought that's a surprise someone non-expert could follow him
...
But you, madam, seem to be an expert yourself so that you thought of those abstract and hypothetical questions...
Hey can you do a video on dbs or deep brain stimulation on what are the benefits or what are the cons not having the surgery but just curious
Can you make a video about the various equipment doctors use for patients, that would be really cool
Sure thing!
Really interesting video. Had a really wacky dream this morning.
I have a question, what are the blue and green segments of the lights for?
I'm not sure. I'll look into it!
Great video! I dream every time I fall asleep and they are always extremely vivid. I can feel pain and smell. My friends always ask me about my dreams because they don’t dream like me. Is that normal? I even on a regular basis know that I’m dreaming and can control my dreams. Is there something wrong with me?
Thank you Dr. Gordon Freeman!!
Haha now that is a real compliment
@@Brainbook Just try to don't put anything on the PET that could tear our dimension. No more Black Mesa incident!! 🧠🧠🧠
Thanks Alex for this excellent video👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It's a pleasure :)
@@Brainbook Btw Alex, its Rozhel aha
@@supercalifragilisticexpial7022 Rozheeeeeeeeel
@@Brainbook eyyy "dab"
I want to be a neurosurgery nurse ☺️❤️ this is very interested ✨
I learnt at uni (I studied psychology) that you dream in black and white but then put the colour in afterwards and that always threw me off like???? lol
It doesn't seem true. But then you also realise that peripheral vision is also predominantly gray scale... say it ain't so!
Thanks for Educative video,,
Is there any research to record the video of dream ,…?..
I have a question, not directly related to dreaming but I think you’re the right person to help me with that. Most of the times I wake up tired and sleepy.. then I fall back asleep just to wake up even worse, felling extremely drowsy and fatigue... so drowsy that it’s hard to keep my eyes open... it’s painful and happens almost every day. Dr. do you have an explanation for this? Does this have to do with stages of sleep while waking up? Thank for the help Dr.
Where did you study for your medical course?
Gratitude.
More videos like this please!!!!
Will do! Any particular topics of interest?
@@Brainbook I'd love to learn about how our brains change as we get older!
Could you explain a little about DMT's role.
Maybe do one about itches? and why itching resolves it?
Hi Alex, is it correct that patients with dementia do not dream? Thanks Nick
I keep in my sleep being taken by a light figure 2 see huge devastation in my life n on this planet n i feel some how i wanted to do more n i remember feeling all empathy tword it, I then go into weeping in my dream n my husband is waking me up and im sobbing 4real as i wake up. I then feel embaressed n leave bed but stil greif until memory of dream fades. Idk whats going on. I also fly or am able to elevate 2 transport myself whetever i want at no effort, idk
I have a question for you. When i was a about 6 is when this started. When i am in a car the smaller the care worse . When i am on any flat road in a care the road starts to look like i am riding down a wall then it starts to look like every thing is upside down like riding on the bottom of the earth. Also the other thing that happens is when i wake up on my back my eyes try to roll back into my head it feels like your on a roller coaster going down the 1st big drop but not in my gut i get that in my head for about 5-7 seconds. I fight it when it happens. Also when i am just walking or standing i get the droping feeling in my head but my eye don't try to roll back. Sorry for the grammar. I would like it if you could give me any info at all opinion will work as well. I tried to go to doctors but they say it sounds like its a mental. Also i got Obama care just to try and get someone to help me but that did not work.
Nice! BTW do you ever read the new comments posted on previous videos? Just curious.
I do! I try to keep up with them all but theres Instagram and Twitter do. Plus my day job lol.
I rely on the CZcams app to feed me the latest comments but sometimes it doesnt for some reason so every couple of weeks I'll sit down and go through them all.
Thanks, @@Brainbook, Please do a video on "Human Connectome Project"
Please tell me how much books have you read so far
Can dreams repeat? I get dreams, where I have seen something bizzare, then after many days or months , see the same dream exactly same. Can you throw some light on it?
is that an operating theater? i see the lights, and i wonder how you had enough time to record this video at all. unless it was in the middle of the night or on a really slow day...
This is a simulation operating theatre. When I first started this channel I used to use a real operating theatre, usually at 2 or 3 in the morning!
Hello sir, am from karnataka, am suffering from tinnitus, & vascular loop on left side, what shall i do 😌sir
Fascinating. I'm sure in 30 years time we'll laugh at how we'd use large sensors to get a general idea of which part of the brain is active and compare it to putting a thermometer on the corner of a cpu to determine if it's running an application or idle. Someone needs to probe occipital lobe (visual cortex) with a few thousand nodes, figure out how to translate that to a crude meaningful 2D image, then see what happens when someone dreams. I'm sure the result of that will totally blow everyone's minds more so than landing on the Moon. The visual cortex seems like it could be a true window to our dreams.
What about dreaming of something that happens in réal time after dream ??
Sir , is cranioplasty Pacific implant safe !
Yea, like a Holodeck in a Spaceship it could be some Kind of weird Simulation
From which county Didi u complete Mbbs and which university,?
in lucid dreams the prefrontal cortex is still active during REM sleep
what happened when you woke up because your limb suddenly move, or is it really moved or not?
a giant cockroach waving its antennas trying to wake me up lol ! thank you and more videos like this would be appreciated !
Urgh I hate cockroaches
May i ask you something
Love from Pakistan
is it possible for someone to control their dreams?
Yes to an extent. It's called lucid dreaming!
When I was a child I've managed to control my dreams. Once I've even knew I was dreaming and tried to convince every one that they were in my dream lol
Why does sleep paralysis occur? Why is it that almost everyone who experiences it, sees the same black shadow hallucination?
@Rajeev Vij Thanks so much! I've experienced it twice before and it is without a doubt, the worst thing I have ever gone through. I was hallucinating both sounds and images but unable to move or scream for help.
I wonder if pain alters the dreams we have and along side that;pain meds?🤔
It may well do..
🤗👍
That's what I called A VIDEO 📸
If you want to get into your dreams and your subconscious try some Baclofen. Baclofen will make your night time dreaming intense and vivid. The trick i use is to before I go to sleep is to remind myself that when I wake up repeat what happened in the dream, this way you will remember the dream details.
Some interesting things I've noticed:
1) Many dreams have a narrative. It is like someone is telling you a story. You are one an adventure. A wake take you out to sea, you turn around you are in cafe, someone says something but you are looking for lost backpack... This is so strange. Who is making up the dream? It is the stream of consciousness James Joyce told us about. The brain has some natural story telling function.
2) Reoccurring dreams. This is another strange phenomena. Having the same dream over and over again. The same bizarre story over again. Unusual details repeating it self.
3) Dreams of people who are familiar in the dream but you don't know who they are. Somehow in your dreams you know these people, perhaps from a past life or an alternate reality. But you when you wake you have no idea who they are.
4) Super dreams. Now and then I will have a dream so detailed and intense, it is a wild phenomena and i wake up a slightly changed person.
came for the science, stayed for the cute doctor
the weirdest dream I had was a lucid dream from an animal's point of view
👍
is brain always active? then dream is just normal? because brain is never sleep?
I don’t dream 😢😢😢
Not at all?
If you smoke weed. Stop and your dreams will return
Unless you've got an issue that doesn't let you dream, then you definitely dream and just can't remember them.
😲
Being a neurosurgeon sucks or it’s the best thing ever?
