Why We Dream - Science Documentary

That image scared the shit out of me, it is currently 1am dude.
Fuck you.

such a wonderful documentary 💟 and i reach to the end of it and all these talks about dreams make me a little bit sleepy

I often have these dreams where I am either running from something or something bad is happening, and I always somehow tell myself ‘it’s just a dream, I’ll wake up soon’ then I stop running and then I wake up escaping the chase or bad thing

Wasn't planning on watching until the preview showed that there was no ai, learning from a person who cares will always be better

thanks for no ai, and explaining why i had déjà vu

Sleeping can be so wonderful, I always dreamt about a peaceful village or a world where everything was peaceful and didn't cause any harm to anyone or myself. Thinking about this know made me think about the past where i used to have lucid nightmares every night until it became detrimental to myself. I think its my mind giving me a rest from the past, nowadays I always can control what i dream about.

Felt real, feels real, today after nap, woke up from a dream where a part of my mind was telling me I left grandma alone, by herself, and when I woke up the very conscious part of the brain told me...that she's dead, reminded me she's dead. Probably was the regret part in me trying to make up for the lost time with some family members.

Were times where my dreams were predictive. It matters also what input the brain gets.

And then are also the dreams of delusional people...

This is the most creative and informative video i have seen so far!

Guess what …i falled asleep while watching this

im not an artist but i have a verry active imagination and often when im dreaming i will come up with a verry interesting creature design

The main point is to immediately forget and disregard bizarre dreams as they mean nothing. You're human with a powerful, rational brain. Shakespeare said it best: "To sleep, perchance to dream"

I would like to dream all my life, it's amazing that we have this opportunity.

Liked when you said there’s no AI and subscribed when you asked, no clanker content… hell yeah 🍻😌

What about recurring dreams or dreams that end up true later?

I had a bunch of weird dreams, woke up, put this video on and fell asleep again, and I was hearing the video about dreams play inside of a dream throught my dream phone and I couldn't pause it no matter how hard I tried because it was playing to me irl 💀💀

Most common theme in my dreams: Falling from high buildings (great height) and being lost in an unknown place (not finding the way back home). When i was younger (around my 20s) i often dreamt about women (specifically spending time with my fictional GF/ wife), getting killed by monsters, loosing teeth and even occensionally fighting dragons (I was a Dovahkiin before it was cool).

thanks for making this dude it’s a cool video

I don't have sleep paralysis but I have had distressing false awakenings, and I find that there's a strangely small amount of literature on that. I had a horrendous false awakening dream back in 2019 where I woke up into 3-4 different dreams, and in the last one, I was chased by a demon named Calduze, and when I woke up FINALLY in reality, I was legit looking out my window and everything to make sure it was the real reality. I was legit in a weird psychotic break for like 2 minutes upon waking. And of course, throughout high school (i went from 2011-2015), I had dozens of dreams of getting ready for school, only to not actually be getting ready of course...
Lately, as of March 2026, I've just been having a lot of cosmic dreams. Giant red moons, black holes made of Ophanim angels, Saturn being visible in the night sky (as the full planet, not just a "star" in the distance).
Ezekiel ain't got SHIT on me.

me trynna go to the comments to maybe see people talk about their dreams and relate over that but it's just comments about AI...
