Joe Griffin explaining the psychology and biology of the expectation fulfilment theory of dreaming.

Why do we dream in metaphor? What does dreaming do for us? What would happen if we didn't dream in metaphor? What happens in our brains when we dream?

  • Informative and Understandable video . . . About what you said in 4:10, is it of any harm to keep a dream journal? I dream every night and since Oct 2008 i've been keeping a daily dream journal, fairly detailed. . . so far i have about 40 pages (typed, 12 font) of dreams. I keep them just so i can keep track of what my unconscious ideas/thoughts were and also to see any long term pattern or re-occurrences. . . also, because of my 'good' memory, it helps me remember what events are real and fake

  • SPEAK UP BIIIITCH!

  • For some reason when I wake up I can't remember events that happen during my dream, god they are so real

  • @TheDarklord0211 your intelligence is remarkable.

  • Frosty Lucky Charms, Sun.  Frosty Lucky Charms......lol

  • he only experiment you explain is that if an animal dreams it lowers stress and if you perform BRAIN SURGERY on an animal to stop it dreaming- that animal gets stressed

    and the result you take from that is that dreams lower stress?? are you fucking serious?

    altering the way an animals brain work with SURGERY to stop it doing something it has naturally done its whole life RAISES STRESS.

  • also if we didnt dream our automatic nervous system would be activated??? THAT IS ALWAYS ACTIVATED IT CONTROLLS our HEARTRATE
