The Dreaming Mind: Waking the Mysteries of Sleep



World Science Festival

#briangreene #dream #science
Where do our dreams come from, why do we have them, and what do they mean? Can we harness them to foster creativity, solve problems, and prepare for the future? What’s happening in the brains of so-called lucid dreamers, and can new developments in this cutting-edge field of research help us unlock the mystery of consciousness itself? Researchers Deirdre Barrett, Ken Paller, and Antonio Zadra join Brian Greene for a discussion about the mystery and power of dreams and where our minds go after midnight.

This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.

  1. Also I just wanted to comment and say much RESPECT to Ken and Antonio for advocating for fellowman and the things we still hold sacred in our modern world where we cannot advocate for the amount of stimuli and advertisements we do have to contend with on a daily basis

  2. I am a lucid dreamer who can shape my dreams. If I don't like the dream, I can change or end it. This video is confined to the academic side of dream research, but would have been more interesting if the panel had included psychics, artists, visionaries and others who have far broader experience with dreaming and multiple layers of reality.

  3. can’t swallow that – ‘Sleep is a cousin of death’. Sleep is done in a living body, being monitored minute by minute by an active brain. Sleeping is life, a moment away from saving a loved one in trouble.
    Death is… the end

  4. I normally remember my dreams when I awake. Some are scary as I've had a lot of death in my family. But before all the tragedies, my dreams were like movies, simply amazing! I've dreamed with a lot of celebrities, which is bizarre as I'm not a celebrity freak at all. Overall, I love dreaming.

  5. This dream was so odd: I was in my car and was going home , when I was at the stop light…………….. but I cannot remember this rest, 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔, so odd.

  6. 9:45
    Dr. Barrett's interjection here is very important. She points out that supposing that dreams have one function is like believing that waking thought has but one function, which seems wrong.

  7. I dream so much that I wake up exhausted….and I remember at least 2 o 3 of my dreams.
    I dreamed I was flying, then I was a tiger running on my four paws, and finally turned into a train….wtf…😂!

  8. The colour of my mind, I like that. Just after Christmas. I woke after a dream, and while still half asleep I wrote this poem. In youth I saw Heaven, folded neatly in colours bright. You stood alone with me, to hold back the darkness of the night. Oh would that I could understand, the pink Angelic thoughts of tomorrows dreams. Faded now into the blue of yesterday, where my heart alone must stand, and with that knowing returned to me. Reach out, Reach out. For Gods elusive hand.

  9. Good lord, someone let that lady know these panels are discussions not debates. She started off interrupting and arguing with people right off the bat. GEEZ she's annoying!!

  10. We as humans are always saying, we have x so that we can do y. It's more like we can do y because we have x.

    The subtle difference, but it's pretty amazing how you just kind of fit into the environment around you

  11. This is nothing short of extraordinary. I found content with a similar message, and it was breathtaking. "Better Sleep Better Life" by William Brook

  12. I've also had dreams of places that I've never been and people that I haven't met and a month 2 months 5 months a year and I'll end up at those places or meet the people that I've met in my dreams it's crazy I've had dreams of things happening before they actually happened in life it's weird I'm considered an empath 100%. I feel things deeply

  13. I've actually been to places in my dreams that I've been to in real life and they're different and then I'll go back in the real world visit those places and it kind of bums me out it's such a weird thing

  14. The strange thing is I noticed is that you never dream what you're thinking like say oh I want to have a dream of swimming in the ocean and you'll remember that and you remember it and you remember it keep it in your mind when you go to sleep you dream of riding a dirt bike or something or visiting an old neighborhood you haven't seen in years and then a month later you might have a dream about swimming in the ocean it's just weird it's a weird thing

  15. This is a mind fuck but tell me how it is 95% of the time I know I'm dreaming but when I wake up I cannot remember those dreams and the dreams I have is like me not dreaming at all like it's real life it's crazy where I can smell taste and feel understand make choices sometimes I wonder if I'm traveling somewhere else for real

  16. Kind of disappointed when they didn't mention what kind of dreams do they like best. One of my favorite kind of dreaming was that I could fly. Another was being able to dunk a basketball or hit a home run. And as a child I had dreams about being chased by a T=Rex! I always seemed to be able to hide but one time I couldn't and was so frightened, I woke up…

  17. WARNING⚠️:??? .
    LIST OF DREAMS💭 I IMAGINE:
    -SOME ABOUT ALIENS.
    -SOME ABOUT TIME TRAVELS WHICH ALTER THE TIMELINE.
    -SOME ABOUT CEPHALOPHODOS🐙🦑.
    -SOME WITH RELAXING MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND.
    -SOME WITH FLAMENCO💃🏻 IN THE BACKGROUND.

  18. I was waiting for one of them-probably not the psychologist- to state that our dream world is equally as real as our waking state reality: it just different. For many reasons this is such a mind bender that we just don't get it. I think there are many realities and this is easily the first accessible path to experience another realm.

  19. Mister Obvious says: we continue dreaming during all our existance. How many times has a dream idea entered our mind while we are thinking of another extranious topic in mind. "The world is a dream"

  20. I have lucid dreams and lots of nightmares almost every night. It really messes up with my routines because I am always tired cause I wake up around 3am after a dream. I have very good memory of all the details of what happens in my dreams. Not always I'm aware that I'm a dream but I'm aware of my memories in the real world. So I have dreams I feel like they are real. And when I know they are only a dream I am able to control it and lose any fears. I get invested in my dreams trying to collect information I do not recall remembering in my real life.

  21. One time I was watching the 11'oclock news right before heading to bed and the last news story I watched for some reason shook me to my core… I see lots of stories that do this but for some reason this particular story had some kinda hold on me. It was about a little child found tied up and killed under a neighbors bed. They put out a bolo for the suspect vehicle and I saw a picture of the license plate and then Almost as quickly as I closed my eyes I was inside someone else's body. . I could see her arms and I could see she was darker skin color than me. I watched police come in to the gas station and hang up a wanted poster of the car license plate and then a few hours later the suspect walks in to purchase gas…
    I felt the anxiety of the woman and how hard it was to push the emergency button under the counter, and then I was back in bed . The next morning turned on the news and they caught the suspect in a gas station over night .
    How do these dreams happen!? I try to make it happen on command but it won't

  22. Me and my friends would whisper things to each other in our sleep on purpose and whatever we keep repeating they would have a dream about and we'd play music to see what they dreamed and theyd tell us, what what we conjured up in their dream when talking to them while they slept😅😅😅 great crazy times

  23. Great program — absolutely loved all the dream like visuals. Beautifully done you artists who worked on this. Beautiful. And woven in to the programs perfectly. Thank you artists on WSF!

  24. 19:25 My dreams always have patterns or objects that i had seen previously.
    But what really interests me is the fact that my dreams only put these patterns into place as I start to forget them or they become irrelevant.

  25. As a Lucid Dreamer, This is very helpful, I only know the very basics of dream science and Lucid Dream Science (Lucid Science) and this helps me clear up a lot of misconceptions that I myself have made/told myself.

  26. I hate dreaming. I never have good dreams, at best it’s bearable. Usually it’s just really highly annoying. I cannot ever finish a task. The harder I try to fix a dream situation, it just exhausts me. 💯 Nothing pleasant is ever happening in my dreams.

  27. I dream pretty much every night and when I sleep well, they are extremely vivid and I can recall many many details fairly easily. 90% of the time I can control aspects of the dreams and I would say a good 80% of the time I am fully aware that I am dreaming. Recently, I dreamed that my kitchen was flooded with water up to the ceiling. I didn’t panic because I knew it was merely a dream. Rather, I unplugged the sink to see if it would drain fast enough but it didn’t. I couldn’t breathe so I decided “aww shucks I guess I gotta wake up then” turns out my nose was plugged on both sides because I was sick with a bad cold 😂 dreams feel like another reality in which the rules we know while awake don’t necessarily apply. I’ve even picked places to visit in my dreams. Recently I decided to go to the “sonic video game world.” That was a lot of fun.
